A STRONG RELATIONSHIP
“We are proud to partner with Drummond Golf once again,” explains Matthew Pitt, Founder and Managing Director of Social Golf Australia. “We have maintained a strong relationship with the team at Drummond Golf and been inspired by their commitment to supporting and growing the game. Our values around delivering high-quality customer service whilst having fun and enjoying golf have always been closely aligned. We've greatly appreciated Drummond Golf’s support of SGA events over the years, including Charity Golf days and Open Golf events. So it is exciting for us to welcome them as a major partner in 2022.”
“We have over 15,000 golfers in our community around Australia. They are people passionate about the game. Also, they love using the latest and greatest golf gear which is precisely what Drummond Golf provides. Thus, this partnership is an ideal match for both of us. Our golfers will be thrilled with this announcement, and we are delighted to be awarding vouchers for use at Drummond Golf in our event prize pools.” Pitt adds.
Ravi Abeyaratne, Marketing Director of Drummond Golf, echoed Pitt’s sentiments.
“It is our pleasure to help support a respected and thriving business like Social Golf Australia,” Abeyaratne says. “The team at SGA have always aimed to deliver high-value events and services at the industry’s very competitive prices. This matches our goals at Drummond Golf. We both share a commitment to providing high quality service, expert knowledge, convenience and competitive pricing. This is essential for us to put a partnership in place. We've watched SGA grow over the years to become the largest golf club in the country, and we are delighted to welcome SGA golfers at any of our 48 stores nationwide.”
SIMILAR BUSINESS PATHS
SGA and Drummond Golf have very similar histories, with both businesses considered trailblazers in the Australian Golf Industry. Further, both started in the Bendigo region in central Victoria. Drummond Golf, which was founded by Ray Drummond in 1974, began as a single-store retail business in Bendigo before expanding to its current network of 48 stores across Australia. Similarly, SGA started as small, family-run business from a home office in the nearby country town of Heathcote. It was founded by Sally and Matthew Pitt in 2004. Through providing friendly, honest and reliable customer service, SGA has grown into Australia’s Largest Golf Club, offering the country’s best value golf handicaps, as well as golf trips, tours, tournaments and events.
