Golf

Introduction

The Auckland Grammar School Golf team play regular fixtures in the inter-school nine hole competition as well as in one-off competitions, such as the traditional fixture with Hamilton Boys’ High School.

The School also offers a Junior School Championship for those with official handicaps. The Golf team play most Mondays and the Junior School Championships are held after school in Term 4.

As a child, 2022 Captain of Golf Matthew Griffiths took to the driving range for the first time and has been playing Golf ever since. He spoke to Headmaster’s Heritage Committee member Jaime Uy de Baron about how the team has fared this year and what is next for him when he graduates from Grammar – watch the full interview below.
