We are certainly into Summer conditions at the moment. Look at last Saturdays scoring Senior, David Hurrell 41 stb, Craig Evans 40, Willie Veitch 38, Junior Norm Evans 45, Fraancis De Schweitzer 42, Warren Ridge, M B Lilo, and Trevor De laharpe all on 41. For the rest of us scoring between 37 and 40, good work, you are getting a new handicap.
Saturday 1st February, Card draw 11.30am. Please complete first round of summer Cup Matches either this weekend or on Waitangi Day, Round 2 starts next Saturday.

Ladies; Glenys Nicol Ladies Captain,
The ladies have been refurbishing their locker room. Nice and bright and light. Gone is the “hospital green”, in with the” inspirational cream” It is looking great even if it is the wrong colour. Thanks to everyone for their help. Still a work in progress to replace notice boards etc. All welcome to check it out.
At our ladies AGM we have decided this year to trial, combine with the men and have our club champ finals day on the 23rd May. Reason being to return to a “big club day.” So qualifying rounds, quarter and semi finals are scheduled to be completed before that date. Please refer to your program. The men reported better weather and course conditions last year, so hopefully that will continue.
We have also made an executive decision to not proceed with our tournament on 19th March. New World were approached for sponsorship again this year and their response was they would sooner sponsor the club as a whole. Ie Flags. We haven’t persued other sponsors this year. Maybe next year for that.
NZMCA tournament 14th March. Should be a good fundraiser for the club. They, camp, play golf, and the club provide a meal (BBQ) before moving on to Pahiatua on Saturday. Could we have some ladies help with cards on that day please.
Happy, happy golfing. The course is amazing. Glenys

Hire of the Club Lounge
We have 2 weddings booked for February. On Friday 21 February we have a wedding reception for Hamish Prenter and on Saturday 29 February Adam Webster is getting married at the Golf Club. I’ll send out a reminder closer to the time but it does mean the upstairs lounge is not available for a couple of days. These are the only 2 confirmed bookings I have for 2020.
Waitangi Day
On Thursday 6 February there will be a Sister’s Club tournament, tee off 11.00 am, $10.00, Sister’s Club members to bring a prize please.
This year the Sister’s Club tournament is to be hosted by the Rarangi Club in Blenhiem on 30 and 31 May and we are considering playing a couple of other courses in the Malborough area either prior to or following the tournament. So we are trying to raise extra money to keep costs to a minimum thus encouraging as many as possible to make the trip.
Marae tournament
Saturday 22 February is the annual marae tournamet. 11.00 am start $30 entry with great prizes and great food all day. Names on the board please or contact Stephen.
Thanks

Saturday June 14th; Wiffin Cup Round 2 matchplay. Duty, Match Bernie, House Basil A subtle reminder from our captains, that some round 1 Wiffin Cup matches are still outstanding. Please get these completed as soon as possible. Please let the person waiting to play the winner know what is happening, so they are aware. Sattrup & Brannigan; The draw is up in the club house. The weather was not that great last Saturday for first round matches, but again please keep in contact with your opponents, and get these games played before round 2 on June 28th. Given we are now in winter conditions, please use metal tracks etc where possible, especially if you are in a cart or on a bike. Skid marks take forever to grow grass in the winter, and your fellow golfers won't be happy playing off the bare dirt. Not a lot to report tonight, so I'll sign off. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe

Dannevirke South School is having a major reunion, and as such we have four groups of 4 playing nine holes at 9am. Please extend a warm welcome to our visitors. Saturday 31st / Sunday 1st June; Sisters Club Inter Club being played at Rarangi (Blenheim) We have a team of 20 heading south for this annual event, which is being played for about the 53rd time? Pine Trees; The Club has 6 plantations of pines which have been there for many years. The original intention being to plant these for harvest, and time has come for this process to begin. In the very near future, there will be felling carried out in three areas. Firstly some pines that need to come down at the back of number 11 green, by the railway, the plantation to the right of 13 (Lands End,) and a couple of pines to the left of number 13, which shade the green during winter. This work will have minimal effect on fairways, as the trees at the back of 11 will be trucked out via the farm, the lands end plantation will go out through the former Ministry of Works yard, the ones to the left of Lands end will go out along the river bank again to the MOW yard. The question of replanting, particularly the right of Lands End will be considered and proposals put to the December 2025 Annual General Meeting. All tree felling will be done early in the morning, and only trimming and log removal will carry on during the day. Please, If any area is fenced off, and No Entry signs are in place, then they are there for yours and the contractors safety. Such areas are not a recommendation, they are a rule, and any members seen entering these areas will be severely spoken too ! Another big weekend for Dannevirke mens golf. On behalf of our members, best wishes to our Coronation Cup team. Good Golfing,👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
