INTO THE SWING OF THINGS: Hawke’s Bay-Poverty Bay No.1 women’s golfer Tessa McDonald starts her competitive year at the Sacred Hill Open in Napier this weekend. McDonald, who plays off a +2 handicap at the Awapuni Links course, will be upping her tournament play this year with the ultimate ambition of turning pro. She finished 2020 in fine style with five wins from seven matches at the national women’s interprovincial and a home course record 8-under 66.
