Club Championships; These were scheduled to commence this Saturday, but unfortunately Captain Mike has had a hectic couple of weeks with work, so simply has not had time to do the draw. For our new members with handicaps. We run our championships on an all in basis, meaning starting with the lowest handicap index, groups of 16 are drawn to make up Senior, Intermediate, and Junior grades. We ask, If you do not want to be in the draw, please phone, text or email Captain Mike to be removed. Email Mike Matthews <mikematthews058@gmail.com>, or phone / text him on 021 402043.

What's On; tonight I have added 29 new members to the list of people receiving What's On every Thursday. The purpose of What's On is to inform members what is happening at your club, plus some results etc from previous events. If you don't want to receive this email please reply to sender (not all) to have your name removed.


Marae Tournament; 

Thanks to those that supported the tournament on Saturday, numbers were down on previous years due to the forecast weather, although the rain didn’t come till the last hole for a couple of unfortunate groups. Also we didn’t get the numbers from the Bay that normally support the event for obvious reasons. Despite this thanks to the generosity of players and sponsors it was a financially successful day.

 

Special thanks to the Dannevirke Golf Club, the Greens staff and all those that supported the tournament.

 

The scoring wasn’t spectacular, despite very good playing conditions.

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

Support in the way of caddies, or simply observers will be appreciated. Saturday 31st May; Kings Birthday weekend. 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
