Mangawhai resident Zac Roberts teamed up with two mates from Auckland to play every mini golf course in New Zealand and raise funds for mental health.
Zac and friends John Middleton and Kyle Sutcliffe missed playing mini-golf over lockdown and decided to make up for it with a trip playing courses around the country.
The boys said it was hard work, playing eight courses in a day between 7.30am and 9.30pm, all while documenting their progress on social media and doing media interviews.
Some games in the South Island were played in freezing temperatures, and they had to play in the nude at a naturist course in the Bay of Plenty.
The Red Barn mini-golf course in Matakana opened its doors especially for the boys to be able to tick it off their list.
The boys originally hoped to raise $1000 but with all the excitement they managed to generate, they ended up donating $7000 to the Mental Health Foundation.
