FORMER New Zealand Warriors captain Steve Price will tell you he's not much of a golfer.

That was evident when he said "be the ball" to one of the golfers lining up a shot on the No.6 tee at Rotorua Golf Club yesterday.

Price was the main drawcard at the annual Holland Beckett Rotorua Chamber of Commerce Golf Day - running an activity at one of the holes while meeting the players taking part. He also gave a talk about some of his experiences as a rugby league player after the golfing event.

Each year, Rotorua Chamber of Commerce invite a famous sports person along to their golfing event to attract more teams.

Last year, world-famous caddy Steve Williams was on hand to give some golf tips and this year Price was the big name taking part.

"I only found out this morning they had Steve Williams last year, I was like 'why have you got me here, I'm a league player not a golfer'," Price said with a laugh.

"But today has been good. I've been meeting all the players and the guys that come through this hole can donate some money to Child Cancer.

"And, if they get within a certain area on the green, they go in the draw to win a signed Warriors jersey or footy."

He said, up until a couple of years ago, he was an ambassador with the Child Cancer Foundation, and was happy to be able to support the charity again at this event.

About 20 groups of four took part in the golf day at Rotorua Golf Club.

"It's a great chance to get out on the golf course and, of course, a chance to network and do a bit of business and enjoy the day," Rotorua Chamber of Commerce chief executive Darrin Walsh said.

Price, now 42, started his first-grade career in 1994 with the Canterbury Bulldogs before moving to the Warriors in 2005, where he finished his NRL career.

He played over 300 first-grade games and also represented Queensland 28 times and notched up 16 caps for Australia.
