Golf Open Review

NZISA held our Golf Open on Friday 26th March 2021. The event was hosted by the Auckland Indian Sports Club (AISC) at the Huapai Golf Club. This event was originally planned for 2020 but was postponed due to Covid-19.

There were 46 registered players for the day. Each player received a player’s pack upon registration and were briefed on the days format at 11.25am. A shot gun start was scheduled for 12.00pm.

Two of the holes were maned by youth who were fundraising for an upcoming youth tour to the South Island. These holes offered challenges for the players. During the afternoon food and refreshments were carted to players. 19 holes were played given one was a fun challenge hole as directed by the kids. Play was completed by 5.00pm which was followed by food and drinks in the clubhouse. Serving platters were allocated to each playing team, followed by prizegiving.
