Will provided a comprehensive overview of the many and varied factors that need to be taken into account, citing examples from the golf club setting to illustrate several points, both positive and negative. Will’s presentation was particularly relevant be because the examples he used were well known to the audience. A keen golfer himself, Will is confident he is able to understand the link between a Club's course/s and the Clubhouse, and as a engineer and 'professional project manager', able to represent the best interests of a Club from the project management perspective.

  • History & Honour Roll –
    History & Honour Roll – Australian Men’s Stroke Play and Amateur Championship History In 1894 the Melbourne Golf Club (later known as the Royal Melbourne Golf Club) began holding an annual event known as the Victorian Golf Cup, held at the Lions of Caulfield. The 1894 event was played on 5, 7 and 9 November and was won by Louis Whyte, playing off a handicap of 6, with two woods, three lofting irons and a putter. After the formation of the Australian Golf Union (AGU) in 1898, the Victorian Golf Cup became the Amateur Championship of Australia and was held under the AGU’s auspices. Winners of the Victorian Golf Cup were recognised officially to be Australian Amateur Champions. Currently, the original Victorian Golf Cup trophy is awarded to the winner of the Victorian Amateur Championship. In 1906 the first 16 amateurs in the Open Competition played off for the Amateur Championship of Australia. The competition format was match play, each match being played over 18-holes up until the semi-finals and finals, which were played over 36-holes. In that year the first prize for the Championship was a gold medal and such trophy as may be provided by the AGU. Second prize was a trophy valued at two pounds and two shillings. In 1921, the Challenge Cup, presented by The Right Honourable Lord Forster, was awarded to the Australian Amateur Champion. In the early post World War II years there were no qualifying rounds, and all entrants played match play. In 1948, 149 players competed in the event.

    CHAMPIONSHIP PROGRAM 2017 Australian Men’s Senior Amateur Championship Royal Hobart Golf Club 10-12 October Host Club Details | Course Map Schedule | Competitors Prizes | Honour Roll WELCOME FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF GOLF AUSTRALIA On behalf of Golf Australia, I welcome all players, spectators and officials to Hobart for the 2017 Australian Men’s Senior Amateur Championship. We are delighted to be back in Hobart and we thank the Royal Hobart Golf Club for its generosity in hosting the event this year. Royal Hobart Golf Club hosted the event the last time it visited Tasmania in 2005, which saw New Zealand’s Rodney Barltrop win his third Australian Men’s Senior title. The course is sure to test all competitors and it is the only course in Tasmania to hold an Australian Open, which was won by Jack Nicklaus in 1971. This year’s championship welcomes top senior golfers from all over Australia, as well as Canada, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Switzerland and USA. We are sure to see some fantastic golf as players compete for the Kerry Packer Trophy to be presented at the end of the week. We would like to thank the Australian Sports Commission for its continued support of golf and to Golf Tasmania for its assistance. Thank you also to the volunteers who so generously give their time to assist Golf Australia in ensuring the championship is conducted smoothly. Wishing you all the best of luck for a successful few days in Hobart and I hope you enjoy the week.
