Be the first person in the world to play golf that day?
Whatever turns you on some might say.
Nevertheless we’ve got the chance as we head for Gisborne the first city to see the light of day (and every day) in the new millennium

Poverty Bay Golf club is 111 years old
It’s no typo this club has been in existence for 111 years
Poverty Bay’s Awapuni Links
Here's a wee pic of the place.

This 110-year-old links course is one of New Zealand’s golfing treasures.
Nationally ranked, it is often host to championship events.
The narrow, undulating fairways and large, well bunkered greens are praised
by the country's top golfers.
And here's a bigger pic for a better idea of what's in store for us
And here's some advice from Adam Jones Course Superintendant, Gulf Harbour Country Club
"Poverty Bay, in my opinion, is a gem.
It's topography and location make it a very unique New Zealand links golf course.
The club should be extremely proud of what the greenkeepers are presenting.
I will be suggesting to visitors and members playing Gulf Harbour that if they are heading south, then Poverty Bay is a must."
