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.

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

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.

Corowa Borrowers burgle 2025 Kelly Gang Shootout

Corowa Borrowers burgle 2025 Kelly Gang Shootout

A full field of 52 golfers made a gaolbreak for Rich River Golf Club for the 20th staging of The 2025 Kelly Gang Shootout. With sunny and clear skies throughout the weekend, the quality of play and raucous good times were on show.

And what a show it was -- especially from regular podium stars Ash Davis, Brendan Davis, Nick Randone and Adrian Dallas who stormed to victory on Sunday, courtesy of some stellar play. Their two-day total of 185, was enough to pip the fast-finishing Benalla Burglars (Gus Engley, Peter Engley, Braeden Philpin and Joel Simons) on 187, and the Jerilderie Gents (Mark Collis, Ben Forbes, Brian Bane and Bryce Amoroa) also on 187.

See full leaderboard below.

Thanks to all of our amazing players for joining us on an epic weekend. You were all top-notch. We couldn't have a great weekend like this without you!

Special thanks to the entire team at Rich River Golf Club for hosting us on your wonderful course. Finally, cheers to our sponsors Srixon Australia, MGI, Heathcote Winery, Garmin Australia, Drummond Golf and TCN.

Overall, it was a remarkable weekend of fun and frivolity. We hope to see you all next year!

Gorgeous weather, great people and a pair of magnificent golf courses set the stage for the 2025 SGA Autumn Classic over the weekend.

A total of 45 men and women golfers from across Victoria, NSW and WA competed in the event, which featured a combination of Solo Stableford and Pairs Best Ball, played over 36 holes at Bright Country Golf Club and Myrtleford Golf Club.

Notably, the ladies outplayed the men over the weekend, with the podium an all-girls affair (It's true: Girls Just Want to have fun, as witnessed by Marcella Broz's shirt on Sunday - see the photo!).

In the teams event, it was a nail-biting three-way tie for first on 90 total Stableford points, requiring a countback to determine the placings. Congratulations to 2025 champions Helen O’Shea and Jo Crowston, who pipped Di Francois and Rosie Trewin, followed by Rukshana Mohammed and Marcella Broz.

In the individual comp, the ladies also dominated the leaderboard. Di Francois blitzed the field with 78 total stableford points, followed by Marcella Broz on 73, and Helen O’Shea on 72. Congratulations, too, to Suba Thiruchenthuran, who captured the Friday warm-up round at Bright GC.

Monday, March 9, 2026 (8:00am Tee time)

R1 - Els Course

The theme of the Els Course is to create a lush backdrop of dense tree growth juxtaposed against wide swaths of manicured turf, thus evoking a "maintained garden" aesthetic reminiscent of Els' South African homeland. Measuring more than 7,000 yards, the Els Course follows a unique "core" layout in which no two holes run parallel. The signature fourth hole features a tee box atop the highest point on the course, providing golfers with panoramic views of Mission Hills Golf Club and the surrounding region.

Inclusions: Breakfast.

Tuesday, March 10, 2026 (9:00am Tee time)

R2 - Olazábal Course

Jose Maria Olazabal's inaugural signature course is one of the club's strongest tests, and was voted the best course in Asia. Numerous majestic vistas of untouched jungle and natural flowing streams create outstanding backdrops throughout the golf course. The numerous, deep bunkers, along with its undulating fairways are two distinguishing features of this true championship course. The Olazabal Course hosted the 2007, 2008 & 2009 Omega Mission Hills World Cup, often referred to as the "Olympics of Golf."

"It was the greatest golfing experience I have ever had.

This was my first experience with SGA. In 1 word: Fantastic!
The whole trip was first class...so well organised, you just went with the flow. The golf courses were excellent, the itinerary was great; communication was exceptional, plenty of time to yourself to look around and do the tourist side of things.
I will be booking another trip with SGA 100%. Thank you!"

Inclusions: Breakfast

Friday, March 13, 2026 (8:00am Tee time)

2026 Trans-Murray Match Play Format

The Trans-Murray Matchplay is a 3-day Teams event pitting teams from North and South of the Murray River. Each day's format mirrors the famous Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup matchplay events, with a combination of pairs (Best Ball and Alternate Shot) and singles matchplay. All golfers of all abilities are welcome to play. (Click here to see past results)

Round 1

Pairs Ambrose

Playing in teams of 2, each ambrose pair posts a stroke score for each hole and the best stroke score wins the hole. If the stroke score from each team is the same, the hole is halved. Teams which have the same handicap will play off scratch together. If a team has one more shot on handicap, they get a shot on the hardest hole. Two shots difference = a shot on the two hardest holes and so on. Team captains will aim to match teams with similar handicaps so there are very few shots given.

Round 2

Pairs Alternate-Shot

Teams of 2 playing Alternate Shot with a twist. Players tee off, then team-mates swap drives and hit their second shot with their partner's ball. The team then chooses the best of the two shots, and continue alternating shots with the chosen ball. The best stroke score wins the hole. Teams off the same handicap will play off scratch. If a team has one more shot on handicap, they get a shot on the hardest hole and so on. Team captains will aim to match teams with similar handicaps so there are very few shots given.

Round 3

Singles Matchplay

One-on-One Matchplay. Each player is paired against a player from the opposite team. The best stroke score wins the hole. If the stroke score from each player is the same, the hole is halved. Players off the same handicap will play off scratch. If a player has one more shot on handicap, they get a shot on the hardest hole. Two shots difference = a shot on the two hardest holes and so on. Team captains will aim to match teams with similar handicaps so there are very few shots given.

More information about the SGA Queenstown Golf Week

Crowne Plaza Queenstown

Located in the heart of Queenstown, Crowne Plaza offers stunning panoramic views of The Remarkables mountain range and Lake Wakatipu, New Zealand's longest lake. 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.

The Hotel provides a range of excellent facilities, including valet parking, a business centre, fully equipped fitness centre, guest laundry and 24-hour room service.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Welcome and Presentation Dinners

Welcome Dinner - Skyline Stratosfare Restaurant and Bar

Sunday Evening, enjoy a sumptuous buffet dining experience at Skyline’s Stratosfare Restaurant & Bar at the top of the Gondola in Queenstown. Meet your fellow travellers (and their non-golfing partners) as you take in the panoramic views of Queenstown, Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountains.

Presentation and Farewell Dinner

Following Golf on Friday, enjoy a presentation ceremony and farewell dinner, where you will share laughs, stories of the week and a few beverages with your new golfing friends.

2025 SGA Championships Itinerary

Following our largest-ever Champs in 2024, we've now made the MASSIVE decision to EXPAND THE EVENT for 2025.

The 2025 event will 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.”

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."

Round 1/2 (Split fields) Monday/Tuesday

RACV Royal Pines Resort

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.

Round 1/2 (Split fields) Monday/Tuesday

The Glades

Today, you'll tee it up on The Glades, regarded by many as the finest golf course on the Gold Coast. Designed by Greg Norman, the 6420m Championship layout opened in 1999 and rapidly developed a reputation as the best golf course on the Gold Coast. The facility features superb playing surfaces with unique “Creeping bent grass” greens that ensure a superior putting surface all year round. The Glades is on 65 hectares of land with a total of 98 bunkers. Norman not only had a vision to create a challenging golf course on the Gold Coast, but he also retained 9 hectares of wetland area to create a natural wildlife sanctuary within the course.

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

REST DAY - OPTIONAL GOLF. WEDNESDAY

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 3/4 (Split fields) Thursday/Friday

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.

Round 3/4 (Split fields) Thursday/Friday

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.

“The work that goes in behind the scenes to make this event run so smoothly must be huge. But it is really appreciated. It’s great to just turn up and have everything organised for you. It’s a great, well organised event playing nice courses with great people.”

Nathan

2022 Entrant

FRIDAY Evening

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 as some usual tasty ‘side action’ between teams.
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.
