Golf – 100% Raw

Naked golf enthusiasts will once again experience the exhilaration of playing 100% Raw in the Nude Golf International being held at the scenic Wairau Valley Golf Course in Marlborough, New Zealand.

Wairau Valley is only 30 minutes drive from Blenheim on State Highway 63 towards the Nelson Lakes and the West Coast. Wai-natur Naturist Park, hosts of this major event on the naturist calendar, is only a few minutes walk from the golf course.

Golfers teeing off in the buff at 9:00am on Sunday 12^th February may expect full bar facilities throughout the Ambrose tournament, with lunch provided during the day. The Club have granted Wai-natur exclusive use of the nine hole course and will also provide a tournament organiser to ensure the rules of golf are adhered to. This is “serious fun”.

Owners of Wai-natur Naturist Park, Kay Hannam and Brian Williams have organised a number of successful golf tournaments at the Lake Tekapo Golf Club, in conjunction with the annual “Mackenzie Muster Naturist Festival” and since re-locating to Marlborough in 2006 have focussed their attention on the scenic course in Wairau Valley.

With facilities similar to other holiday parks, Wai-natur has a fabulous heated pool for skinny-

dippers. Guests can choose from two guest rooms for bed & breakfast accommodation in Kay and Brian’s spacious home set among five acres of beautiful garden. Well established trees provide a restful canopy while strolling naked around the property. Located in the camping area is a cabin with ensuite and onsite vans for accommodation, with a number of powered and non-powered sites. Toilets, hot showers and a communal ‘rec room’ with kitchen and barbecue area complete the camping options. Guests who also like to exercise in the nude may choose from a range of fitness equipment with a long leisurely soak in the outdoor spa or bath topping off a great day.

“Foodies” will also be catered for on the day prior to the event, with the annual “Nudie Foodies Sounds Adventure” in the Marlborough Sounds, culminating with an evening meal prepared by the “Nudie Foodies” in the garden at Wai-natur.

Check in at Wai-na tur on the evening of Friday 10^th February for the “mix and mingle” alongside the pool. Stay overnight before leaving by car to drive through the vineyards in Wairau Valley and meet MV Odyssea moored at the Havelock Marina by 10:00am.

Your skipper will take you on a cruise through Queen Charlotte Sound, mooring at a secluded area to swim or just laze around in the sunshine. Lunch will be provided and while it is okay to bring your own drinks for offshore use, a bar license applies while on the vessel. You can expect around 30 to 40 other “nudie foodies” to cruise with you in this super launch, chartered exclusively for the “Nudie Foodie Sounds Adventure”

Price $195.00 ~ includes cruise, lunch, dinner and Fri and Sat nights camping fees. Prior registration is essential for both events. Contact information is available on the website
