In a significant new stadium-based innovation, Auckland’s Eden Park is to convert its hallowed turf into a unique nine-hole golf course for five days this November.

To be backed by long-time Eden Park sponsor ASB, from 1st November, the inaugural ASB G9 will give 1,800 players the opportunity to tee off from nine different locations around Eden Park, with a bonus Longest Putt competition in the home team changing room.

Across the five-day competition registered teams of four will be given 90 minutes to make their way around the nine-hole, in-stadium course. Team scores will be tallied based on how close each ball gets to the corresponding hole.

A range of prizes will be on offer to players who sink a hole in one; prizes include winning a Kia vehicle for nine weeks.
