Alistair had the huge honour of playing at Te Arai Links this past week with some former Dunalistair House guests ! Alistair states -
“Te Arai Links is an incredible addition to the golfing landscape of New Zealand. I recall when Jack Nicklaus commented back in 2008 that New Zealand now had a critical mass of marquee golf courses which made it a highly desirable destination for international golf visitors.”
14 years later and New Zealand has added some significant golf assets that have seen it develop into a standalone golf destination in its own right. Every course in a North Island 10 day itinerary is world class.

Fantastic news that after the Covid-19 forced cancellation of the much anticipated Ironman World Champs in November this year, that they have been rescheduled for December 2022. Well done team and all who made this happen !

Taupō District Mayor David Trewavas has today welcomed the announcement that the district will host the 2022 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships.

Taupō District was originally set to host the 2020 edition of the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship on November 28-29, prior to the event cancellation due to the ongoing and widespread impact of COVID-19 pandemic.

Mayor Trewavas said he was thrilled to see the district secure the world championship event which will be held on December 10-11, 2022.

“We are ecstatic that as the home of IRONMAN in New Zealand we have been able to work with IRONMAN to secure the event for 2022,” Mayor Trewavas said.

“We had already laid some solid foundations in preparing to host the world’s top triathletes and this additional time will allow us to offer an extremely polished event that will showcase both the Taupō District and New Zealand to the rest of the world.”
