What's on 7 April 2022

Bryan Burt - Club scribe • April 7, 2022

Sunday 10th April; Round 3 GHB Pennants. Saturday  9th April; Club Championships Round 2 Matchplay. 11.30am card draw. Covid is still causing issues around town, with members being locked down, and maybe missing one or two weeks of golf. Please be patient and talk with your opponents. We have until May 7th to get to semi finals, so please show your sporting prowess and play these matches at your earliest opportunity.


Sunday 10th April; Round 3 GHB Pennants. (draw from Andrew Jones below)


Ladies Foursomes tournament 31st March.  A successful tournament very generously sponsored by our Life members Edith and Helen Martin was held last week. A field of 52 teed off to play a foursomes format. Representatives from surrounding clubs attended, with visitors from as far as Taupo, Masterton, Judgeford, most Hawkes Bay Clubs, and Manawatu. Our winners came from Rangitira, and runners up Pahiatua. A special thanks to the gentlemen from the vets who assisted with collating the cards and bar. Thank you to Joy for the catering and all the golf ladies who contributed to the day with morning tea, raffle prizes, and decorations. Again our course was pristine. Thanks to everyone.  Glenys


Vaccinate Mandate & Pennants Draw;  (from GHB Executive officer Andrew Jones) As you are all aware the Government has removed the need for Vaccine Mandates in our industry as of Tuesday. After this happened feedback from all clubs was sought regarding their stance going forward with the potential for us to drop our requirement to be vaccinated to participate in Golf Hawkes Bay events.


After receiving feedback from the vast majority of clubs regarding this requirement the decision has been made to remove need to provide proof of vaccination for Golf Hawkes Bay events Hopefully this should help teams having more players available for selection

.

If in the future this rule or something of the like needs to be implemented it will be done with feedback from the golf clubs.


Since it has been a little bit of times between rounds below is the draw for this weekend including the tee times that I have been sent. If host clubs could ensure that they have sent these to the respective teams would be much appreciated

Tuesday 19th April Seniors Visit to Palmerston North; Have spoken to Norm, our Club manager, & your green fees will be $20.00 per player & our Vets competition is $5.00 which includes the competition, twos, & two raffle tickets. If your fellows could go to the pro shop on arrival, pay their green fees & get their cards, & then come to the starters box to enter the competition, we will team them up with some of our members to mix up the field a bit. 


Looking forward to seeing you on the 19th. 


That winds up tonight's edition of What's On. Our course is a great condition at present given the rains came at the right time, and our fairways have recovered from the summer dry. Keep those matches rolling along.


Good Golfing

What's On 11 August 2025?

By Bryan Burt - club scribe • September 11, 2025
Coring; Kierane and his team had a good run early in the week and got the course open for golfing today. Thanks to our staff and all who helped out. Friday 12th September; (3 options) 1 Our course is open, so weather permitting, there will be golf at Dannevirke 2 Cape Turnagain are hosting the Annual Firms Day. 18 holes 10 am Morning tea, 11 am Tee off. $30 entry fee; 3 Onga Onga, Our very own Jim Hickey (aka Doug) thinks the weather here tomorrow is going to be horrid, but a bit further away from the ranges at Onga Onga, things look better with rain not predicted until later in the day. Anyone wanting to go north, leave from the Mangatera Hotel car park at 10.45 am, Tee off at Onga at 11.30 am. Saturday 13th September; Kitt, Kerr, Hape, Simpson foursomes. Duty Zane, House Johnny. Zane has a copy of the rules for those who are not sure on them. 11.30am tee off Green Staff: There is a rule that states "Greens Staff have the right of way". There is only so many hours in a week, and the staff have lots to do to get everything groomed. If a tractor is heading towards you, please wait for them to get out of your range before hitting your ball. You wouldn't hit a ball at someone walking towards you, so don't do so to someone on a tractor. They can't jump out of the way of an oncoming ball if that were to happen. If a green is being mowed, wave the green staff to carry on; it only takes a few minutes to mow a green. A couple of minutes' delay for your round of golf is nothing compared to consistent stopping and starting for the staff. Common sense should prevail. If in doubt, " Wait, thank you. Spring weather is really upon us at present. Tomorrow looks ugly, but who knows? If you wish to brave the conditions, there are plenty of options this weekend. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe

Evening all, Saturday 6th September; Card draw at 11.30 am, Duty? House Tony Saturday 13th September; Kitt, Kerr, Hape, Simpson 4somes over 18 holes. This has been mentioned previously, so make up a pair and come along for an 11.30 am start. Takapau 18 Hole Strokeplay Tournament. Thanks for the support from the 20 members who went through to Takapau last Saturday. We made up close to a quarter of the field, so great support for our friends at Takapau. The gross winner was J McGillicuddy. Pongaroa were the 2025 winners of the Ruahine Rosebowl.  That's it for tonight, folks. Have a good weekend. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe

What's On 29 August 2025?

By Bryan Burt - Club Scribe • August 28, 2025
A few bits and pieces to mention. Friday 29th August; Course Closed. The course is closed tomorrow for a Master Builders Ambrose Tournament. There is 90-something players in the field starting on multiple tees, so best we keep clear for them . Friday Boys Mid-Day Competition: Doug has suggested playing in Takapau tomorrow. Gather at the Mangatera Hotel car park for an 11 am departure, 11.30 am tee off at Takapau. Saturday 30th August; Takapau 18-hole Stroke play tournament. (Final Ruahine Rosebowl). The draw for this event is attached (click) . Please ignore the numbers down the left side . The top part of the draw is teeing of Dardanelles with the junior field going off Westwood Ho. It looks like a late start but given they have allowed 11-minute gaps, I am sure the field will start quicker than written. I would suggest being early as I can't see 11-minute times being adhered to. For those interested, a van is leaving Drums at 9.15am. Saturday 30th August; At home, Duty Richie House Angela. Seniors, because of the impending visit by Central and Southern to Cape Turnagain on Tuesday, September 2 nd , we will have a full Club day on Thursday, 4 th , complete with raffles, approaches, etc. On the 9 th September, we are unable to play because of coring. We are looking at a visit to Fielding or Eketahuna on that day. We shall advise next week as to where we are going, and see who are interested. Monday 8th September; Coring. The course will be closed until this job is complete. Kierane will advise when the course is reopened Hole In One; Congratulations Jolanda Van Viliet for holing out on number 14 yesterday. Great effort, Jolanda. Plenty happening as we head into spring golf. Good luck to the 22 heading to Takapau on Saturday. Hopefully, this isn't their last Tournament, but that is a matter for the members to sort. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
