The Airlink Pumas show off their golf skills in White River

The Pumas Players’ Golf Day saw some exciting golf on the fairways of the White River Country Club, along with loads of laughter and good team spirit among the golfers.

The greens at the White River Country Club got a splash of pink during the annual Pumas Players Golf Day held on December 7.

The day took on a two-ball alliance, scramble drive format, which was welcomed by those who delivered some lacklustre performances.

Apart from the sometimes exciting golf on the fairways, the day included loads of laughter, camaraderie and some behind-the-scenes fun.
