Growing Long Drive In The Community

(International Top 7 - Long Drivers at Hobsonville Point Secondary School

IGANZ has been investing in the sport of Long Drive since 2016. The mission for Director of IGANZ, Olna Ford was to educate people on the sport whilst promoting the players commercially and building competition with events. The International Top 7 seen here at Hobsonville Point Secondary School left an everlasting impression with the students with a meet and greet that was organised with the first International Invitational, November 2016. Fast track to 2020 and IGANZ has completed 26 events in 5 countries, formed the National Team (New Zealand Long Blacks) and created sports history for New Zealand. During the pandemic the efforts and investment of Olna Ford have been recognised and commended with the title of National Sports Organisation for the sport of Long Drive (amatuer league) and Xtreme Drivers League (XDL - Professional League). IGANZ group has formed New Zealand Long Drive to care for the growth of the sport nationwide. The plan is to implement the sport in every region, and adapt the promotion of the sport with inhouse products and services that will be manufactured in New Zealand to promote local as much as possible. Getting into the community and increasing participation of Long Drive is at the forefront of New Zealand Long Drives plans for 2022.
