My Holiday

In the Easter holidays I played golf for the bay of plenty under eighteen team in Taupo. There were four teams involved in the tournament, Bay of plenty, Waikato, Manawatu and Hawke’s Bay. It was a fifty four hole event and was played for a prestigious shield and bragging rights. Each team had ten players and the competition was match play.

The first day was terrible, there was not a bare patch of sky, rain thundered down on us and it was cold. If the rain and the cold wasn’t enough there was also a howling gale.

The first team we played against was Waikato; our team lost the game six and four which meant we needed to win our next two games to have a chance at winning the shield.

We spent the night at the Taupo top ten holiday park. They had a lot of things to do with heated pool life size chess and a games room. When I got to my I found it was the only room without a heater so it was really freezing in there.

The next day we played Manawatu and Hawke’s Bay. I won both of my matches and had a good time.
