The Primary & Intermediate Schools Golf Competition was held on the 8th of November at the Ngahinepouri Golf Club in stunning conditions.

Over 40 Primary and intermediate students took part across three divisions. Players played either, a full 9 holes, a shortened 9 holes or a team ambrose event held over a shortened 5 hole course. 

The Division 1 full 9 hole competition was a closely fought affair, with Suwanna McPhee, Ben Ambler and Heart Iadpluem all carding a 5 over par 41 to force a 3 way playoff. Ben Ambler stepped up when it mattered most and sunk a 20ft putt from just off the green to take first place and win back-to-back Primary & Intermediate School titles.

It took another playoff to determine a winner in the Division 2 9 hole shortened course competition. Both Arin McPhee and Waatea Waudby shot rounds of 38. In the playoff hole Waatea held his nerve sinking a 10ft putt for par to take 1st place.

The Division 3 ambrose teams event was more straight forward with the St Peters Cambridge team of Hamish French, Mac Cutler, Thomas Ren and Vinnie Falconer taking out first place by 2 shots with a Nett score of 16.
