The Inaugural WGHS Golf Day!

On a sunny Friday in early November, the Westlake Girls 9-Hole Golf Tournament took place at the Pupuke Golf Club.  Over twenty teams entered to play (although, unfortunately, some couldn’t make it on the day).

Teams of four competed in  the popular Ambrose format on either the front or back nine holes. Each course had competitions for ‘Closest to the Pin’, ‘Longest Drive’, ‘Best Dressed’, and ‘Winning Teams.

“What a day we all had at the WGHS Inaugural Golf Day. It was so well organised – loved the drinks and nibbles and the party holes. We have never laughed so much. We will be definitely entering a team next year. We will be back to defend our title in 2025”. – Debs, Laura, Tehere and Toni, the absolute dream team, ‘RSM Team’.

A few companies provided participants with activations on their respective holes. The team from Tuckr provided us with delicious food and refreshments, and Edgecity Builders and Hillside ITM provided giveaways, food, and refreshments, as well as the chance to swing a hammer. ActiveVision entertained their guests with music, food, refreshments, and the opportunity to sit on their beanbags. They also generously donated a 50-inch flat-screen Sony Bravia TV as a prize for all competing players in attendance.

Volvo North Shore gave all participants the opportunity to win one of their cars for the weekend if they could achieve a hole-in-one on two holes.

Laura McGoldrick was our fabulous MC for the day. She also played in the tournament and was a member of one of the winning teams, ‘RSM.’

The funds raised will support our Empowerment Fund, creating opportunities for Westlake students and contributing to creating sculptural artwork for the currently- under-completion Whare Wānanga.

We are extremely grateful to Laura and all our wonderful participants. Thank you so much for your time, generosity, and great cheer. It was a superb day, and many people are already asking where to sign up for next time – watch this space!

Winning Teams were:

Front 9, The Birdies, Back 9, RSM, Best Dressed Team, Westlake Boys High School.

A HUGE thank you to our supporters!
