Championships Round 2, Please confirm matches with starter
Clubhouse. As we are a bar, we can now open up again. I beleive at this stage the House Committee are selling stubbies and Quarts only, no draught beers (TBC)
There will be rules so please abide by them
Mikes request; Competition cash is becoming a real problem, with the cash machines in town dishing out $50 notes. Please we just don't have change for everyone, so if you can save a $10 note during the week for Saturday, it will make life so much easier for the Match Committee. Thanks
Golf HB Association; As mentioned previously, the Zoom meeting agreed that both Coronation and Greenwood Cups would be played this year subject to gathering size being lifted.
If we are going ahead, the Soutnern Zone match has been penciled in for Saturday / Sunday August 1st and 2nd (at Dannevirke) This will replace our 27hole Tournament, as the Rosebowl is not happening this year, as both Pongaroa and Cape Turnagain have missed their dates. The finals will be held November 14-15, the same weekend as the Greenwood final weekend.
Great to see golf up a going again. Under foot conditions are still excellent, so lets keep the Championships matches flowing, so we finish on time on June 20th. Good luck with your matches.

On Course Tee Signs: A big shout-out to our tee sponsors for their continued support of our Club. With business changes, we have 5 tee signs available for advertising your business. If any member wishes to take up one of these signs, please contact our Secretary Bailey Harold at dannevirkegolf@xtra.co.nz. Annual General Meeting; Monday 8th December. Another call please, for members to consider putting themselves forward for nomination to the various committees. Our thanks to Bailey for her work to date on the new constitution. Every Club in NZ has to update their Constitution before the end of April 2026, so we can continue to apply for Charity funding etc. Golf NZ produced a template, and we are just adding the final touches for our Club. This will need to be adopted at the AGM. At this point, we have not had any major damage on our course with the wind, but today is going to be another windy one. Fingers crossed, we get through unscathed, and the wind settles for a fine weekend with ample opportunity to play some golf. Best wishes to all who are traveling this weekend for tournaments or other golfing adventures. Travel safely and play well. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe

Greenwood Cup Rounds 1-3; Conditions at Waipukurau Golf Club were very pleasant for two rounds of golf Saturday and one Sunday. The rough at Waipukurau has for years has been dense clover and still is, which can be deceiving, as the ball looks ok, but the clover can be difficult to hit from. Saturday morning the team played Karamu having a 7 to 3 win, followed in the afternoon with an 8.5 to 1.5 win against Central Hawkes Bay. Sunday morning we came up against the first of the city Clubs Napier, and were defeated 7 to 3. Two matches concluded with draws on the 18th, and 3 finished on the 17th, so it wasn't all bad. The current standings are Hastings first on 6 points with 27.5 games, Onga Onga second also on 6 points and 23 games, Napier third with 4 points and 20 games, with Dannevirke fourth on 4 points and 18.5 games. Looking forward to the final four rounds at Hastings Golf Club on November 15th & 16th . Annual General Meeting; Monday 8th December at 7.30pm. A reminder to Committee chairman and others to have your reports to Gail by next weekend (Labour Weekend) for the Annual Report. With daylight saving now in progress, encourage any friends or relatives that are keen to maybe consider a Summer Subscription. (Runs the duration of daylight saving) For membership forms see Patrick at Harold Golf Shop, or email Bailey at dannevirkegolf@xtra.co.nz . If your game is off colour at present, again see Patrick for a lesson. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
