Two Coast accountants, Jason Tudor and Brodie Hunt, are making a name for themselves, having won or placed second in three recent charity golf tournaments.
Although neither are members of a golf club, and Brodie only recently started getting a handicap again, the pair enter the tournaments to support various good causes, and “for a day off work”.
Their success surprised them. Jason, 50, says his sport is stand up paddleboarding, although before a tournament he goes to a driving range or maybe does a practice round.
Brodie, 40, played golf a lot when he was younger and in the last 12 months he has played a bit more.
Players are put in teams with people you may not have met before, and Brody and Jason also play some charity tournaments with Jason’s son, Troy.
“Because you play as a team, you don’t have to be brilliant yourself,” Jason says. “What it comes down to is we work well together – particularly when putting, and knowing the lines we want to hit.”
“Turn up and have a good putting day is key,” says Brodie.
Both encourage anyone to take part in charity golf events, regardless of their skill level.
“The majority are novices, and adjustments are made for those with handicaps so it’s a level playing field,” Jason says.
