Coronation Cup; Last weekend we hosted the 2020 finals weekend of the GHB Coronation Cup. Our zone champions Pongaroa went through to secure the silver ware again, being the third time in the last few years. Well done to the Pongaroa team. Hastings were keeping in touch after two matches Saturday, but Pongaroa were to strong in the end. Special thanks to Kierane and AG for the extra work put in preparing our course, and to the members who assisted Saturday and Sunday around the Clubhouse, and in the bar. Andrew Jones (Executive officer for Golf HB) admires our Club and our attitude that nothings a problem, and we just get on and do these things. Thanks everyone for allowing us to host this event and once again showcase our course.

 

Saturday 5th December; Card draw 11.30am

 

Monday 7th December; Annual General Meeting . Please note the time 7.30pm. Our apologies that the Reports went out to members with the start time of 7pm. The committee had decided to run half an hour later 7.30pm to allow our working members to get home from work, have something to eat without rushing to be at the club by 7pm 

 

Saturday 12th December, Christmas Cheer 12 noon Shot Gun Start.  If you have your groups ready, please enter them on the board in the foyer, so that a draw can be partially completed before late arrivals on Saturday. Please put all team members names on the list so starters can find people for entry fee payment. Thankyou

 

Security; Still the odd miss happening. The last two have been the rear door by the downstairs chiller, and the cart shed with the combination lock. The later should be easily fixed. If you go in there shut the door on the way out. It doesn't need to be held back, as there aren't that many clubs housed in there.

 

Desperate call from Stephen Paewai; 

 

Help wanted! On Friday 11 December we are hosting the end of year luncheon for the Dannevirke High School staff. We need bar staff, ideally 4 people, with 2 from 10.00 to 12.30 and then 2 from 12.30 to 3.00 pm. It won’t be too onerous as some of them are going to play 9 holes of golf and they’re going to have games like closest to the pin on the practice fairway. So if you can help please give me a ring on 0211658685 . Thanks Stephen

 

Seniors; We have rescheduled to next Tuesday, so the 
Xmas Cheer will now be held at Dannevirke 8th December starting at 10.30am.
Cheers
Gus.

 

The year is fast heading to an end, but we still have a some great Christmas Cheer events ahead, so come on out and enjoy our course and try and bring home the bacon

 

Good Golfing

Unfortunately, no one was able to ‘sink a hole in one’ and win the money. A big thank you to Mr Amrit Pasad and all the staff and students who helped to make this event a success. We would also like to thank the Dannevirke Golf Course, our generous sponsors and our community for entering the tournament and participating in the fundraising activities held on the day. All profits of this event will go towards our students’ sports travel." Special General Meeting; Thank you to the 55 members who turned out Monday night for the purpose of " Setting the annual member subscription fees for the 2026 / 2027 year. " The conclusion being the annual subscriptions for 2026 / 2027 is $665 for full playing members. The Management Committee acknowledges their error in not advertising this as an Agenda item at the AGM in December. Matter sorted, repeat of error to be avoided, move on. We are in the thick of Match Play golf with GHB Pennants and now Club Champs, and in April, the Coronation Cup. I hope all participants enjoy the experience. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
