Shenzhen Shines for 2026 Mission Hills Masters

Amazing golf and jaw-dropping scenery greeted SGA Golfers at the World's Largest Golf Club

A full field of 64 SGA golfers made the quest in March to Shenzhen, China for an epic week of golf at the World's Largest Golf Club, Mission Hills Resort.

The second running of the Mission Hills Masters, co-hosted by SGA and AYM Golf Tours, proved to be a massive success. With some of the world's best golf courses on offer, our golfers were treated to a spectacular week of fun, friendships and fantastic golf!

2026 Mission Hills Masters recap

ARRIVAL AND WELCOME DINNER

Our golfers arrived into Shenzhen from all over the world, and made their way to the massive Mission Hills Resort by planes, trains, automobiles, ferries, buses and more.  After checking-in to their 5-star rooms, guests enjoyed a hosted poolside Welcome Party at the resort. Golfers and their partners were treated to good food and drinks, a relaxed vibe and a jovial atmosphere as they met their fellow golfers (many set to be life-long friends) for the week.

ROUND 1 - ELS COURSE

The 2026 Mission Hills Masters - Shenzhen teed off at the spectacular Els course at Mission Hills China 觀瀾湖. And what a course! Co-hosted by AYM Golf Tours, the event immediately saw heaps of smiles, camaraderie and some great golf.

ROUND 2 - OLAZABAL COURSE

An incredible day for R2 of the 2026 Mission Hills Masters - Shenzhen , co-hosted by AYM Golf Tours. The Olazabal course proved to be a visual masterpiece, with stunning views at every turn. It also proved to be a challenging yet extremely fun layout. We LOVED it.

REST DAY

A well-earned "rest day" for many of our golfers. While some of our guests took the opportunity to rest, others took the day to explore the bustling city of Shenzhen, while others even teed off for MORE golf, including some fun night-golf action under the lights.

ROUND 3 - WORLD CUP COURSE  + WORLD FRIENDSHIP CUP

An epic day at Mission Hills China 觀瀾湖 on the Nicklaus-designed World Cup Course for the 2026 Mission Hills Masters - Shenzhen, and the World Golf Friendship Cup. More than 100 golfers from all over the world joined each other on the fairways for fun, frivolity and fantastic golf.
The day was also R3 moving day for the tournament proper, with some serious moves on the leaderboard.

Golf Australia does not deny ACCC submission allegation

Golf Australia does not deny ACCC submission allegation

GolfAus_Stack_RGB_DBlue_800h

Golf Australia (GA) has issued a statement in which it does not deny nor refute the allegations made in an ACCC submission for breaches of Australia competition law.

After Golf Industry Central (GIC) published SGA’s Press Release “Social Golf Australia makes Submission to ACCC against Golf Australia” on March 13, Golf Australia contacted GIC and supplied a “Statement attributable to Golf Australia CEO James Sutherland” which Golf Industry Central published here.

This statement from GA is a direct response to the allegations of anti-competitive conduct made by Social Golf Australia (SGA) in a submission to the ACCC in early March. The ACCC submission by SGA alleges that GA joined an existing market and then used its market power to gain a competitive advantage which is a breach of Australian Competition Law.

Undisputed Facts at the Centre of the Allegation

The market joined was the Virtual Golf Club market which has dozens of competitors that have been operating for decades in a market that GA owns, controls, regulates and sets the wholesale prices for. GA has entered this market with a product offering (The Golf Australia Club) that is virtually identical to numerous existing competitors in that market.

The allegation of a breach of Australian competition law stems from GA opening scoring submission systems via the GA App that are available to golfers who join The GA Club, but GA has withheld access to those scoring systems from its competitors in the virtual club market. In this way GA is using its market power to leverage an advantage over the competition.

While positioned as a response, the GA statement does not directly challenge the core facts outlined in SGA’s submission. The GA statement does not deny nor refute:

  • That GA has entered the virtual club market.
  • That GA has allowed members of The Golf Australia Club to use the GA App to submit Conforming Social Scores (CSS).
  • That the other operators in the Virtual Club market cannot access the CSS submission systems controlled by GA.

These three facts form the foundation of the allegation of anti-competitive behaviour in the submission to the ACCC: that GA is leveraging control of essential infrastructure to advantage its own product in a market where it also competes.

A Question of Conduct, Not Semantics

What GA does is make a case based on semantics. GA argues that it is not ‘competing’ in the market, but that it is ‘complementing’ the market. This implies the argument that if they are not competing, then they cannot be guilty of anti-competitive behaviour.

“GA seems to be suggesting that if we redefine what competing means, then they are not breaking Australian competition law. This argument lacks substance, because if we reject their premise that they are not competing, then their entire case comes apart,” states Matthew Pitt, Managing Director of Social Golf Australia.

“There is an active market that has been operating for decades with numerous businesses competing for a share of the market. If a new player joins the competition, by definition they are competing,” Pitt adds.

Structural Conflict of Interest

GA’s case also implies that it holds a unique position as the not-for-profit custodian of the handicapping system which means they are different for the other competitors, so they are not competing, but complementing the market.

“It is correct that GA are different for the rest of the market. They own, control, regulate and set the wholesale pricing for affiliation fees in this market. Clearly this is a significant conflict of interest. It is undeniable that GA are very different from all the other competitors in that they exercise complete control over that market,” says Pitt.

“The inference GA seems to be making is that because they control the market, if they enter the market, then they are ‘complementing’ it and not ‘competing’ in it. This is not a compelling argument and any lawyer going before the ACCC or an Australian Court would have significant challenges maintaining this position,” says Pitt.

GA also makes claims in the statement about the value it brings to the market it has joined. However, GA is simply replicating what other operators (that are GA’s own stakeholders) have developed as initiatives in the market over decades. GA brings nothing new nor original to this market except that CSS scores are now possible via the GA App – but only to GA’s members.

Absence of Justification for Withholding Access

What is most damning about this situation is that the peak body of golf in Australia has been alleged to have broken the rules to try to win a competition and they don’t deny the facts of the matter. In some respects, what is most revealing about GA’s position is what they don’t say. GA is only arguing that they are not guilty of breaking Australian competition law, which is setting a low bar as it is. But there is another glaring omission from GA statement.

“GA does not make an argument for WHY they are withholding scoring systems from the clubs they are now competing with. If GA had a good reason for this policy, they could offer that. And yet they do not. The silence on this point is deafening. It is a significant decision that GA says was made by the GA Board and it has drawn an allegation of anti-competitive conduct and there is no reason nor explanation given for this policy,” says Pitt.

“GA do not deny that they are withholding scoring systems from their competitors, nor offer any argument for why that system is being withheld. In the absence of any alternative reasoning from GA, then we are left with one logically compelling explanation – GA is using its market power to get an advantage in a market it is competing in,” Pitt says.

Implications for the Game

Australian golfers have a right to demand more from GA. Unlike other major sports like the AFL, which is funded from the top down thanks to significant TV rights, golf is funded from the grassroots up. The affiliation fees from Australian golfers using the handicap system are the biggest single source of funding to GA.

There is no more damning accusation in golf than a competitor being alleged to have broken the rules to try to get an advantage over their fellow golfers. And yet GA has put itself in a position where this allegation is made of their conduct, and their response does not deny the allegation.

“As the peak governing body, GA plays a critical role not only in administering the game, but in upholding its integrity, fairness, and trust. The current situation risks undermining that trust. This matter highlights the importance of governance, transparency, and whether the structures underpinning the game operate equitably for all participants,” Pitt says.

“Our view is that GA has a responsibility to uphold the rules, values, spirit, etiquette and culture of the game of golf. We should and we do expect more from our national governing body than what we are seeing now. GA has the power and the opportunity to repair the current situation. Our hope is they also have the will, and that they take positive action before any more damage is done to the reputation of our game,” concluded Pitt.

Golf Australia named in ACCC Submission by Social Golf Australia

Golf Australia named in ACCC Submission by SGA for alleged anti-competitive conduct

GolfAus_Stack_RGB_DBlue_800h

Social Golf Australia (SGA) made a submission on Thursday March 5 to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) alleging that Golf Australia (GA) has engaged in anti-competitive conduct. The claim argues that when GA entered the golf handicap market with The Golf Australia Club (The GA Club) on December 1 2025 to compete against existing golf clubs as a handicap provider, that GA used its significant market power to leverage an unfair advantage over its competition.

GA allegedly did this by promoting the use of Conforming Social Score (CSS) submissions via the new GA App as a feature of The GA Club, whilst withholding that same scoring systems from its competitors in the market. The option was disabled in the back-end settings of GA Connect for golf clubs to choose to allow their members to submit CSS via the GA App. CSS are non-competition scores for handicapping and they have been rapidly increasing as a score submission method over the last decade.

BACKGROUND

As the national governing body of Australian golf, GA owns, controls and oversees the management of the country’s golf handicaps (an indexed number that allows golfers to compete on a level playing field). Golf Handicaps have traditionally been sold to golfers directly by golf clubs, or included in a membership package, with a portion of the club membership fee paid to the governing bodies in the form of an affiliation fee.

SGA is a small family business in the golf industry offering golf events and official golf handicaps that has worked closely with Golf Australia (GA) for two decades. GA and SGA collaborated to plan the development of a virtual golf club in 2006 and a close and mutually beneficial working relationship between the two organisations had been sustained for a long time.

Established with a commitment to helping golfers, the small virtual club founded in their home office by Sally and Matthew Pitt is now Australia’s largest golf club with over 12,500 active members. SGA has issued over 32,000 GOLF Link and Golf ID numbers, delivered over 11,000 new members to clubs and paid more than $3 million dollars in handicap affiliation fees over 20 years.

GA IS NOW COMPETING WITH ITS OWN STAKEHOLDERS

The stunning allegation is that GA has breached Australian competition law by misusing its significant market power in a way that could affect nearly half a million Australian golfers. However, GA joining the existing handicap market and competing with its own stakeholder clubs does raises some serious questions for the game of golf, but that is not the issue before the ACCC.

The type of product, value proposition and inclusions GA offers in the GA Club are virtually identical to several operators already in the market, including SGA. By controlling the CSS submissions via the GA App and allowing The GA Club members to use this system and withholding from competitors, it is alleged that GA used its significant market power to gain an advantage over its competition.

However, this extends beyond the other Virtual Clubs that GA has made its direct competitors. The 2024/25 GA Participation Report listed 477,220 people who are members of 1282 golf clubs and who pay affiliation fees to GA to access an official handicap. When the GA Club was launched, all of them were denied the option to use a scoring functionality through the GA App – the same scoring function that GA promotes as a key selling feature of The GA Club.

GOLF AUSTRALIA CREATING CONFUSION IN THE MARKET

According to Matthw Pitt, Managing Director of Social Golf Australia, the current environment is placing an administrative burden on golfers and creating confusion about how, when and where social and non-competition scores can be submitted for handicapping purposes, particularly for golfers who do not belong to a traditional affiliated club.

“Golfers just want a fair, reliable and transparent process for maintaining their handicap,” said Pitt. “For many golfers, their handicap is the gateway to participation, confidence, improvement, and connection. If the score submission pathways are unclear, inconsistent or withheld, then it undermines trust in the system and creates frustration across the national golfing community.”

SGA said it has spent recent months supporting members through a heightened volume of enquiries, including issues relating to account access, app registration, score submission visibility, and the ability for golfers to record rounds played in social contexts that still meet the Rules of Handicapping.

“SGA’s role has always been to help golfers access the system in a compliant way and to support the integrity of handicapping,” Mr Pitt said. “We are urging Golf Australia to work constructively with the broader golf ecosystem, including alternative club models and technology providers, so that golfers are not caught in the middle of market decisions or platform transitions.”

GA REFUSES MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES TO AVOID ACCC FILING

Unfortunately, the cooperative and positive relationship enjoyed for such a long time between GA and SGA has been deescalated by GA ever since they announced their intention to replicate the virtual golf club model and join as a competitor in the golf handicap market.

SGA has tried for months to have a constructive dialogue with GA on this issue with the aim of resolving it for the benefit of the broader golfing community. However, GA senior management last made contact with SGA in late November – days before the launch of the GA Club on December 1.

Since the time GA made themselves a competitor with SGA, they have acted only as a competitor and abrogated their responsibilities as the peak governing body with a responsibility to foster collegial relationships with stakeholders.

After months of trying to discuss the matter with GA (including warning their actions may contravene Australian competition law) and being continually rebutted, SGA formally raised its concerns in a submission to the ACCC on March 5, 2026.

GOLF’S FOUNDATIONAL VALUES OF HONESTY, INTEGRITY & SELF-REGULATION

SGA’s reluctance to take this action is borne out in the legal correspondence between the GA’s and SGA’s lawyers. Included in the documents is SGA’s stated position that a submission to the ACCC was not a desired outcome for the game of golf. However, it is SGA’s view that not holding GA to account for allegations of anti-competitive behaviour would be even worse for the game in the long term.

“Whatever the commercial or administrative settings, the guiding principle should be what best serves golfers and protects the integrity of the game. Maybe that is why we have received so much support from so many in the industry.”

“Golf’s reputation has been built on honesty, integrity, self-regulation, character and consideration for others.” Mr Pitt said. “Handicapping sits at the heart of that. But perhaps the moral dimension is why this story has resonated. Golfers are expected to call penalties on themselves and have a responsibility to protect the integrity of the game and the competition. In golf, sportsmanship and fair play is paramount and part of the fabric of the game. We believe that how we compete on the golf course should also be reflected in how we compete in the market.”

A DAVID V GOLIATH BATTLE – THE PRECEDENT GOLFERS DON’T WANT

It is not unreasonable to argue that a governing body of golf should be held to an even higher standard. For some in the industry, this confrontation between SGA and GA is the “little guy” standing up for those values - and for a fair marketplace - against a powerful organisation that appears prepared to change the rules of the game to suit its own interests at the expense of all others in the competition. That is not how golf has operated in the past and certainly not what golf purists want to see golf evolve into.

SGA maintains its focus remains on practical solutions, including clear guidance for golfers, consistent access to score submission functionality, and transparent communication to the market when systems change.

SGA will continue to advocate for outcomes that prioritise golfers, competition integrity, and industry-wide fairness. With this on mind, SGA is casting its complaint as an industry-wide issue, not a single-company grievance: if the national custodian can leverage control of the handicap system to favour its own commercial interests, it sets a precedent that could reshape the sport’s economy and undermine confidence in handicap integrity and the governing body.

CARETAKER OR STEAMROLLER?

The ACCC will determine what, if any, action is warranted. But for many golfers and clubs, the bigger question will outlast the legal process: is Golf Australia still acting primarily as a caretaker of the game, or has it drifted into behaving like a commercial operator prepared to trade away trust and integrity in pursuit of money and power?

SGA has consistently reiterated that it remains open to constructive dialogue with Golf Australia, and it encouraged golfers experiencing issues to contact SGA for support and to ensure their account settings and documentation are in order.

Further updates will be shared directly with SGA members as additional information becomes available.

Team South edges North by one point in epic 2026 Trans-Murray Matchplay Battle

Team South victorious in epic 2026 Trans-Murray Matchplay Battle

trans-murray match play

It was an epic week of golf for the 2026 Trans-Murray Matchplay, as 68 golfers from both sides of the Murray River returned to Canberra to represent their region, and battle for supremacy in this annual Teams Matchplay event. This was the 13th running of the annual Trans-Murray Matchplay, and Team South was hungry to bring the "Murray" trophy back home, having lost him in 2025.

As always with this event, there was some incredible competition, great sportsmanship, and some truly awesome camaraderie throughout the week.

It was also a tense, epic back-and forth battle!

Day 1

The First day's action (Pairs/Ambrose) at the magnificent Royal Canberra GC, was a friendly yet fierce start to the event. Played under hot conditions (the mercury hit 36 degrees at one point), the players battled hard, but still managed to have great fun. The course was in great condition, with the firm and tricky greens providing a challenge to all players.

After the scores were tallied after Day 1, Team North jumped out to a commanding 12 to 5 lead.

Day 2

Day 2 of the 2025 Trans-Murray Matchplay saw a heap of action at the magnificent Gold Creek, with the lead see-sawing all day. On this day, however it was Team South dominating the pairings.  In the Alternate-shot pairs format of the day, Team South pulled off the largest-ever Day 2 comeback, taking 12 matches to North's 5.

The 2026 TMMP was now All square, with only 1 round to go. It all came down to the all-important Singles matches!

Day 3

There was excitement in the air for the all-important Singles matches on Day 3, at the picturesque Gungahlin Lakes. The scoring was tight, and both teams were feeling the pressure.  Both teams aimed to take an early lead, as they knew that EVERY POINT MATTERED.

Following the round, the points were tallied as the players enjoyed drinks, food, laughter and stories of made (and missed) putts from the week.

When the points were finalised, the difference was just ONE POINT! Team South narrowly edged North, 17.5 to 16.5!

As a result, Team South were the 2026 victors, capturing "Murray" with a 34.5 to 33.5 Victory.

Congratulations to Team South!!

Final points:

Team D1 D2 D3 Total Points
North 12 5 16.5 33.5
South 5 12 17.5 34.5

Special Thanks

We would like to thank all the competitors (and their spouses/partners/plus-ones) for an incredible week at the 2026 Trans-Murray Matchplay. The success of these events is mostly due to the quality of the participants, and we believe that our golfers are of the highest quality anywhere!

Millbrook Resort (Coronet Course)

Set in a natural, alpine amphitheatre, the Millbrook Resort course (Home of the New Zealand Open) is one of the most impressive international golf arenas in the world.

Cobram Barooga Golf Club

Cobram Barooga Golf Club has two celebrated championship courses that have been voted in the Top 100 Courses in Australia. Since 2021 the club has also played host to the prestigious TPS Murray River Tournament on the PGA Tour of Australasia.

At 6186m, The "Old" Course's clever design and narrow tree-lined fairways provide a good test of skill for any player. The course, with many classic holes, is framed by majestic red gums and pines. The new "West" Course offers wider fairways, larger greens and additional slopes that provide natural framing for tee shots. Slightly longer than the original course at 6287m, the 18-hole layout has gained a strong reputation as the perfect blend of resort and modern links style.

Accommodation - Bridges Villas and Bullanginya Lodge

Stay right next door at Bridges Villas and overlook the fairway in our stunning premium accommodation. Located on the Murray River, Bridges Villas, offers everything you need for your golfing holiday or overnight stay.

2026 SGA Championships Itinerary

Following our largest-ever Champs in 2025, The 2026 event will ONCE AGAIN have SPLIT-FIELDS, meaning there will be:
TWO courses in action each day
DOUBLE the daily prizes
FASTER rounds each day

Regarded as a must-play event on most clubs’ Social Golf calendars, the SGA Championships sees golfers and social clubs from across Australia converge upon the Gold Coast for a week of spectacular golf, energetic competition and, most importantly, a ton of fun.

ARRIVAL

Arrival and Check-in at The Gold Coast

Upon arrival at the glittering Gold Coast, you'll transfer to your home base for the week, the Mantra Legends Hotel. Featuring 4-star rooms, the hotel is right in the heart of the action, and provides everything you need for a fun and relaxing stay.

You'll then check-in for the tournament, where you will meet our friendly staff and receive your player Welcome Pack, which includes a tournament polo & hat, cooler bag, golf balls, bag tag, the week's program and more fun goodies.

"It was a great experience, especially as a first-timer. Great people, very relaxed and inclusive atmosphere, and fantastic golf. Just what I hoped for.”

David

Sunday - Optional - Ambrose Day

Palmer Gold Coast (Robina Woods)

The week begins with an optional (and fun) Team Ambrose Golf Day, where you can warm-up for the week in a jovial and relaxing atmosphere.  Carved out of 65 hectares of native woodlands, with fairways lined by towering gum trees, Palmer Gold Coast has rapidly developed a reputation as one of Queensland’s best-loved resort courses. Consistently ranked in the top 30 resort courses in the country, Palmer Gold Coast is a 6078 meter, 18-hole, Par 71 championship golf course designed by the Marsh / Watson team. A natural water-course featuring lakes, ponds, creeks and native wildlife completes a rare golf course environment.

(Note: MAXIMUM of 72 spots available for the Ambrose Warm-up Day)

SUNDAY EVENING

WELCOME DINNER

Your tournament week begins with a fully-catered Welcome Party at The Mantra. Meet your fellow golfers, say G'day to the SGA Staff and Hosts, and enjoy tasty food and beverages. The evening also includes the awarding of last year's winners' Championship Shirts, as well as any Milestone awards for long-term players.

"I can't believe how good the event is for the price. We got great service from all the staff and always with a smile. My clubs are always waiting for me at each course and I get to play with someone different each round."

Steve

Round 1 & 2 (Monday & Tuesday) SPLIT FIELD

Links Hope Island

Designed by five-times British Open Champion, Peter Thomson and home to Australian golfing royalty, Peter Senior, Links Hope Island is a must-play on any visit to the region. The course regularly rates among the finest resort courses in the country. When you play at Links, you'll be met with a real sense of welcome and warmth from the time you arrive. 

Round 1 & 2 (Monday & Tuesday) SPLIT FIELD

Lakelands

Since opening in February 1997, the wonderful Lakelands golf course has forged a deserved reputation as one of Australia's very best golf courses. Situated in the heart of the Gold Coast adjacent to the luxurious Radisson Resort and next door to Palm Meadows, Lakelands was the first signature designed course in Australia by golfing legend Jack Nicklaus. Lakelands is often described as a thinking player's course with a unique Nicklaus flavour to the design.

"Fantastic event, very welcoming to overseas players. Very well organized with lovely challenging courses to play."

Karen

Round 3 & 4 (Thurs & Friday) SPLIT FIELD

Palm Meadows

Palm Meadows was the first golf resort course on the Gold Coast, and pioneered the Australian resort golfing boom. The challenging 350-hectare par 72 course was designed by renowned course-designer Graham Marsh. It measures 6319 metres off the championship tees and the opening and closing holes are rated among the greatest in Australian golf. Water comes into play on 14 holes and there are 82 sand bunkers around the course. 

Round 3 & 4 (Thurs & Friday) SPLIT FIELD

RACV Royal Pines Resort - Green & Gold

RACV Royal Pines Resort has been recognised as a premier golf destination for over a decade. With undulating terrain, magnificent greens and tight fairways that demand respect, RACV Royal Pines is a great golf experience for players of all standards. With 27 Championship holes of golf, the facility features three distinct course combinations and three unique golfing experiences. 

“This was my first time and was extremely impressed with the organisation and overall management. Was also great value for money.”

Paul

FRIDAY Evening

Awards Dinner and Presentation

Friday evening, you'll enjoy a massive night, as we wrap-up the week at the Presentation Ceremony and Closing Dinner. Share your week's memories with your old (and new) golfing mates as you enjoy a full sit-down dinner, complete with Beer/Wine/Drinks, live music and the all-important Awards, where we crown the Individual and Team champions. Our event will again feature great prizes totaling over $50,000, including Srixon, Garmin and MGI golf products, vouchers from The Card Network and Drummond Golf, and SGA Shiraz from Heathcote Winery. The evening also includes our highly-anticipated prize draw, where one player will win free entry to one of our events (including airfares) valued at over $2500.

"Well done to all involved, great to catch up with old friends and making some new ones. I always enjoy the event - for 11 years and counting. Keep up the good work and see you all next year."

Brad

Queenstown quality on show for 2025 Queenstown Golf Week

2025 Queenstown Golf Week a massive hit for golfers

Amazing golf and jaw-dropping scenery greeted SGA Golfers once again

SGA returned to Queenstown, New Zealand, for the 2025 Queenstown Golf Week, and the trip proved to be everything (and more) that golfers look for in a golf trip.

With some of New Zealand's top courses on offer, including Millbrook's Coronet and Remarkables courses, Jack's Point and Queenstown Golf Club, our golfers were once again treated to an exceptional week of golf.

2025 Queenstown Golf Week Recap

ARRIVAL AND WELCOME DINNER

Following a short flight from Australia, golfers made their way to Crowne Plaza Queenstown, our new home-base for the week. That night, guests enjoyed a hosted Welcome Party at the Queenstown Skyline Stratosfare restaurant, at the top of the famous Queenstown Gondola. Golfers and their partners were treated to good food and drinks, a relaxed vibe, sweeping views of Queenstown, and a jovial atmosphere as they met their fellow golfers (many set to be life-long friends) for the week.

DAY 1 - JACK'S POINT GC

Day 1 of the 2025 Queenstown Golf Week saw golfers experience the spectacular Jack's Point - a bucket-list golf course for golfers across the planet. Despite unseasonably cold and wet conditions (in the area's wettest spring on record), our golfers braved the elements and tackled the South Island's #1-rated course. With spectacular views of the Remarkables mountain range and Lake Wakatipu, the course proved to be challenging and enjoyable - and had many golfers determined to return to play it again next year.

Thanks to the entire team at Jack's Point for hosting us!

DAY 2 - QUEENSTOWN GOLF CLUB

Day 2 saw the clouds part, and the sun begin to bask our golfers in warmth. And despite a short snowshower (!!!) for the first group, the field enjoyed spectacular views and some high-quality golf. The course -- located in Kelvin Heights, on an island across the bay from the city of Queenstown -- was a smash with golfers, and a treat to play.

A huge thanks to Queenstown GC for sharing your course with us. 

DAY 3 - REST DAY

A well-earned "rest day" for many of our golfers in Queenstown. There is SO MUCH to do in the area, it's hard to choose just one or two activities. While some of our guests took the opportunity to rest, others took the day to explore Queenstown, "the Adventure Capital of the World"

DAY 4 MILLBROOK CORONET

Thursday and Friday, our golfers played the magnificent Millbrook Golf Club, host of the NZ Open. The 36-hole facility was a real treat for our golfers to experience it in all its glory. The courses featured gorgeous scenery all around, which (if you're not careful) can distract you from the golf itself. Overall, it was a challenging and enjoyable two days. The course staff were friendly and helpful, and our golfers had a great time.

Thanks to the course and staff for hosting us and making it a memorable two days.

DAY 5 MILLBROOK REMARKABLES

 

FAREWELL DINNER

Following the day, golfers and their non-golfing partners converged at Brazz Steakhouse for the Presentation Dinner. With some tasty food (and PLENTY of beverages) consumed, the night was a relaxing and fun evening where golfers chatted about their glorious (and not-so-glorious, LOL) golf shots and moments across this memorable week.
