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

Team South victorious in epic 2026 Trans-Murray Matchplay Battle

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

The hotel is just across the road from Steamer Wharf, providing easy access to dining, bars, and entertainment, as well as cruises on the TSS Earnslaw Vintage Steamship.

Sunday Evening, 7:00pm

Welcome Dinner - Crowne Plaza (Overlooking Lake Wakatipu)

Sunday Evening enjoy a Welcome Buffet Dinner with your fellow travellers (and their non-golfing partners) in a private room at Crowne Plaze, as you take in the views of Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu.

Round 1 - Monday. 10:00am Tee

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. Featuring impeccably groomed fairways and greens, demanding hazards and meandering water courses, surrounded by the alpine backdrop of the Remarkables Mountain Range, golf at Millbrook Resort is an exhilarating experience. The 18-hole, par 72 championship course was designed by renowned professional and master golfer, Sir Bob Charles, and features four different tee positions for complete enjoyment at all levels of playing expertise.

Round 2 - Tuesday. 8:20am Tee

Millbrook Resort (Remarkables Course)

Meandering between tarn-like ponds with spectacular 360-degree vistas of Millbrook, the Remarkables and Arrow nines have combined to form Remarkables 18, providing a truly memorable golfing challenge. Fast and true greens, fine turf quality and a stunning alpine setting combine to provide the golfing experience for which Millbrook is renowned. With the Crown Range and Arrow river valley providing mesmerising backdrops, focusing on the golf can be quite the test.

Round 3 - Thursday. 10:10am Tee

Jack's Point

Set within a 3,000 acre nature preserve on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, Jack's Point is an 18-hole par-72 golf course bounded by the Remarkables Mountain Range and Lake Wakatipu. It traverses through wetland to the Lake edge encountering steep bluffs, indigenous vegetation and wildlife. It is designed to work with nature, not against it. Fairways are designed with minimal excavation and careful plantings to complement the natural environment, but also to give the golfer a fighting chance.

Round 4 - Friday. 8:30am Tee

Queenstown Golf Club

Queenstown Golf Club at Kelvin Heights was recently voted New Zealand’s most scenic golf course and is internationally regarded as one of the World’s most picturesque. It is set in the amphitheatre of the famous Remarkable Mountain Range and surrounded by the pristine waters of Lake Wakatipu. The Course is ‘truly awesome’, offering not only a course that will test your skill but provides a golfing experience you will never forget. Queenstown Golf Club provides a unique challenge with undulating fairways framed by well-established Pine trees. The signature 5th hole playing across the Lake is one of New Zealand’s finest and most photographed.

Presentation and Farewell Lunch

More information about the 2026 Kelly Gang Shootout

A long-cherished annual event in our popular Bushranger Golf series, The Kelly Gang Shootout is always a HUGE amount of fun. The 21st Running of this four-person team ambrose event will be played over 36 holes at the spectacular Cobram Barooga Golf Club, and will feature all the usual fun, frivolity and excitement of an amazing golf weekend.

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.

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!

default

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.

default

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.

Cheshire Militia Pivot Men pilfer 2025 William Buckley Classic

The Cheshire Militia Pivot Men prevail at 2025 William Buckley Classic

The 20th running of the William Buckley Classic saw golfers from across the country descend upon the Bellarine Peninsula for a weekend of fun and frivolity.

Under cloudy skies, with plenty of wind throughout the weekend, the Portarlington, Queenscliff and (Host) Curlewis Golf courses presented our players with a challenging and thoroughly enjoyable weekend.

For the third time in 3 years, a pair of relative newcomers to SGA battled harder than the rest (both on the course, and in the post-round festivities) as they stormed home to victory, taking home the mighty Murrangurk Trophy.

Following a windy day on Round 1 at the lovely Queenscliff GC, a cloudy start for Round 2 at Curlewis gave way to warm sunshine, and the scoring on the magnificent Curlewis layout began to get as warm as the weather.

Many teams jostled atop the leaderboard all day, with one team, The Cheshire Militia Pivot Men (Harley Voelmle & Peter Weedon) breaking through for a victory via a solid 2-day 88 stableford points. Congrats boys! They pipped The Swan Island Hackers (Dean Baldry and Gavin Morris) on 86, followed by The Indented Heads (Anthony Moscato and Michelle Jarvis) on 85. Rounding out the Top-5 were The Torquay Hookers (Kathy Ridley and Zane Ridley) on countback over the fast-finishing The Wild White Men (Rob Robinson and Shaun Condron), both on 83.

In essence, we've done the hard yards for you. All you need to do is have fun!

Day 1 - Sun - Arrival & Welcome Dinner

Depart from your capital city to Da Nang (via Ho Chi Minh City).

That night, enjoy a Welcome Dinner, where you will meet your fellow travelers, and get prepared for a week of fun.

Day 2 - Mon - BRG Danang - Nicklaus Course

Winding through paddy fields, the Nicklaus Course is a fantastic start to your week. Several of the holes play adjacent to the Coco River with great views of the surrounding villages and back to Danang City. A series of interconnected lakes and creeks meander throughout the course with wooden walls framing the holes and separating the greens from the surrounding water hazards.

Inclusions: Breakfast.

Day 3 - Tue - BRG Danang - Norman Course

Opened in 2010, this course immediately leapt to fame, being recognized as one of the 15 best new courses in the world by USA GOLF magazine.

The greens have plenty of subtle undulations and encourage a variety of approach shots.

Inclusions: Breakfast.

Day 6 - Fri - Laguna Lang & Closing Dinner

Located between the ancient city of Hue to the north, and Da Nang to the south, the Laguna Lang Co Golf Club is an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Sir Nick Faldo.

2026 SGA Autumn Classic - Event Info

2026 is the 4th running of the Autumn Classic, with the event returning to the magnificent town of Bright. Golfers will play at Myrtleford and Bright golf courses (with an optional bonus round at Bright GC) and stay at the Bright Chalet. The format for the weekend is individual and teams stableford aggregate.

Bright Country Golf Club

Situated at the foothills of the Victorian Alps, the Bright Country Golf Club is considered to be one of Victoria's best regional courses. Nestled alongside the Ovens River, the unique 18-hole course, designed by Tony Cashmore, features a par-72, 6097m easy-walking layout with manicured grass greens and beautifully developed tree-lined fairways. The course is a favourite of SGA Staff ... especially as there are no bunkers! (But don't let that fool you, it is challenging, fun and spectacular.).

Myrtleford Golf Club

Situated in the heart of the beautiful Ovens Valley, Myrtleford boasts an 18-hole course with tree-lined fairways - (some of the River Red gums are reputed to be 300 years old). It is a challenging course with accuracy at a premium on the narrow fairways and small greens. It's another easy-walking course, with most of the fairways being flat -- with only the 9th and 18th being on a hill.

The Bright Chalet

Located just outside of Bright, the Bright Chalet is a third-generation family business, which is popular year-round. Featuring 26 rooms over two floors, the chalet is the ideal home-base for our event. There is a full-service kitchen and dining area, dedicated bar, pool and function area. The rooms are comfortable and fully-equipped with large LCD screens, reverse-cycle air conditioning/heating, refrigerator, en-suite plus access to a balcony, with views of the surrounding mountains.

Event format - Single Stableford PLUS Pairs Better Ball

Here's everything you need to know about this 36-hole, weekend golfing adventure:

The Autumn Classic is a 36-hole golf tournament for amateur golfers. The event format for the individual grades is single stableford over two rounds. In addition, there is a team element (Pairs Better Ball/ 4BBB) event to add some extra fun and interest to the tournament. For this, only a team's best stableford score for each hole (i.e. Better Ball) is counted. These are added to make the daily team total. The team with the best total over two days wins the title.

Friday

Optional Warm-up

Get your weekend started early with an optional warm-up round. This will be an individual Stableford event, complete with prizes for the day

Saturday

Round 1

Individual Stableford PLUS Team Better Ball Stableford. A Team's best stableford score on each hole counts towards the Team Total.

Sunday

Round 2

Individual Stableford PLUS Team Better Ball Stableford. A Team's best stableford score on each hole counts towards the Team Total.

Rules:

Handicaps: Each pair will play via their official Golf Australia Handicaps, adjusted for the course/slope, etc. Daily results for all players will be entered on GOLF Link and will count towards players’ handicaps. Each player is personally responsible for ensuring that he or she is playing off the correct daily handicap on each day.
Nearest-the-Pin, plus Drive & Chip (NTP in 2 shots): will be held each day.
Playoffs: In the event of a tie, a countback will be used to determine the winners.
Note that a player may only win one of the events (teams or singles). If the individual/singles winner is also one of the winning pairs team, then the next-highest-ranked individual score will be named the individual winner - this ensures we have three Champions for the event.
Prizes are awarded to the top Team, plus individual winner.
