Saturday 5th August; SHB 27 hole Strokeplay Tournament. Round 4 Ruahine Rosebowl. Please keep this tournament in mind. 


Greenwood Cup; Dannevirke plays host to the first 3 round of this competition on October 15 - 16th. Greenwood brings the best of Hawkes Bay golfers together for an 8 club match play competition.(Dannevirke being one of those 8 teams) A sub committee committee has been formed to select and manage this years team Club members wanting to be considered for the Greenwood team need to be out playing plenty of golf.

One stipulation we wish to put forward, is that to be considered, the August 5th 27 Hole Tournament is a must play! If for any reason you cannot play in this event please contact captain Mike. . Players wishing to be considered, please put your name on the list in the foyer We have a lot to organize for this week end, so at a later date we will be calling for assistance from members.


Nothing much has changed since last week. A bit of wind today may dry things a little, depends on how much rain we get. Please keep carts an trundlers off approach areas, to keep these areas mud free. Again please repair divots and pitch marks. I'll stop requesting this when we stop finding them on the course. To date that hasn't happened.


Good Golfing👍
