🌟⛳️ MĀTARIKI TOURNAMENTS ACROSS AOTEAROA 🌟⛳️

As we celebrate Matariki and Puanga, Māori golfers throughout Aotearoa will come together on Friday 10 July 2026 to honour our traditions, reconnect with whānau and friends, and celebrate the game we love! (love to hate sometimes...)

Matariki marks the Māori New Year and the rising of the Matariki star cluster. For many, Matariki signals a time to remember those who have passed, celebrate the present, and plan for the future. For some iwi in the western regions of Aotearoa, Puanga (Rigel) is the star that heralds the Māori New Year and carries the same significance of reflection, renewal, and hope.

Golf tournaments held during this special time are more than just competitions. They are opportunities to strengthen whanaungatanga, celebrate our culture, share stories, and bring our communities together on the fairways.

⛳ To all clubs and regions hosting Matariki and Puanga tournaments on 10 July or the long weekend:
Thank you for continuing this proud tradition and creating spaces where golf and culture come together.

📸 If your club is hosting a Matariki or Puanga tournament, share your photos, results, and stories with NZMGA so we can showcase the amazing mahi happening throughout the country.

✨ Remember. Reflect. Reconnect. Renew.

From all of us at the New Zealand Māori Golf Association, we wish everyone a safe and enjoyable Matariki season.
