Brian McFadden and Keith Duffy not only sing and dance - they are also handy on the golf course.

McFadden, from Westlife, and Duffy, from Boyzone, made the most of Auckland's sunny weather to play a round at Remuera Golf Course today.

Their day on the green came ahead of their Boyzlife tour, which kicks off tomorrow night.

Boyzlife, featuring Westlife's Brian McFadden and Boyzone's Keith Duffy, will take to the stage at Auckland's Bruce Mason centre tomorrow night before moving on to perform in Hamilton, Palmerston North and Christchurch.

The duo will play the biggest hits from their band's repertoires, as well as sharing stories from their journeys to the top of the pop charts.

The pair, who are reportedly good friends, both play off a handicap of 10.

They reportedly threw out a challenge to Jordy and Beuden Barrett but the pair were tied up training with the Hurricanes in Auckland today.

Instead, the pair played with two local golfers.

According to an Auckland woman who witnessed the pair on the green, the stars' matchplay with the two Remuera men was all over by the 17th hole.

McFadden and Duffy reportedly lost to the two locals they were pitted against.

One of the local men told the bystander he was stoked to play with McFadden and Duffy - who he had recognised from Coronation St.

The four men had discussed meeting up for another round of golf, before the first Boyzlife concert tomorrow.

With Westlife, Brian McFadden had 12 UK and Ireland number ones, including a record breaking seven top spots in a row.

The band also boasts four No 1 albums and over 30 million in total record sales. Since then Brian has enjoyed international solo success, including a UK number 1 with Real to Me.

With Boyzone, Keith Duffy has enjoyed similar success, including six UK No 1 singles and 16 out of 17 of their first single releases making the Top 5.

With five No 1 albums also to their credit, Boyzone achieved worldwide sales of over 25 million.
