Meet the Caddies Function
The inaugural Australia v New Zealand Seniors Team Challenge got off to a great start on the evening of Monday Tuesday July 9 with a "Meet Your Caddie" evening at the Sanctuary Cove Golf Club.

Sanctuary Cove members had voluteered for the caddyng positions and the tournament organising committee had carefully selected experienced and knowledgeable golfers and members for each national player.

To give the visiting Kiwi golfers every opportunity they had selected 12 New Zealand born members to serve as caddies for the visiting team.

The following day a full round of practice with the caddie and player paired together was arranged. This allowed players and caddies to fully understand the player's strengths, distances and "special mannerisms".

Every volunteer caddie approached this practice round with the same attitude as you would expect from a professional caddie and right from the start all players knew that this was to be a special tournament!
