Golf the Kiwi Way

Yesterday Bec and I played the course in Beachland called Formosa. It was about a 30 minute drive from the house that took us into a more rural setting just outside Auckland. From the size of some of the homes, this is obviously a retreat for the well to do of the city. Anyway, we have decided that since almost everyone here walks with a "trundler," we will too. So we rented ours and began the trek. What my research of the course had failed to reveal was just how hilly the course was. We did complete the 18 holes in 4:15, but not without feeling some of the pain of a 5 plus mile walk pulling our trundler. Additionally, the course was not as walker friendly as it could have been with distances between green and next tee being somewhat far. The next few pictures are from the course.













When we got home, the wind surfers were out in full force.
