My wife Sonya and I were down in Queenstown for a week celebrating our thirtieth wedding anniversary at the same time the #NZOpen was being played at the Millbrook and The Hills Golf Coarse. On finals day we decided to go too The Hills to watch some of the players and take in the spectacular views of The Hills Coarse. I also planned on taking photos of some of the amazing sculptures that are placed about the Hills coarse.
We arrive mid afternoon and made our way to the closest fairway to where we entered the coarse. Which was hole14. These two shots below are from the sculpture that sit above hole14.

These were taken at the Camping ground on Black Jack Road, Whitianga. I felt so sorry Read more
