Bryan Burt - Club Scribe • May 30, 2024

Saturday 1st & Sunday 2nd June; Course Closed,  as we are hosting the annual Sisters Club Tournament with a 10.30am start both days, and a field of 96


House Committee Duty;  Saturday Stephen Paewai, Sunday Miranda Hobbs


Sisters Club; Members of our 3 Sister Clubs, Patea, Rarangi and Weedons, will be arriving Friday afternoon. We’re having a mix and mingle at the Citizens and Services Club from 6 pm, all welcome.


Saturday we have a shotgun start at 10.30 am the field is closed. Same time tee off on Sunday. I have a couple of spare spots if anyone would like to play.


Thanks to all those that have offered to help, anyone else that might have a spare couple of hours I can find a job.


Members note the course is closed Saturday and Sunday. You may get 9 holes after 3 pm


Thanks to the Greens staff for all the work you’ve been doing to get the course ready for the tournament. Stephen.


Coronation Cup;  Last weekend finals proved too tough for our team. Course ratings mean players from the smaller clubs get extra shots on the longer par courses, and we were generally out played, and giving shots. That been said, we have to acknowledge the efforts put in by all who played from each club. There was good golf played, in good conditions. Wairoa the eventual winners, along with Puketiritiri and Pongaora, all had two match wins to tie on 4 points each. The count back on individual games went narrowly in Wairoa's favour, ahead of Puketiritiri and Pongaora.   Dannevirke was in 4th place. We need to take heart in the fact, that this year we finished in 4th place in a Golf HB wide competition, which involves all 17 Clubs. Thank you to our team for giving it their best, and to our selectors, supporters, and caddies for their assistance. 


Tuesday 3rd June; Seniors, just a quick reminder, that on the 4th of June we will be playing at Norsewood golf ⛳️ course tee of time is 10.30 . The cost $15 . Hope to see you . Peter Johnston club captain.


Being Kings Birthday again, we have members involved with Sisters Club at home, The Evans family playing in the Feilding match play tournament, and members away in Taumaranui for their Annual match play. As mentioned by Stephen, their may be time to get in 9 holes after 3pm Saturday or Sunday, but otherwise the course is closed, as all carts are required for the tournament, and we have a shot gun start each day from multiple tees. Travel well and play well.


Good Golfing, 😊
