More than 100 friends, family members and fellow police officers gathered at Warkworth Golf Club on Sunday, March 13 to play the first Matt Hunt Memorial Golf Tournament.
Thirty three teams took to the course in memory of the young Police Constable, who was killed while on duty in June, 2020, and $2500 was raised for emergency service workers support charity Pilgrim Bandits.
The day was organised by Matt’s friends Michael Campbell and Shane MacLennan, who said golf was a game Matt loved so it was a good way for friends and colleagues to come together and celebrate his life. Matt’s mother Diane, who lives in Warkworth, also attended the event, which was held in perfect weather at the Matakana Road course.
The Ambrose tournament was won by the Shankapotamus team – Kane Earl-Peacock, Hannah Jamieson and Chris Coote – whose members also won a nearest-the-pin playoff prize.
Michael Campbell said afterwards it had been a great day and the tournament would definitely be held again next year.
