Dannevirke Golf

Saturday 5th February; Club Day 11.30am card draw, (Don't forget to sign in on the Covid App) First round Summer Cup matches to be completed, as the second round is next week end


Reminder Monday 7th February; On Monday 7th February Dannevirke will host the third round of the Tararua Open, Motor Home Association Tournament. Players will have already played Eketahuna and Pahiatua, so the camping area, and car park will have plenty of motor homes parked up. Captain Mike advises, we will be providing a roast meal for all players on the Monday evening. A BBQ will be running during the day Looking for members or partners who can assist during the afternoon to prepare, serve and clean up after the meal. Please indicate to Mike if you can and will assist. Captain Mike has other duties with this event, so please members lend him a hand, Tee Off Monday;  The motor homes tournament (approx 60 players) will commence between 10am and 10.30. Members from 11am please


Private Function;

The upstairs lounge is closed from Thursday to Saturday for a wedding, so members will need to use the downstairs bar. I’ll leave some sheets at the downstairs bar, please mark the drinks on this sheet which will make it easier for Miranda to reconcile the bar takings.

 

The red traffic light system has presented us with a small but quite solvable problem if everyone does the right thing. Those at the wedding are one bubble, golfers are another bubble and they can not mix. Therefore would Saturday golfers please use the toilets behind the trundler shed. I’ll be at golf on Saturday to remind golfers of this requirement. I appreciate this does cause some inconvenience for members, but private functions do provide an added income stream for the golf club. Thanks for your co operation.

 

On Tuesday 8 February the upstairs lounge is being used for a seminar from 11.00 am to 2.00 pm, so could the vets please use the downstairs bar.

 

Marae tournament.

 

The annual marae tournament is being held on Saturday 26 February. A sheet has been put up in the foyer so if you’d like to play please put your name down. Also for new members this is a great fun tournament so please think about entering. Regards Stephen


Seniors; (Ladies 50 + years, Men 55)  As is usual when the Seniors group travel away on a Tuesday then Thursday becomes a normal club day teeing off at 10am. Cheers Gus


2024. Congratulations Marils Hall for putting Dannevirke Golf Club forward to host the North Islands Chartered Club Ladies Tournament in January 2024. A Committee of positive thinking people, with a can do attitude will be formed in the next month or so to start preparations.
