What's on this week at the Club...1/5/20
Bryan Burt - Club Scribe • April 30, 2020
Great that we are getting some golf played under the Alert level 3 restrictions. Comment from Stephen Paewai follows.
Thoughts are now going to what the balance of 2020 looks like. I will be involved in a Zoom conference of the Golf HB Match Committee on Tuesday night. Subject to what that looks like, we can then decide as a club how we will complete our year. With Coronation Cup due in two weeks it is obvious that won't happen, so the options are cancel for 2020 or reschedule. Any dates GHB consider taking will restrict what we can do. As part of an Association our other 18 and 9 hole Clubs will come with ideas, so lets just wait and see what comes forward, If nothing else, lets hope we agree to a concept on Tuesday so that we can then fill in the days with club competitions etc. This is a first, although our calendar is always built up by starting with GHB date, then putting in our events around them. Having to restart mid ship is different, and challenging, but most importantly not life threatening.
From Stephen;
Alert Level 3.
After 3 days all going well, really appreciate the cooperation of members and the offers to help. We had 24 play on Tuesday, 23 on Wednesday and 24 on Thursday. Starting to get a few names for Saturday including those who are keeping the country running. Please remember you must book in so send me a text on 0211658685 or email me on steveandmoira@xtra.co.nz The course is not open on Monday. We intend to review how things have worked out on Sunday night so Id appreciate any comments you may have about the system we have put in place. Once thanks for your cooperation.
I would like to add the course is in great condition huge thank you to Kierane and AG
From Gus Terry;
Hi Everyone,
At last we can get out and smack a ball around.As you can
imagine our Programme has been thrown right out of whack, but hopefully
we will be on level 2 shortly. Our next 2 scheduled visits were to
Porangahau on May 6th and Palmerston North on May 12th. Neither of these
will take place. The best we can hope for now will be Waipukurau on June
9th And Hawkes Bay on Wednesday June 17th.In the meantime keep within
your bubble.
Cheers
Gus.
Obviously more information to follow in the days ahead, but if you are able, do get out and enjoy our Course in its Autumn glory. 1pm Saturday, thats me, locked and loaded.
Good Golfing

Preliminary work is underway for this tournament. Dates yet to be confirmed, but it looks like the Wellington Anniversary Weekend in January, starting on Friday, and concluding on Sunday. Presidents Cup Final: t o be contested between Timmy Bell and Denzil Treacy Junior. Sattrup & Brannigan, 2025 winners Mark Rosocaker & Chappy Maniapoto. Congratulations guys. Ladies Shoot Out; Completed today with Margaret Treacy winning from Margaret Stephenson. Another great day from all accounts. 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
