Handicap 3: Maraenui

Marae Tournament:  

Thanks to all those that participated, there were 55 in the field. Congratulations to Dipak Makan shot an 85 for 49 stableford points to win the Dave Barber Memorial Cup.
Saturday 29 February, Adam Webster is getting married with the wedding ceremony and reception at the Golf Club, so the upstairs lounge will be closed Friday and Saturday, so golfers please drink downstairs. The No. 9 tee will be closed from 2 pm on Saturday so no one is to start on No. 10 tee, so no one finishes on No. 9. Starting tees will be Nos 1, 5 and 16. Thanks for your co operation. This is the last confirmed booking for the year so if anyone knows of someone looking for a venue for a birthday, wedding, staff training event or a seminar please tell them of the golf club. Last year the club’s net bar takings were up 42%, almost all of which is attributable to the venue hire, so a good source of revenue for the Golf Club.
Regards

Battle Of The Saddle (Played last Saturday) Report from Craig Nash

On a beautiful day in Palmy last Saturday, Dannevirke challenged for the battle of the Saddle trophy. Led gallantly by ‘back of steel’ Dippy and bolstered (or weighed down) by us ‘more mature’ multi members and Super Sub Ewan Westergaard, we went done narrowly to Manawatu 7.5 to 5.5.


Good performances from Ewan and Pat Harold with two wins each, Surfie a victory and Greg ‘Top Flight’ Vigers a half on the day. The precocious young punks who dismembered Chris Edsall and myself, obviously were never taught to respect their elders and wont be picked again while I’m in charge…….. Missing in action was Hamish (who missed a great chance to test his marriage early), Brad Adonis Truesdale (who was last seen flouncing around in the bay with his new squeeze) and Clay (gone fishing) Lochead who figured a day up to his chest in fish guts was more appealing that being with us…..unbelievable, but then you all know his father.


Very enjoyable day with a great bunch of people coming together to play this game we love, was followed by pool, refreshing ales and trash talk that would make Tyson Fury sound angelic. Scheming already underway for next year when we host Manawatu back on our track.

Seniors; 

Next Tuesday 3rd March is the first round of the
Spinley and Pukenui Trays at the Dannevirke Golf Club. As usual the
clubrooms will be open from about 9.45am for morning tea and tee off
will be at 10.30am. New members welcome.
When the prize giving is completed there will be a meeting for
those concerned with the running of the 4 Course Classic.
Cheers
Gus.

Empiraical Stroke Holes. When I didn't have much for this weeks What's On I spoke to Gus Terry to print me the White and Yellow Course Hole Statistics Reports. The four reports show the white Course with the present and Empirical (How they actually play) scores for 0 to 24 Handicaps and 25 to 36 Handicaps and we have repeated the exercise for the Mens Yellow Course 921 cards entered for 0-24 Handicaps and 296 cards for the 25-36 handicap men. This information provides evidence for setting the correct Stroke Holes for the Yellow course for the future, as we are currently using the White course stroke holes on the yellow course. Some interesting reading   

 North Island LVA Golf Tournament: On Staurday a group of 16 heads off with Donald Speedy to the Annual LVA this year in Whangarea. Twelve of the group come from Dannevirke, with the non drinking members listed in brackets. ( ) . Best of luck and have an enjoyable week

That's it for this week folk. Thanks for the contributions, which make life easier to put this newsletter together. 

Good Golfing everyone, and have have great day at the first round of pennants.
