HB Eagles Golfing Society; Halberg Fundraising Tournament; Last Thursday along with fellow Eagles Stephen Prenter, Max Charmley, Warren Ridge, Rod Henricksen and Robin Dailey (positioned on a drinks and raffle hole) plus Gill & Joy Charmley and Ian Mckenzie, we played the annual Halberg Foundation fundraising tournament at Napier Golf Club. A booked full field of 144 minus the odd late scratching, scoring was not all that flash with both the men's groups top scoring with 38 points, ladies I believe was 37. At the dinner following the tournament a cheque was presented to the Halberg Foundation for $20,000, taking the fundraising total for the past 41 years to just over $400,000. With an Application going to Pub Charity and using those funds to purchase prizes from Waipukurau Mitre 10, there was an excellent prize table. The Cape Kidnappers Raffle also generates a substantial amount for this event with Honorary Member Julian Robertson donating four rounds plus carts at the the Cape. Added to this another 20 odd Club from HB and the extended Lower North Island also donated rounds for four. Three of those prizes came to Dannevirke. Stephen Prenter has the vouchers and will present them to the winners in due course. To our members, thankyou for your support with this raffle. We can all be proud of the amount donated to the Hallberg Foundation

 

Coronation Cup Finals. Saturday 28th Sunday 29th November. This years final was delayed because of Covid 19. Golf HB thanks Dannevirke for making their course available for the finals. There is input required from our Club, so please assist Captain Mike with this. Full support from both the match and House committee is requested. Catering and the bar are our only sources of income, so lets make the most of it. Further details and requests to follow.

 

Number 7 Tee garden; Thanks to the four ladies who spread the bark around this week. Apparently looks very good. Once the new shrubs get established, it will be a really nice corner to our course. Thanks to everyone who either worked on this project or sponsored plants etc.

 

From Caleb Shuker & Chris Stuart. Longest day Golf Challenger

 

We are taking on the Longest Day Golf Challenge for New Zealanders with cancer and would love your help.


Playing as part of a team, we are Caleb Shuker and Chris Stuart


We’re taking on the toughest challenge in golf and attempting to play four rounds in one day to raise money for the Cancer Society. We’ll be spreading the word about our challenge, and of course giving a huge thank you and word of mouth advertisement to the course we have chosen to play the 72 holes on. We would really love to play on your golf course, so we are hoping you will help us get tee times across the day on Saturday the 19th of December


We are personally attempting to do four rounds in one day because we have both lost family members to cancer and it affects most New Zealanders in one way or another.


How can you help?

  1. Kindly let us know you’re happy for us to take on the challenge at Dannevirke golf club. It would really help if you would consider waiving green fees, and opening a little earlier (first light)
  2. Promote the event – we can provide a poster to pin up to let people know that you are making our fundraising for Cancer Society possible. You could also consider writing about the event in any newsletter or on your social media if you have them.


Our fundraising will help the Cancer Society to ensure no New Zealander goes through cancer alone. They provide specialist nurse visits to patients in their home to offer advice on every aspect of life after a cancer diagnosis. They help patients get to their medical treatments and provide accommodation for those undergoing treatment who live far away from their health provider. They also fund world-class research to prevent and treat the symptoms of cancer and the side effects of cancer treatments and medicine.


We want to help support the Cancer Society to do this vital work, so will you be our club when we take on this epic challenge? Please let us know on calebshuker@gmail.com


Thank you and best wishes,

Caleb and Chris


What a brilliant idea, from two of our youngest members. Caleb & Chris played in the Kitt, Kerr, Hape Simpson Foursomes this year, and are both members of our club. You have our full support, so please send me any updates or requests and I will publish them in our weekly What's On


Good Golfing my friends.

What's On 16th June 2025?

By Bryan Burt - club scribe • June 12, 2025
Saturday June 14th; Wiffin Cup Round 2 matchplay. Duty, Match Bernie, House Basil A subtle reminder from our captains, that some round 1 Wiffin Cup matches are still outstanding. Please get these completed as soon as possible. Please let the person waiting to play the winner know what is happening, so they are aware. Sattrup & Brannigan; The draw is up in the club house. The weather was not that great last Saturday for first round matches, but again please keep in contact with your opponents, and get these games played before round 2 on June 28th. Given we are now in winter conditions, please use metal tracks etc where possible, especially if you are in a cart or on a bike. Skid marks take forever to grow grass in the winter, and your fellow golfers won't be happy playing off the bare dirt. Not a lot to report tonight, so I'll sign off. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe

Dannevirke South School is having a major reunion, and as such we have four groups of 4 playing nine holes at 9am. Please extend a warm welcome to our visitors. Saturday 31st / Sunday 1st June; Sisters Club Inter Club being played at Rarangi (Blenheim) We have a team of 20 heading south for this annual event, which is being played for about the 53rd time? Pine Trees; The Club has 6 plantations of pines which have been there for many years. The original intention being to plant these for harvest, and time has come for this process to begin. In the very near future, there will be felling carried out in three areas. Firstly some pines that need to come down at the back of number 11 green, by the railway, the plantation to the right of 13 (Lands End,) and a couple of pines to the left of number 13, which shade the green during winter. This work will have minimal effect on fairways, as the trees at the back of 11 will be trucked out via the farm, the lands end plantation will go out through the former Ministry of Works yard, the ones to the left of Lands end will go out along the river bank again to the MOW yard. The question of replanting, particularly the right of Lands End will be considered and proposals put to the December 2025 Annual General Meeting. All tree felling will be done early in the morning, and only trimming and log removal will carry on during the day. Please, If any area is fenced off, and No Entry signs are in place, then they are there for yours and the contractors safety. Such areas are not a recommendation, they are a rule, and any members seen entering these areas will be severely spoken too ! Another big weekend for Dannevirke mens golf. On behalf of our members, best wishes to our Coronation Cup team. Good Golfing,👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
