Rangatahi who whakapapa to Ngati Whakaue have another opportunity to develop their golf and connect to their whenua -- this time on the Arikikapakapa Golf Course.
As part of the ongoing plan to connect our
people to their whenua, the Pukeroa Oruawhata Trust in conjunction with the Ngati Whakaue Education Endownment Trust Board are delighted to be able to offer four Ngati Whakaue Rangatahi Golf Scholarships.
These new scholarships are available for Ngati Whakaue Rangatahi (aged between 12 and 21). The successful applicants will already be golfers who demonstrate some promise but who may not have the resources/training to assist with progressing their game further to a representative level.
The four scholarships will apply for two years and comprise a package of benefits that will include payment of subscriptions at RGC (to enable the recipient to train and play on Arikikapakapa), specialist NZGA golf lessons/training, and assistance getting to competitions outside Rotorua.
