What's on this week 30/10/2020?
Coring update; The wet week has made coring difficult. Moving wet sand around on the greens is not easy, so the greens will be difficult on Saturday. Understanding by members is required please.

Believe it or not, all four players shot 84 on Saturday. Tony on a 19 handicap, Drummy on 12, Vaughan on 11 and Ridgy on 15. Subsequent to say Tony and his net 65 or 41 points was what did the damage. Congratulations. TP & Drum
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?
- 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)
- 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.
