Lee Poolton is more used to digging holes than hitting golf balls into holes, but he couldn’t refuse the challenge of driving a golf ball off the newly graded 13th tee last Thursday, up at the Raglan Golf Club.
Lee, who is employed by Raglan Excavations, has been supporting the Raglan Golf Club for many years by either providing truck loads of dirt or digger hours around the course. Along with Rangitahi developments who provide the dirt its a very positive outcome for the Raglan Golf Club.
Course Convenor, Gordon Jowsey was most complimentary towards these Raglan businesses saying the club’s future development relies heavily on supportive volunteers and that these two enterprises as well as others, have made a huge impact on the course improvements.
“We are a small club, money is very tight so an offer such as this is of great benefit for us,”said Gordon.
By the way, Lee’s ball went out of bounds – better luck next time Lee!
