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, 😊

Saturday 25th October; Club day draw 11.15 am, Tee off 11.30 am. Duty, Richie, House, Angela. 2026 Barry Illsley Sponsored 72 Hole Matchplay Open Tournament. Preliminary work is underway for this tournament. Dates yet to be confirmed, but it looks like the Wellington Anniversary Weekend in January, starting on Friday, and concluding on Sunday. Presidents Cup Final: t o be contested between Timmy Bell and Denzil Treacy Junior. Sattrup & Brannigan, 2025 winners Mark Rosocaker & Chappy Maniapoto. Congratulations guys. Ladies Shoot Out; Completed today with Margaret Treacy winning from Margaret Stephenson. Another great day from all accounts. On Course Tee Signs: A big shout-out to our tee sponsors for their continued support of our Club. With business changes, we have 5 tee signs available for advertising your business. If any member wishes to take up one of these signs, please contact our Secretary Bailey Harold at dannevirkegolf@xtra.co.nz. Annual General Meeting; Monday 8th December. Another call please, for members to consider putting themselves forward for nomination to the various committees. Our thanks to Bailey for her work to date on the new constitution. Every Club in NZ has to update their Constitution before the end of April 2026, so we can continue to apply for Charity funding etc. Golf NZ produced a template, and we are just adding the final touches for our Club. This will need to be adopted at the AGM. At this point, we have not had any major damage on our course with the wind, but today is going to be another windy one. Fingers crossed, we get through unscathed, and the wind settles for a fine weekend with ample opportunity to play some golf. Best wishes to all who are traveling this weekend for tournaments or other golfing adventures. Travel safely and play well. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe

Greenwood Cup Rounds 1-3; Conditions at Waipukurau Golf Club were very pleasant for two rounds of golf Saturday and one Sunday. The rough at Waipukurau has for years has been dense clover and still is, which can be deceiving, as the ball looks ok, but the clover can be difficult to hit from. Saturday morning the team played Karamu having a 7 to 3 win, followed in the afternoon with an 8.5 to 1.5 win against Central Hawkes Bay. Sunday morning we came up against the first of the city Clubs Napier, and were defeated 7 to 3. Two matches concluded with draws on the 18th, and 3 finished on the 17th, so it wasn't all bad. The current standings are Hastings first on 6 points with 27.5 games, Onga Onga second also on 6 points and 23 games, Napier third with 4 points and 20 games, with Dannevirke fourth on 4 points and 18.5 games. Looking forward to the final four rounds at Hastings Golf Club on November 15th & 16th . Annual General Meeting; Monday 8th December at 7.30pm. A reminder to Committee chairman and others to have your reports to Gail by next weekend (Labour Weekend) for the Annual Report. With daylight saving now in progress, encourage any friends or relatives that are keen to maybe consider a Summer Subscription. (Runs the duration of daylight saving) For membership forms see Patrick at Harold Golf Shop, or email Bailey at dannevirkegolf@xtra.co.nz . If your game is off colour at present, again see Patrick for a lesson. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
