Hi, my name is Caleb Mahoney, I am 12 years old. I am in year 7 at Mercury Bay Area School and I have lived in Whitianga for six years. I started to play golf when I was nine years old. That was in 2020. I enjoy playing golf because I get to spend time with my grandparents. My grandad has taught me to play.
