Take a drive down the fairway

The car’s sirens and lights go off when a ball enters the basket in the top of the car and the ball exits through the exhaust pipe.


Getting a hole-in-one can be a frustrating challenge, so Kaipara Flats School has made things a bit easier for golfers this Father’s Day – they have replaced the hole with a car.

The fundraiser will be held at the school on Sunday, September 6, from 2pm to 4pm.

For $20, people get a gourmet burger, a bucket of balls and an afternoon to bring out the nine-iron and take aim at a car, donated by Warkworth Collision Repairs.

The car has a hole in the roof and the first person to get a ball in the hole will win a prize.

PTA secretary Charlotte Walker says the money will help the school to astro-turf its tennis court.

Warkworth Collision repairs developed the vehicle as a community fundraising tool for local schools and clubs.

“We happily donate this vehicle free of charge, delivered with all equipment,” owner Brendan Reid says.
