Backpacking and golfing in New Zealand
Canadian golfer, Rod Hughes is passionate about golfing in New Zealand. His three-week holiday earlier this year was his second trip to this “Dream Destination.”
With a backpack slung over his shoulder and a choice selection of golf clubs in a new, lighter-weight bag, Rod pitched his gear aboard his favourite Magic Bus to tour both North and South Islands. Determined to golf as many courses as possible, the account of his trip is not only entertaining but often just plain hilarious.
