A group of Otago Polytechnic Te Pūkenga students have started their new careers on a high this week.
Eight sports turf management students — all of whom are only in their second week of the course — spent yesterday at Millbrook Resort polishing the greens ahead of the 103rd New Zealand Open golf tournament, which tees off tomorrow.
They were joined by course graduates Hemi Te Awhitu, a greenkeeper, and Taine Reynish, an irrigation technician and greenkeeper, both of whom are previous graduates of the course, who now work full-time at Millbrook.
