The conclusion is on Sunday with a mini tournament over 3 holes, 16, 17 and 18 from 10am until 1pm. Captain Mike and his many helpers, would appreciate extra support on Sunday, with golfers walking with the players and helping when and where necessary, (its junior golf, not the NZ Open) and these are young kids, being given basic skills for the future. Sausage sizzle etc going on so pop on out and lend a hand.


Monday 9th December; Annual General Meeting,  club house at 7.30pm


Saturday 14th December;  Christmas Cheer 12 noon shot gun start. Entry sheet is in the foyer at the Golf Club. Names need to be in the draw to be in the field please. Cart bookings through Captain Mike, no booking, no cart


Result Fielding Inter club;  A field of 59 players participated in the annual inter club, 27 from Fielding and 32 locals. Things didn't look good for Dannevirke when Syd Hikiwai came in at number 6 in the senior field, however 7 in the top ten in the juniors gave us some hope. Final result, Fielding aggregate stableford 31.17 Dannevirke 30.6. Good scores from Dannevirke included Jim Morton 41, Drum 37, JJ Carberry 37 Ranier Arnold 36 and Syd Hikiwai 35. . Great to see Fielding had 19 players in the 0 to 14 senior field, including 9 under 10 handicap. We need to roll out our seniors for next years challenge at Fielding.


The golfing year is fast coming to an end. At our AGM on Monday night, we have a few retiring committee members. On behalf of the Club, thank you for your service to your fellow golfers and the Club. Included in the retirees is Captain Mike.  After 6 years as Club Captain Mike is taking a well earned break. Again on behalf of the members, thank you Mike for all you have done. While some members may think all Captains should be the same, we all have different personalities and different approaches to the job in hand. Mike you did it your way, and the next Captain will do it their way.  Thank you Mike, and thank you Barbara, for all your support. 


Summer run is here folks, making the course a little shorter (if you take the short way) so come on out and enjoy the course, and the company of fellow players.


Good golfing👍
