Highly promising golfer Duncan Croudis (2005-09) will get a head-start from one of the greats in his bid to embark on a professional career.

Duncan has been awarded the Sir Bob Charles Scholarship, an annual endowment established with funds donated by New Zealand’s greatest golfer. He will get financial assistance both to attend the University of Otago this year and to work on his golfing education.
While Duncan was at the New Zealand Open at The Hills last week working as a caddy for Dunedin professional Mahal Pearce (1989-93), a review of his achievements over the past 12 months suggests it will not be long before he plays in the tournament himself.
Duncan won the New Zealand under-19 title at the North Shore club in September.
He then placed second in his age group at the Aaron Baddeley international event in China and nearly qualified for the New Zealand Open when he missed out on a play-off at the qualifying tournament by just one shot.
