Macleans College annual Golf Day – a swinging success
Posted on June 11, 2025
The annual Macleans College Golf Day took place on Friday 23 May at the Pakuranga Golf Club. Perfect weather set the stage for an enjoyable day on the course.
Twenty-five teams made up of staff, students, alumni, local business people and school supporters, participated in a memorable day of golf. The event concluded with a lively evening of dinner, awards and camaraderie.
Congratulations to the winners
Prizes were awarded to teams placing up to 15th, thanks to the generosity of event sponsors.
Overall champions:
- Freight Mates, with an outstanding net score of 53.25.
Special achievements:
- Straightest drive: Martine Grey
- Nearest the pin: Jason Lee
Fundraising for a worthy cause
This year’s Golf Day also served a greater purpose - raising funds for the 1st XV rugby team’s upcoming tour to Japan in September. Through entry fees, raffles and silent auctions, the event proved successful both on and off the course.
