48 Players – One Trophy – One Swing at a Time
On Thursday 17 September 2025, 48 players teed off at St Michael’s Golf Club for the NSW Qualifier round of the Hino 2025 Tenkaichi Trophy.
Meaning of Tenkaichi
The Tenkaichi Trophy marks the launch of a first-of-its-kind national event, proudly sponsored and hosted by Hino Australia in support of dealerships and customers across the country. Inspired by the spirit of 'Tenkaichi'—a title reserved for the very best—this competition sets the stage for top-tier performance, with qualifier rounds held in VIC, NSW and QLD where the best of the best will face off in early 2026 for the coveted title.
A combination of Adtrans Hino staff, family and customers hit the beautiful St Michael’s Golf Club 18-hole golf course—for a day of friendly competition and the opportunity to qualify for the Finals in 2026. 🏌️♂️⛳
Registration commenced at 7am with an 8am shotgun start on the course, overlooking Botany Bay, perfect skies and clear weather, as players teed off in mixed teams of 4 across18 holes. What a great day it turned out to be on the greens bringing together NSW Hino Dealerships, their customers and Hino Australia for a round of golf filled with good vibes, friendly competition and genuine connections. Here’s to stronger partnerships and more moments like these!
