“Everyone has had a good laugh at both the images and their looks.”
Ellerslie manager Bruce Davies said the targets have been up for a few weeks and feedback has been positive.
There will be people who see the negatives but it’s just “a bit of fun,” Davies said.
The Herald reached out to political parties to see what they made of it.
Act said “if it helps build a player’s drive and doesn’t hurt anyone, there’s no harm in it. People will decide for themselves who to vote for and who not to”.
“Hitting the Act target is a clear signal to party vote Act.”
National would not comment.
Te Pāti Māori leader Rawiri Waititi commented under a social media post of the targets, writing “if you need to hit something good today, Ellerslie Driving range has got you [goofy emoji]”.
He replied: “Not me [laugh crying emoji].”
