Ladies Club Championships; from Captain Glenys, 

 

To meet your wee challenge and report in regarding our ladies champs yesterday. 


After some brief early rain and a bit of wind the golf played was of a very high standard. With most of our ladies members in attendance either playing, caddying or watching and dinner at the Mangatera last night we had a very special and successful day.


Senior champs Margaret Stephenson versus Angela Farrell, Margaret was the victor after 31 holes, finishing on Lands End 6/5. All square at the 18 hole lunchtime break Margaret had a quick break winning the next 3 holes. Angela sank some beautiful long putts to halve the next 2 holes and win Cosy Corner so still a tight battle. A great match and Angela a very worthy opponent. It was great to have her there. Want you back Bo. Well done Margaret. 


Intermediate Champs Elaine Swanney versus Joy Charmley. The legendary Swan the victor and Steady Joy. A great match finishing on the 15th hole, Elaine leading at the lunchtime break 2 up and Joy fighting back. Joy has played some great steady golf this year and well deserved to be a finalist. Putts not quite dropping as they should have adding to the closeness of the match. Swan is a legend!!


Junior Champs Gill Charmley versus Jolanda de Vliet. Played over 18 holes Gill was victorious on the 15th hole. Although many players weren’t available for the junior champs a great experience for Jolanda as it was her first experience playing match play. With Marilyn Hall caddying for Jolanda she will have learnt a great deal so well done to you both. 


We had the privilege of our 2 life members Edith and Helen Martin following all the days matches. Edith hasn’t been to the course for a while and commented some of the now nicely mown areas were pretty thick rough in her day so no excuses.


A big thank you to our green keepers for the fantastic condition of the course and the beautiful, freshly mown greens for our day. 


Thanks to everyone for making it a great day and some great golf. 


Cheers Glenys



Clubhouse; from Stephen Paewai

On Thursday 15 October we have a group of 19 golfers from Lower Hutt (Shandon Golf Club, I think) playing a round of golf at Dannevirke, teeing off at 10.30 am. They’d like a drink after their round and as I’m away I’ve asked Gus to look after them but if there is anyone else available to assist it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Stephen

 

Saturday 31st October ; St Joseph’s School Ambrose Tournament

Saturday 31 October is the annual St Joseph’s School teams of three Ambrose tournament. Start time is 10.30 am, cost $20 per person, good prizes and plenty of fun. Entries available at St Joseph’s, or phone 374 7910 or email admin@stjosephsdvke.school.nz 

 

To our new members who may ask, What is Ambrose?. In short 3 players per team, add your handicaps and divide by 6. All tee off, select the best ball, the two players who do not own that ball play a shot etc until you get to the green. On the green, all players can attempt putting. Each group must use 3 tee shots from each player. At the conclusion of the round best nett wins, and moves down the scores. 

As a Club we donate out course twice a year for a school fundraiser. St Josephs and Dannevirke High School. A great day and lots of fun. 

 

Best wishes for the four gentlemen playing the Sattrup Brannigan final, and to our Greenwood Cup team nest weekend. What's On is taking a break next Thursday, but will be back a week later, on Wednesday 21st. I'm sure Brad Dippie will read the results from Glenys tonight and provide a similar high standard report on Greenwood Cup play Thanks Brad. 

 

As always. Good Golfing,
