Meet @h.nterr a student at John Paul College in Rotorua and outstanding golfer. When she’s not out on the golf course you’ll find her with her friends or watching movies. Her dad got her into golf which she admits it’s a really hard sport she stays committed to the goal of going pro. ⛳️
Some of her highlights to date are not only her results and winning tournaments but the friends she’s made in golf and her whanau and golf club support. “I look up to my parents the most because they are hard workers and it’s taught me to work hard in golf.”
Sport is not without its challenges, Hunter has faced injury in the past but used patience, perseverance and resilience to get through it. She’s looking for the Adastra Foundation to support her in connecting with others on the same journey and to learn of pros in the industry.
Already well on her way and committed to her sport she’s aware of other important things as she gets older noting if she could give her younger self some advice it would be “academics and golf need to be a balance”.

Previous presenter at our Adastra workshop Julian Dean, is the Ambassador for the Tour of New Zealand - a 5 day stage race and fundraising ride on the South Island’s West Coast. Into the final day today, the riders, from professional road cyclists to first timers on a tour of this size, are all fundraising for various charities.
Fantastic to see a legend like Julz Dean giving back to the sport he had so much success in and encouraging all these riders on their massive efforts.
Allez allez to all these riders on their final stage which culminates at the top of the Crown Range. Whew!! 🚴🏻♂️🚴🚴🏿♀️ ... See MoreSee Less

A massive shout out and thank you to a long-term valued partner of Adastra - Brian Perry Charitable Trust. These guys have been around since the beginning and supported a number of insanely talented young people over the years. A select few of these individuals have gone on to become Olympians and/or represent the country on the world stage.
One of these people is Veerle ten Have.
