Rotorua Boys High School Golf Team Trail at the Taupo Golf Club

This was our third trail and all golfers were to be tested today in very warm conditions. The Taupo was golf course was in brilliant condition with the greens being near perfect and running at around 10 on the stimp meter.

I had the pleasure of playing with Will Song who played some great golf but just had a little trouble scoring on a course he had never played before, William Howard played solid golf but just could not get the puts to drop, Piki Skerrett played himself into contension with a solid round and Tekotuku TeAute continues to be Mr consistency and Luke Robinson is still in the mix.

Biggest Sporting Influence – My Dad, Ned Howard
Most Memorable Sporting Moment – Winning the 2010 Super 8 title/selection into the New Zealand Golf development academy/ Hole in one at my home course.
Why do you play golf – because it’s the greatest game in the world, it is very demanding physically, mentally and tactically. You make great life long friends and this game teaches you so many life skills, like integrity, honesty, emotional control, time management and manners.
