Supporting a 16-year-old golfer to attend a Princeton College Golf Camp and compete in US tournaments, an incredible step toward his dream

Auckland

Hi, I’m 16 years old and a passionate young golfer from Auckland, New Zealand.

Golf has been a huge part of my life for the past few years. I train hard, compete regularly, and am constantly working to improve my game, not just technically, but mentally and physically as well. The sport has taught me discipline, resilience, and how to handle both success and setbacks with humility.

I’ve recently been given an incredible opportunity to attend a College Golf Camp at Princeton in the USA and to compete in a couple of US golf tournaments. This experience would allow me to train in a high-performance environment, learn from top coaches, and compete against international players. It’s a chance to test myself at the next level and gain exposure to the US college golf pathway.

For me, this trip isn’t just about playing golf overseas, it’s about growth, experience, and chasing a dream. Competing internationally at my age would be a huge step forward in my development as both an athlete and a person.

I’m fundraising to help cover travel, accommodation, tournament entry fees, and training costs associated with the trip. Any support, big or small, would mean so much to me and my family.

Thank you for helping me take this next step toward my goals. Every contribution brings me closer to teeing it up in the USA.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
