Saturday 22nd June; THE WOBURN LODGE 25 AND THE RAWHITI LODGE 66.  charity golf Tournament. All proceeds going to the Dannevirke & Waipukurau Community Patrols (Details to follow)


Sister Clubs Report;   We had a very successful tournament with a field of 93 on Saturday and 95 on Sunday.. Sunday was competition day and the final scores were Dannevirke 30.77, Patea 30.7, Weedons 29.4 and Rarangi 28.5. Therefore Dannevirke received the Friendship Plaque. The top individual was Mike Matthews with 39 stableford points. Next year the tournament is to be hosted by the Rarangi Golf Club

.

On Sunday afternoon the traditional Court session was held with people being fined for misdemeanours that had been observed over the weekend. It was decided the proceeds would be donated to a couple of local families. With this worthy cause an auction of team shirts followed and along with some generous donations , $3,720.00 was raised and will be split equally between the 2 families. Shane Smyth is 33 years old and has recently had a liver transplant. He is out of hospital but has to stay in Auckland under observation. Shane and wife Bec have 4 children aged from 20 months to 13 years old

.

Lockie Harris is 4 years old, 8 months ago he was diagnosed with Wilms Tumour, cancer of the kidney a rare disease that is found in children. Clarke and partner Kate also have a 2 year old daughter. His Dad is self employed, he told me he’s lost count of the number of trips to Starship. I have spoken to both families and they really appreciate the gesture by the golfers. They’re amazed that total strangers have offered support.


I met with Dave Murdoch yesterday and I encourage everyone to look for the Bush Telegraph article in the next couple of weeks.


Our visitors all enjoyed playing on our course and appreciated the Dannevirke hospitality. Thanks to everyone that came out and helped ensuring we had a memorable and successful tournament.

 Regards Stephen


Tonight has been a computer fail night. I have a flyer for the Lodge Tournament, but for the life of me I can't get it to attach. I'll work on it for next week. I,m sure members will flock to our course this week end following last weeks closure for the Sisters Club event. Remember if you are entering Sattrup & Brannigan, entries close 11.00am, If you are entering the Club field on Saturdays, please be on course no later than 11.15, as that is when the groups are being made up for 11.30am tee off.


Good Golfing👍
