Getting Ready to TEE it up with the Local Champs

The impact of the nationwide lockdown is still being felt all around the New Zealand nation with the slow commitment of sponsors taking a toll on sport and events. With this in mind XDL Championships are about to make changes that will open the doors for all athletes to compete. Getting ready to make some more noise XDL and it’s business associates are DRIVING to make a difference. The month of September will announce the Aussie Long Ballers and New Zealand Long Blacks teams for a very special back to back - Trans Tasman Clash, set to take to the skies and the tarmac of Parakai Airport. The North Island Champs (NZ) is teeing up at Pupuke Golf Club in Auckland this October with the winners competing in the South Island Champs with the number-ones (North and South Island Champs) smashing it out for New Zealand title. XDL is celebrating growing the sport of Long Drive and investing over 8 years into the sport with major announcements being made at the tee at the Nationals. For the first time in the global journey, XDL and the International Long Drive Federation will be making changes that will cement the sports future for all generations of Long Drivers, worldwide.

A focus of the Pacific will see the DRIVE to bring players to our shores in Australia, New Zealand and the Islands with the Pacific Rim Series destination set to be revealed later this year. Cool news for our local young aspiring drivers who will be taking to the tee with this November, so stayed tuned for all the announcements.

NEW structure and planned events will benefit more players and open up opportunities never before offered. XDL is gearing up for the biggest year in 2025 which include the construction of XDL Training Venues. Plans earlier this year were disrupted by an opportunity too good to say no to and as the saying goes, the wait will be worth it. The founder of XDL Olna Ford, is celebrating eight years of investing in the sport locally and globally, with thirty-eight events already hosted in eight countries. The biggest purse in Long Drive history has been paid out by Olna which has listed her name in the history books in sport worldwide. Olna is also founder and owner of both the Australian and New Zealand Teams (Aussie Long Ballers & New Zealand Blacks) who are at the heart of all activites. Both nations now recognised on the WORLD stage of sport for creating sports history in Long Drive under leadership of Olna and the XDL brand. Theres much for Olna to be excited about including her 3rd International Business Award being revealed next month. The dedication and investment has been unwavering with her entrepreneurial and innovation skills now recognised. Olna has also been commended by delegates for taking herself frontline during the global pandemic a sliding doors moment that proved her commitment not only to sport, but also to her country.
