Most casual club golfers dream of shooting a round in the 70s. It is a goal many never reach but it is nothing out of the ordinary for a 13-year-old from Te Puke Intermediate.
Harry Hillier has only been playing golf for three years but has already caught the eye of the higher golfing fraternity with his excellent technique and a rare ability to focus for hours on end under pressure.
At this week's AIMS Games golf tournament, only one of the 55 entrants had a lower handicap than his 5.8, and he admits winning a silver medal at last year's games was the spur for him to go one better this time. That and some friendly sibling rivalry, as his older brother Charlie won silver and gold at his two appearances at the AIMS Games.
What Harry loves most about golf gives an indication as to what makes him such a tough player mentally.
