My first time repping the Bay of Plenty at the Boys Development Quadrangular.
Our team had some great battles in tough conditions. The camaraderie and the opportunity to compete at rep level was a highlight for us all. Congrats to Auckland, with the shield staying with them this year.

Proud to secure the Tauranga Senior Men’s Club Champs Strokeplay title 🏆
It was my first tournament with the new Wilson Staff Model XB irons in play - clean look, great feel, and a ball flight I’m really loving.
Huge thanks to @mattblackbournnz for the precision fitting.
Grateful for the support from @wilsonsportsnz@haydenbeardgolf@theclubroomgolf #NXTGENGolfNZ #wilson #wilsongolf
Lately on the course ⛳️
* A privilege to learn from experienced players in the Champs Pennants team and play alongside my dad
* 2nd Gross in Div 1 (72) at the Tauranga Futures Open
* Three steady rounds in the TGC Senior Men’s Club Champs Strokeplay (71, 76, 74) with the final round this Saturday.
Always lots to learn, but loving the game and the friendships that come with it.

13 today. Reflection & gratitude as Elijah enters his teen years.
This incredibly frustrating yet beautifully rewarding game has shaped his character on & off the course, and watching that unfold has been such a gift.
His dreams are BIG, but it’s the journey that makes it all worthwhile.
🖤 Ngā mihi to friends & whānau who cheer him on
🔥 Respect to this solid team who back him & help him grow: @haydenbeardgolf@theclubroomgolf@bradtakai@mattblackbournnz@wilsonsportsnz@wilsongolf #WilsonGolf #NXTGENGolfNZ

Proud to finish first in the U13 Gross at the Auckland AG Champs 🥇
My first time playing in Auckland, and a great chance to test my game on the tree-lined fairways at Pakuranga and the quick, country greens at Helensville.
Highlight: Strong off the tee, hitting 17 greens in regulation at Pakuranga.
Work-on: Putting - the birdies were there but just not dropping.
Excited to return on Friday to watch @chasingthefoxgolf - big mihi to @nzmaorigolf for the invite.
