Supporting the Dreams of Two Young Golf Champions
From the heart of Aotearoa, two extraordinary sisters, Nikau (8) and Arahina (7), are chasing a dream much bigger than their small beginnings.
These wāhine Māori have qualified for two of the world’s most prestigious junior golf tournaments:
🏌🏽♀️ U.S. Kids World Championship – Pinehurst, North Carolina, USA
📅 Teeing off July 31st, 2025
🌏 U.S. Kids Australian Open – September 2025, Australia
Their journey began with plastic golf clubs at age two. Since then, they’ve trained with purpose, self-discipline, and a deep love for the game — rising to the top of New Zealand’s junior scene without formal coaching or expensive resources.

They now play off +5 to +7 handicaps(Uskids tees), putting them among the top junior golfers on the planet for their age group.
