Meet Junior Ambassador Hunter Oar

Representing the Ayr Golf Club At The 2025 Burdekin Water Festival

After playing golf for as long as she can remember, 11-year-old Hunter Oar was over the moon when she was asked to represent the Ayr Golf Club as a 2025 Burdekin Water Festival Junior Ambassador!

“I’m really proud to be representing the Ayr Golf Club as a junior ambassador for the 2025 Burdekin Water Festival as I’ve been playing golf since I was little, and I’m excited to help promote junior golf in our community as part of this amazing journey,” shared Hunter.

“I’m very grateful to the Ayr Golf Club for choosing me as their Ambassador!”

Hunter fondly remembers watching and supporting her aunty as she served as an Ambassador in the 2022 Burdekin Water Festival, and it’s these memories that made saying yes to the Ayr Golf Club so easy.

“I had so much fun helping her with her fundraising and decorating her float and being a part of it made me really want to get involved myself one day - so I’m very happy that I now get the chance!”

When Hunter isn’t on the green, you’ll find her on the netball courts, hanging out with her friends, or more recently, rehearsing for her school’s musical! A busy girl, Hunter has thoroughly enjoyed all that the 2025 Burdekin Water Festival has thrown at her so far, and she cannot wait for what’s yet to come.

“I’m really looking forward to all the events with my fellow ambassadors - they’re such a great group of people, and I’ve loved getting to know them,” Hunter added.

“I’m especially excited about the grand parade, my float, and seeing all the other amazing floats on the day!”
