Super 8 Golf

The HBHS Golf team left for Gisborne on Sunday, where the boys played nine holes in the warm up round of the 2011 Super 8 Golf competition.  On Monday, in very hot conditions, the boys played thirty six holes.  After the first eighteen, they were one shot behind Rotorua Boys' High, who then pulled away in the afternoon to gain a fourteen shot lead.  Tauranga Boys'  were four shots ahead of HBHS by then end of the day.  Tuesday's round allowed the boys to win back six shots on Rotorua, but they were unable to gain any ground on Tauranga. 

HBHS came third, after three huge days of golf.  Mr Neethling and Mr Jarrett were very pleased with the boys' conduct, and their support of their team mates.  Special mention was made of Denzil Ieremia (Year 11), who shot a 70 (two below par) on the course.
