Driving, Putting and Chipping away on a Wednesday!

Driving, Putting and Chipping away on a Wednesday!

Year 7 to 10 got a taste of golf at Owaka Golf Club as part of the Tony Tourell Golf Programme.

The 2024 Tony Tourell Golf Program is in full swing! It kicked off with Lawrence and Milton on the same day, followed by Tapanui, Clinton and Balclutha. This Wednesday was our turn! This is a free event offered to our akonga, to teach the skills needed to be a social or pro golfer.

Despite the wet conditions underfoot, the children got out there in their teams of 4 and had a fun morning. The golf course is free to all the children and they have spare clubs available, don’t forget that for when the kids are ever looking for something to do in the holidays!

A huge thank you to all the parents, helpers, the Owaka golf club members, and Murray Nyon, Mahal Pearce and Parker Alusei from Golf Otago. We couldn’t do it without you all!
