What's on this week at the Dannevirke Golf Club?
Bryan Burt - Club scribe • July 30, 2020
Saturday August 1st; 11am Card Draw, Presidents Cup or Sattrup & Brannigan matches to continue 11.30am Coronation Cup Saturday Round
Sunday August 2nd; Coronation Cup Round 2 Tee off 8am, Round 3 Tee off 11-30 - 12 noon
Coronation Cup. Zone 3 (Dannevirke, Cape Turnagain, Pongaroa Norsewood)
Unfortunately this year Norsewood is unable to field a team for this delayed competition, so we are playing over the weekend with three teams. Thanks to Stephen Paewai we have devised a scheme whereby a third of each team has a bye so that after two round we still have everyone in suspense as the winner may not be know. Round 1 Saturday, Round 2 Sunday 8am, Round 3 11.30 to 12 noon Sunday. For each round Clubs will have either players 1-4, 5-8, or 9-12 sitting out while the other two clubs square off. Mike is busy writing up the draw, so I will send it tomorrow sometime. With only 24 players on the course for each round, there is ample space for members, but please Coronation Cup matches have right of way.
Team Members, can you please bring a plate for a meal to be served after golf Sunday. Mike is doing a large mince dish, so savoury, salads, garlic bread, cooked chickens etc appreciated . Playing uniform is Club shirts please.
Congratulations and best wishes to the team named below in playing order,
1 Willy Veitch
2 Craig Evans
3 Richie Gray
4 Vaughan Hales
5 Ray Ward
6 Zane Gregory
7 Bill Newland
8 Richard Howearth
9 Adam Webster
10 Jamie Middlemiss
11 Trevor de la Harpe
12 Stephen Paewai
Reserves; Bazil Mott & Mike Matthews
(See draw below)
Club member support would be much appreciated by the team, as we only get to host this once every four years, so " Go Dannevirke"
Golf HB AGM; Held Thursday 30th July at Napier Golf Club. Unfortunately I didn't get to the meeting, as I was turned around just past the Takapau cemetery, but before the Highway 50 turnoff because of a major accident. I whipped back to Wheneahou Road, but a truck and trailer unit was causing problems there, so I gave up and returned home. I will report back next week if I receive information from AJ (Association administrator)
All the best for anyone playing matches this weekend, but most of all the Coronation Cup team.
Good Golfing

" 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
