– Steven Adams joins star-struck Kiwi calendar

2017 IS SHAPING UP TO BE ONE OF THE MORE SIGNIFICANT YEARS IN THE HISTORY OF NEW ZEALAND GOLF.

Thunder Struck

In September the country hosts an LPGA tournament for the first time with local star Lydia Ko headlining the McKayson New Zealand Women’s Open. Then in October it’s the turn of Royal Wellington Golf Club to take centre stage as the best amateur male golfers from the region compete at the prestigious AsiaPacific Amateur Championship.

And now another very big event has burst on to the golfing calendar – the Steven Adams Invitational.

Adams was a Kiwi kid who benefited from some help on the way through to NBA stardom with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Since his rookie season Steven has been introducing a whole new generation of Kiwi kids to the fun, athleticism and healthy competitive spirit of basketball – and this year he’s looking to do it with a game of golf.
