Tip 1 - Be summer weather-proof

Check the forecast to make sure you go prepared...

This is the NZ summer, so prepare for all weathers! Check the forecast and make sure you bring some extras in case conditions change. Apply sunscreen before you head to the course and have lots handy so you can top up during the day. Those portable sun shelters and/or sun umbrellas are a good idea too for a bit of shade as the day progresses (perfect for a little afternoon nap too). And don’t forget the binoculars!
