Amateur golfers take the limelight

Ambrose Golf has launched the New Zealand Ambrose Golf Cup (NZAGC) to celebrate everyday amateur golfers across the country.

The nationwide contest has four players per team. There will be 36 teams per round, and the top three earn a spot at the grand finale at the Windross Farm Golf Course in Ardmore – considered one of the country’s top golfing courses.

Teams only need to play one qualifying event to qualify, and the top three teams from each round will advance to the finals.

The championship will be played out over 13 courses (including the grand final round in Windross Farm Golf Course), with the Pukekohe Golf Course round held on December 21.

Finalists will be given flights and two nights’ accommodation at the Hilton Doubletree in Karaka and attend a dinner. Players have the chance to win four brand new Yamaha golf carts and be crowned the NZ Ambrose Golf Cup Champions.

The competition is an amateur-only event, and players are required to have a maximum 24 handicap.

The team sign-up fee is $800 per team. This covers entry for all players and includes events like a barbecue and prizes for each round.

The tournament started on October 26 at the Howick Golf Club.

The tournament will be played in Stableford Ambrose format, and the final held at Windross Farm Golf Course on February 22.
