What's on this week at the club 13/11/2020

Bryan Burt - Club scribe • November 12, 2020

Results;  From last Saturday hosting Feilding for our annual inter club. Unfortunately the Chadwick Trophy returned to Feilding with their 19 player aggregate being 33, versus Dannevirke's 32 aggregate 31.64. Brendon & Wendy Poole came over and played for Feilding, and both played very well, we could have done with their scores!

Sunday, sadly only three pairs turned out for the mixed foursomes, but in true club spirit, they went ahead with it, albeit only playing 18 holes because of the rain that came in around lunch time. Winners Rodney Henricksen and Marilyn Hall

 

Saturday 14th November / Sunday 15th November; Greenwood Cup Rounds 4-8 Maraenui Golf Club at home, Card draw 11.30am

 

Saturday 21st November, Closing day, commencing with card draw at 11.30am

Trophy presentations 4.30, BBQ 5pm. Wives, husbands and partners welcome.

 

Saturday 28th / Sunday 29th November;  Final GHB Coronation Cup being hosted at Dannevirke.  Yet to be confirmed, but I believe they play 36 holes Saturday and 18 early Sunday. Captain Mike has requested assistance with catering and bar duties both days please. We need to supply lunch Saturday for 48 players plus caddies and officials, so around 60 people, plus some form of flight lunch Sunday following the 18 holes of play. Mike has enough to do without being the catering manager so please offers of help will be gratefully received.

Managing Licensed Premises

 

Tararua REAP is hosting the above course on Saturday 28 November, covers such things as Managing Licensed Premises, Host Responsibilities and learning and demonstrating a knowledge of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012. This will lead to obtaining a Managers Certificate. Ideally the Club could do with 2 or 3 people with a Managers Certificate, particularly when we host private functions. For further information contact Stephen Paewai 021 1658685 Thanks Stephen

 

Best of luck to our Greenwood team this weekend, as they play the final four rounds of this years competition. Closing day, is an often asked for, but previously poorly supported event. Mike has had all the trophies engraved, so asks that our members get behind the idea of a prize giving, and stay around to receive their respective cups, plus share a Club BBQ. As mentioned above spouses are also welcome.

The Coronation Cup finals are a Club hosting event, not just a Club Captain hosting event.  While there should be personnel from GHB to record scores etc., they like to get out on Course and watch play, so we need starters, office people to record results as they come off the course, plus caterers. I'm sure Mike would be more than happy if someone said they would take on the chief cook and bottle washing job, but I will leave those offers up to you as members to take directly to Mike.

 

Unless someone else is inclined to write What's On next week, it will be taking a break, as scribe has a busy week playing The Hills, Wednesday Millbrook Thursday and Arrowtown Friday. Also meeting up with Sir Bob Charles, who is drawn in Max Charmleys Four at The Hills. Looking forward to the scenery and parting company with some golf balls  .

 

Good Golfing folks.

" Kia ora e te whānau, our golf tournament last weekend was awesome, with 105 golfers turning up to support our school and try their luck at winning $20 000! Unfortunately, no one was able to ‘sink a hole in one’ and win the money. A big thank you to Mr Amrit Pasad and all the staff and students who helped to make this event a success. We would also like to thank the Dannevirke Golf Course, our generous sponsors and our community for entering the tournament and participating in the fundraising activities held on the day. All profits of this event will go towards our students’ sports travel." Special General Meeting; Thank you to the 55 members who turned out Monday night for the purpose of " Setting the annual member subscription fees for the 2026 / 2027 year. " The conclusion being the annual subscriptions for 2026 / 2027 is $665 for full playing members. The Management Committee acknowledges their error in not advertising this as an Agenda item at the AGM in December. Matter sorted, repeat of error to be avoided, move on. We are in the thick of Match Play golf with GHB Pennants and now Club Champs, and in April, the Coronation Cup. I hope all participants enjoy the experience. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
