Our team of Hamish Scarsbrook, Alex Kelliher, Joshua Ackerley, George Gallichan and Callum Patrick played in the 2018 South Island Under 19 interprovincials at Templeton Golf Club from 24 to 27 April.
All performed well, playing around their individual handicaps. Best individual was Hamish Scarsbrook.
The team overall were placed in the final position but with 4 of the teams on relatively high handicaps in comparison to other teams ( Otago,Canterbury, Southland and Tasman).
It was a great team of boys and Aorangi Golf can be very proud of not only their on course attitude but their determination to play as well as...

13 year old Alex Kelliher a 7 handicapper from Pleasant Point achieved what most golfers dream of yesterday. He was competing in the Canterbury Age Group Championships at Clearwater when he holed out for a hole in one at the difficult 149 metre, par 3 fourth hole using a 5 iron. With rounds of 84 and 85 off the blue championship tees at Clearwater it was a memorable day all round for Alex.

Our last day of round robin matches. A bye this morning then we played a strong host team Northland. It wasn't looking good after 9 but the boys dug in and put the pressure on. Jordan Green came from 4 down at 9 to win 1 up. An awesome chip in by the birthday boy. Regan was 2 down at 9 and halved his match. Captain Dan won 2/1. The match was halved 2.5 each. Effectively we knocked Northland out of the semis.
An awesome result this week by a great bunch of guys. 3 wins 13.5 games. Where we are...

Greetings again from Mangawhai. Today was finals day. It was another fine sunny day with a North Easterly wind.
The semi finals were:
Auckland v Hawkes BayNorth Harbour v Waikato
Auckland and North Harbour were winners creating a battle of the Harbour Bridge.
It was a very even final but in the end North Harbour came away with the win.
Our team that was 15th last year ended up in 9th position which was very credible indeed.
A great result for Aorangi Golf. Well done boys, it was a pleasure managing you all. The attached photo is with the team holding the Toro chipping trophy that...
