Camera's Roll at Akarana

Posted on Mon., Dec. 14, 2009

Keep an eye on your TV over January for the adverts for next years NZ Open at "The Hills" in Queenstown. You may recognise a familiar face and a nice part of the course. Last Thursday Michael Hill spent the morning at the Club filming short clips to promote the Open. The adverts will also feature Akarana's own Henry Vaeoso (an inside source tells me the ladies only know him as hunky Henry!).

Michael was amazed with the condition of our "Poa Annua"greens which he said was a grass he tries to keep out of his greens and could not believe how busy our course can be and still look very well maintained. 

I can't give the story away but the commercials looked very funny being filmed and a sure to bring a wee smile to your face in the New Year.
