What an absolutely epic day out at the UCom Golf Day 🏌️⛳️

Sun, banter, some questionable swings and a day that came right down to the wire. Closest to the pin decided it in the end. Couldn’t have scripted it better.

A huge thank you to Huffer Golf for the epic prizes. The winners are very happy campers.

And to all our sponsors, none of this would have been possible without your generosity: Steinlager , Craigs Investment Partners , forsythbarr, Scenic Hotel Group , Baker Tilly Staples Rodway , ey_newzealand , Naylor Love , NOVUS Glass New Zealand and Pencarrow private equity.

Big thanks to Jem A-G (commotionstudio) for capturing the day. The footage speaks for itself.

Thanks to the team at Russley Golf Club for having us and keeping the course in mint condition, and to everyone who came along and made it what it was.

Already looking forward to the next one 👀

Cheers,
UCom
