Golf Otago

A great night to be had in Southland!

Golf Otago would like to acknowledge the tragic passing of Sean Roach, who passed away on Sunday.

Sean made his debut for Otago in 2006, becoming the 86th player to represent Otago at the Interprovincials. In 2007, he retained his position in the team and in 2008, he was named at number 1 for Otago. After this, Sean took his golfing talents to the Bay of Plenty.

R.I.P Sean.
