Eagles Golfing Society; Today the HB Eagles Golfing Society, held their annual Halberg Fundraising Tournament at the Napier Golf Course. Conditions and course were excellent, but scoring was not that flash, with both men's groups top scores at 38 Sablefords. A full field of 144 players with the odd scratching, A cheque for $20,000.00 was presented to the Halberg Foundation. taking the total for Hawkes Bay to over $400,000 in the past 41 years. We had three winners in the Cape kidnappers raffle, who will be presented with their prizes next week. A great day, (beats working) but a late start to What's On

 

For the members on the roads this weekend, take care, for those playing in Golf events out of town, best of luck. For the members staying around town for the weekend, head on out to our beautiful course, and make the most of it.

 

Good Golfing one and all.

What's On 12 December 2025?

By Bryan Burt - club scribe • December 12, 2025
Saturday 13th December; Shires Fruit & Vege market sponsored Christmas Cheer. 12 noon Shotgun Start. A draw will be posted on our Facebook page on Friday. As we already have 120 in the field and tees allocated, no further entries will be accepted. Please present early at the office to pay your entry fee of $30 and be at your starting tee ready to go at 12 noon. House Committee; Duty Tony Neilson Bar roster 4 pm Tony, Baz and Scott, 4.45 pm Gillian, Angela and Norm, 5.30 pm Tony and Drum, 6.15 pm Stephen and Depak We’re expecting a full field on Saturday, and committee members will be playing and would like to enjoy the evening with their fellow members so we would like your assistance, please. Ask if you can help, for example, if you are heading downstairs,s take a box of empties and put in the recycling, ask if the chiller needs restocking, pick up empty bottles. These little things would be really appreciated, and we can all enjoy the occasion. With large numbers, we quickly run out of $2 coins, so if you have a pocket full of coins, go to the bar and exchange them for notes. Ma pango ma whero ka oti ai te mahi – many hands make light work! Thanks, Stephen. Annual General Meeting; Last Monday saw a muster of around 40 members attend our AGM. A sign of the times, perhaps, but members don't appear to see the significance of this once-a-year meeting. Decisions are made that carry the Club forward and report on the previous year. The committee nominations all went through, and Bernie Williams has been nominated as a Vice President, following Vaughan Hales' resignation earlier in the year. An increase in Subscriptions was approved, and I will report next week for those paying monthly, fortnightly, and weekly, what changes need to be made to keep you up to date. Carts: The last two of our replacement carts arrived on course today. That gives us a fleet now of 8 new and one older cart. These carts are part of our business growth strategy, as a great deal of visiting green fee players request carts at the same time as they book to play, especially group bookings. This forms part of the package we can offer travelling players. Secondly, for various reasons, younger members who have joined clubs since Covid prefer to play in carts. Greenfees & carts this year brought 87k into our club, compared to 62k the previous year. Having Patrick (Harold Golf) on course potentially captures more green fees and cart hire. Cart for Sale; We have one of our original carts for Sale at $500. Batteries may need replacing. Call Captain Zane or ask Patrick for an inspection when he is on course. Next week's What's On will be the last for the year. Looking forward to Christmas Cheer! Good Golfing'👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe

By Bryan Burt - club scribe • December 4, 2025

Monday 8th December; Annual General Meeting; 7.30 pm at the Clubhouse. The booklet was emailed to you all by Bailey last Monday evening. Saturday 13th December; Shires Fruit & Vege Market sponsored Christmas Cheer Tournament. Our biggest event of the year. If you haven't done so already, please enter your fours on the Entry sheet in the foyer, so a draw can be produced and sent out next Thursday night. Sorry folks, all of our carts have been booked, so no more carts are available. Result : Interclub with Feilding Golf Club last Saturday. For the 7th year in a row, Feilding were the winners on the day. Thank you to the 19 players from Dannevirke who participated. Congratulations to Jacob Stephenson, 75 off the stick and 45 stablefords. Even Jacobs score couldn't lift our average! The rain over the past two days has possibly taken the sting out of the ground, so we may miss the run for a couple of days. Never mind it will be back. Have a great weekend, and see you all on Monday at the AGM. Bryan Burt Club Scribe

What's On 28 November 2025?

By Bryan Burt - club scribe • November 27, 2025
Saturday 29th November; Feilding interclub at Feilding. 11.30 am tee off. Tony Peeti & Eru Hauiti are both taking vans, so there may be rides available. Contact these gentlemen directly, please. Tony's van leaves the golf club at 9.50 am. Saturday 29th November; Club day, 11.30 am card draw. Duty Richie House Basil Sunday 30th November; Pongaroa are hosting their Prize Giving and Christmas Cheer Tournament. I believe it is a 12 noon start for anyone interested in attending Saturday 13th December : Shires Fruit & Vege Market sponsored Christmas Cheer. 12 noon shotgun start, entry sheet in the foyer at the Clubhouse. All carts are booked. Once again, our haggle hole (no. 14) will be manned by the formidable team of Glen McClelland & Marcus Ransom. This team of two has given up their time for the past 7 or 8 years to man the haggle hole and donate their proceeds to worthy causes around our community or club. Thanks also to the ham sponsors for the haggle hole. Originally, Vet Services and PGG Wrightson. Vet Services have continued, and I took over the PGG Wrightson sponsorship some years ago. Maybe a bit damp tomorrow, but the forecast for the weekend is good. We are bearing down on 100 years of inter-club fixtures with Feilding (next couple of years I believe). Maybe we can turn the clock back 100 years and go to Feilding by train or horseback and stay for a week!, Watch this space. Happy 40th for yesterday Captain Zane. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
