PROMISING GOLFER
15 year old Tracey Gray from Tokomaru Bay travels daily to Ngata College (in Ruatoria) past the Te Puia Springs Golfcourse where she is a member and does the handicap cards. It was natural for her to developed an interest in the game at an early age by collecting golf balls hit at home by her parents, both golfers. Later she began to play "whack and chase" on the farm. Now with 2 years of "proper" playing on a golfcourse, with a 20 handicap, she has attracted the attention of Auckland Pro Jamie Kupa and is in the MaxFlite Maori Golf Development Squad.
