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.

Contributions:
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
Seniors Gus Terry,
Central and Southern Hawkes Bay Seniors Golf.
A reminder to everyone that Opening Day will be at

for morning tea from about 9.45am and tee off will follow at 10.30.
Dannevirke players meet at the Hub car park at 9am.
Cheers

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

Preliminary work is underway for this tournament. Dates yet to be confirmed, but it looks like the Wellington Anniversary Weekend in January, starting on Friday, and concluding on Sunday. Presidents Cup Final: t o be contested between Timmy Bell and Denzil Treacy Junior. Sattrup & Brannigan, 2025 winners Mark Rosocaker & Chappy Maniapoto. Congratulations guys. Ladies Shoot Out; Completed today with Margaret Treacy winning from Margaret Stephenson. Another great day from all accounts. On Course Tee Signs: A big shout-out to our tee sponsors for their continued support of our Club. With business changes, we have 5 tee signs available for advertising your business. If any member wishes to take up one of these signs, please contact our Secretary Bailey Harold at dannevirkegolf@xtra.co.nz. Annual General Meeting; Monday 8th December. Another call please, for members to consider putting themselves forward for nomination to the various committees. Our thanks to Bailey for her work to date on the new constitution. Every Club in NZ has to update their Constitution before the end of April 2026, so we can continue to apply for Charity funding etc. Golf NZ produced a template, and we are just adding the final touches for our Club. This will need to be adopted at the AGM. At this point, we have not had any major damage on our course with the wind, but today is going to be another windy one. Fingers crossed, we get through unscathed, and the wind settles for a fine weekend with ample opportunity to play some golf. Best wishes to all who are traveling this weekend for tournaments or other golfing adventures. Travel safely and play well. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe

Greenwood Cup Rounds 1-3; Conditions at Waipukurau Golf Club were very pleasant for two rounds of golf Saturday and one Sunday. The rough at Waipukurau has for years has been dense clover and still is, which can be deceiving, as the ball looks ok, but the clover can be difficult to hit from. Saturday morning the team played Karamu having a 7 to 3 win, followed in the afternoon with an 8.5 to 1.5 win against Central Hawkes Bay. Sunday morning we came up against the first of the city Clubs Napier, and were defeated 7 to 3. Two matches concluded with draws on the 18th, and 3 finished on the 17th, so it wasn't all bad. The current standings are Hastings first on 6 points with 27.5 games, Onga Onga second also on 6 points and 23 games, Napier third with 4 points and 20 games, with Dannevirke fourth on 4 points and 18.5 games. Looking forward to the final four rounds at Hastings Golf Club on November 15th & 16th . Annual General Meeting; Monday 8th December at 7.30pm. A reminder to Committee chairman and others to have your reports to Gail by next weekend (Labour Weekend) for the Annual Report. With daylight saving now in progress, encourage any friends or relatives that are keen to maybe consider a Summer Subscription. (Runs the duration of daylight saving) For membership forms see Patrick at Harold Golf Shop, or email Bailey at dannevirkegolf@xtra.co.nz . If your game is off colour at present, again see Patrick for a lesson. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe

Good luck also to Margaret & Angela, Sue & Margaret, finishing off your Championship matches. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
