Even though the weather didn’t quite cooperate, the Wellington Electrical Golf Trades Tournament on Friday, 13th September at Te Marua Golf Club was a fantastic and memorable event. We had 48 individual players and 19 Ambrose teams join us, and everyone kept their spirits high despite the rain. The scoring was strong, and the day turned out to be a great success!

Even though it rained all day, enthusiasm never wavered.
The energy was up, and the golf was entertaining from start to finish. The vibe on the course remained lively and engaging, proving that a little rain couldn’t dampen our spirits.
It was great to have National President Jamie Dempster join us for the day. He’s always welcome in Wellington, provided he returns to Auckland.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the green staff and catering team at Te Marua Golf Club. The course remained in excellent condition and the food and service were of the highest standard.
We’d also like to extend a big thank you to our sponsors. Their generous support made the event possible, and we’re thrilled to have had 18 hole sponsors this year.
