Many of golf's brightest young stars are competing at this week's national amateur championships near Wellington.
Among them is 12-year old girl who plays better than most adults and a teenager turning heads.
On the fairway Lydia Redpath looks like any golfer good enough to make these nationals.
But a closer look reveals how special this teenager really is - a fingerless left hand is no handicap to her.
"It hasn't really stopped me doing anything aye," says Redpath. "Some people it would I guess and some people with two hands wouldn't take the opportunities I have, so I reckon it's made me go further."
Born with only one hand, Redpath took up golf as a child. But it was not till her coach helped develop a stabilising strap two years ago that her game really took off.
Now the Wellingtonian is in the country's top 30.
"I think she's extremely talented to do what she does with the one hand she does have and the glove we've developed and everything like that," says Redpath's coach, Renee Fowler.
"I think she's doing exceptionally well."
Armed with an official okay for the gripping glove, the 18-year-old wants to go pro one day. For now, she will keep impressing people overseas.
"All the Americans in China were watching me hit balls and the coach was going 'oh my god' and it's normal for me 'cause I get that all the time, so it is cool," says Redpath.
Redpath inspires other golfers, including this year's youngest participant Te Rongopai Clay. The 12-year old is tossing up between netball and golf, and currently golf is slightly ahead.
"It's cool cos people won't boss you around and tell you what to do and stuff," says Clay.
