Four local golfers have secured entries in the ‘Craigs Investment Partners Road to the Open competition’ which will see a money can’t buy Pro-Am spot in the New Zealand Open up for grabs.

David Littlewood, Mark Tingey, Guy Pearless and David Hill are in the draw to win one of two major prizes at the 2024 New Zealand Open: Entry in the Pro-Am Division (open to players with a handicap of 20 or less); or Experience the New Zealand Open.

Both prizes include travel, accommodation, and hosting in the Champions Lounge for four days.

The local men earned entry by competing in the Craigs Investment Partners Tauranga Charity Golf Day on November 20, an event held in partnership with Te Puke Golf Club to raise funds for the Craigs Community Fund.

“Craigs is passionate about supporting our local communities through the Craigs Community Fund, which was established to enable sustainable and continuous giving to local charities well into the future,” says Craigs Investment Partners general manager Hayley Nelson.

“We chose the fun and forgiving ambrose format. Despite the early rain, it was a successful day with a more than $3,000 funds raised,” said Hayley Nelson, Craigs Investment Partners General Manager.
