Ata mārie,

Golf Days
Our inaugural South Waikato Golf Day in Putāruru was a huge success, bringing local businesses together to make connections and enjoy some friendly competition. A big thank you to our naming rights sponsors, Better Eggs and Ultimate Builders, and congratulations to the winning team, FMG Insurance. You can check out photos from the day here.

Planning is underway for our annual Edge Interiors Waikato Chamber Golf Day in Ngāruawāhia on 12 February 2027. This popular event has already sold out to previous attendees and sponsors, but you can still get involved by sponsoring a hole, which is a great opportunity for brand exposure!

If you'd like to sponsor a hole for the 2027 Edge Interiors Waikato Chamber Golf Day, please email us for details. You can also join the team entry waitlist here.
