There was only one hole in one scored at the recently held NZ Golf Open and two Raglan golfers were marshalling at that hole! The second hole,180m, par 3.
“I was at the green when Karl Lily, an amateur, teed off. The ball sailed into the air, gaining height, landing in the hole, on the full! It was unbelievable,” reported an excited Robyn and Peter Aim.
Working as volunteers with 500 other like minded people our duties were to keep the public quiet at tee time and putting time by holding up signs saying QUIET PLEASE! The volunteers carried out a myriad of duties which meant the smooth running of the event.
The Open was held at the luxurious Millbrook Golf course incorporating the Remarkables and Coronet courses. This year’s winner Takahiro Hataji from Japan was photographed with the volunteers as seen in the photo above.
