Golf is not a sport played extensively at New Zealand schools. Quite a number of secondary schools do field golf teams, especially the larger schools. Most students are more interested in team sports, but there are often a few interested students. Here of course the cost of golf clubs and fees for playing restrict interest in the sport. Some private prep schools may introduce the sport to interested students, but it is not very common at that level.
The team played some great golf, with a consistent level of play by all team participants. The team pulled out a great performance with a whitewash over Waikato with an outstanding performance by Captain David Harrison. A great draw and a thriller of a finish at the Tauranga exchange with good performances by Jeff Whiteford and David Harrison. An awesome performance by James Colligan winning both matches. Finally a pleasing 3rd place finish in the Auckland Champs with good consistency shown by all members. James Colligan was first on Stapleford scoring -- a system that takes into account your handicapand gross score. ....
