Golf HB / Poverty Bay Ladies Golf Association Annual General Meeting . I attended the said meeting tonight at the Maraenui Golf Club. President Russell Burn has retired after many years as a member of the Association and in later years the Board that runs the finances and Representative fixtures. New President is Dave Lawrence. Our Association is one of five in New Zealand that is anything like financial. NZ Golf have indicated levies will increase next year in line with inflation, but our own Association has voted to keep ours at this years level. Charity applications assist with some of the team travel and accommodation, as well as updating some uniforms. The meeting had its challenges, but to be fair, the challenges were brought due to Constitutional errors, which may appear light at hand, but are necessary, for correct operation of our Association.  . Dave Lawrence concluded the meeting by proposing Life Membership for Russell Burn, which was passed unanimously. Congratulation Russell 


That's it for this week folk. Having not played golf the past two weekends, I'm looking for to a game Saturday, either rough or fresh. 


Good Golfing

What's On 16th June 2025?

Saturday June 14th; Wiffin Cup Round 2 matchplay. Duty, Match Bernie, House Basil A subtle reminder from our captains, that some round 1 Wiffin Cup matches are still outstanding. Please get these completed as soon as possible. Please let the person waiting to play the winner know what is happening, so they are aware. Sattrup & Brannigan; The draw is up in the club house. The weather was not that great last Saturday for first round matches, but again please keep in contact with your opponents, and get these games played before round 2 on June 28th. Given we are now in winter conditions, please use metal tracks etc where possible, especially if you are in a cart or on a bike. Skid marks take forever to grow grass in the winter, and your fellow golfers won't be happy playing off the bare dirt. Not a lot to report tonight, so I'll sign off. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe

Dannevirke South School is having a major reunion, and as such we have four groups of 4 playing nine holes at 9am. Please extend a warm welcome to our visitors. Saturday 31st / Sunday 1st June; Sisters Club Inter Club being played at Rarangi (Blenheim) We have a team of 20 heading south for this annual event, which is being played for about the 53rd time? Pine Trees; The Club has 6 plantations of pines which have been there for many years. The original intention being to plant these for harvest, and time has come for this process to begin. In the very near future, there will be felling carried out in three areas. Firstly some pines that need to come down at the back of number 11 green, by the railway, the plantation to the right of 13 (Lands End,) and a couple of pines to the left of number 13, which shade the green during winter. This work will have minimal effect on fairways, as the trees at the back of 11 will be trucked out via the farm, the lands end plantation will go out through the former Ministry of Works yard, the ones to the left of Lands end will go out along the river bank again to the MOW yard. The question of replanting, particularly the right of Lands End will be considered and proposals put to the December 2025 Annual General Meeting. All tree felling will be done early in the morning, and only trimming and log removal will carry on during the day. Please, If any area is fenced off, and No Entry signs are in place, then they are there for yours and the contractors safety. Such areas are not a recommendation, they are a rule, and any members seen entering these areas will be severely spoken too ! Another big weekend for Dannevirke mens golf. On behalf of our members, best wishes to our Coronation Cup team. Good Golfing,👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
