Napier Golf Club

After a 1 hour 30 minute drive from Taupo we managed to make an early afternoon tee time at NAPIER GOLF CLUB. With a course rating of well below our home club of Gulf Harbour this should be a doddle? Right! Wrong.

Oh how I struggled around the first nine. JT was 4 up at the turn.

C'MON! get a grip!

These are the challenges that make golf the ultimate sport.

By 17 we were all square. The 18th is a hard, long par 4 and we both have our 2nd just off the green. We both chip 2 metres short of the hole and both just miss par putts. EVEN: a good result for the day


Above: JT off the 18th tee. Below pitching to the green for 3: and putting for par, but missing by a snitch to tie the game.
