My last shot of the 1st Day - The Par 3 7th, over the pond, viewed from the 6th green.
What a difference to last year. The tournament is casual, unassuming, like NZ Opens have been.
Get there if you can and enjoy getting close to the players and the course, see
the shots, the putts, and a great golf course prepared to its best.
This is the best line up of top New Zealand players we have had the privilege to see in competition.
Make sure you take advantage of it . . .

I did get the shot of him picking the ball out of the hole. GREAT GOLF SHOT !!
