RANGATAHI GOLF IS ALL THE GO AT HUNTLY GOLF CLUB

RANGATAHI GOLF IS ALL THE GO AT HUNTLY GOLF CLUB Over the final week of April Huntly Golf Club hosted two golf tournaments as part of its commitment to developing junior golf in the North Waikato Region. On Sunday 24th the Waikato Futures held their first post COVID event that was well attended by rangatahi from across the Waikato region. WGA’s Stephen Sandford oversaw a successful 18 hole Strokeplay Tournament run for experienced junior golfers and a 9 hole Ambrose Teams event for the lesser experienced and younger golfers. Then on Friday 29th Te Ahurei A Rangatahi hosted a nine hole tournament for around 30 local Huntly and surrounding region kids. Winner on the day was Huntly’s Charlie Heta Jnr who shot a gross of 39 for a four under par net 31 score. Second equal were Ngaruawahia’s Ola Palamo and Huntly’s Tau Hetet-Wairau both with one under par 34 net scores. It was a full on exciting day for the kids and their parents, with a Maori Television crew present to film the days events. It will surely not be the last time many of these talented kids feature in video footage. The published event video filmed by Te Ao Maori News, can be found online at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agFWukPGc_4&t=171s.
