The mowing of the course and the operation of the bar is all handled by members giving up their time. I’ve even seen an “honour box” next to the first tee where you pay your Matt Toomey daily green fees.

Softball Australia and our Member States have been proactive in developing relationships and working with Indigenous communities and a variety of other interested or key stakeholders, including the Australian Government, the Australian Sports Commission, State Sport and Recreation Departments, National Aboriginal Sporting Chance Academy (NASCA) and Red Dust. 2 Photographer: Greg Heron Submission 012 - Attachment A Photographer: Greg Heron Let's play Softball 3 Submission 012 - Attachment A Softball Australia and our Member States have a long and proud history of promoting and delivering Softball to Indigenous communities. Our Indigenous Softball Program produces positive health and social outcomes by providing female and male Indigenous Australians of all ages and abilities with opportunities to participate in Softball – as players, coaches, umpires, administrators and volunteers. With Softball generally recognised as the preferred sport of Indigenous women, and becoming increasingly popular amongst Indigenous men, we are committed to expanding Softball programs in targeted urban, rural and remote areas across Australia. Over the next 12 months we will provide over 100 programs including Softball competitions, coaching and officiating training sessions, and junior development activities to more than 8,000 Indigenous participants. We will also work with local communities to help them become self-sufficient so they can develop and deliver their own events and programs. -

Blind Sports Australia Winter Newsletter
BLIND SPORTS AUSTRALIA A.B.N. 68 008 621 252 A Foundation Member of the Australian Paralympic Committee Newsletter Winter 2018 ~ 1 ~ From the Executive Officer Since our last issue of this newsletter, I have been inspired by so much activity that has been taking place in Blind Sports, at a local, national and International level. I think back to the Commonwealth Games and the efforts of Brad Henderson and Jessica Gallagher in their respective Sprint and Time Trial performances in track cycling and the wonderful gold medal by Lynne Seymour and Jake Fehlberg in the Mixed Pairs B2/B3 Lawn Bowls. I remember how exciting it was to watch these performances on live TV and streaming services and gain a sense of the atmosphere for these athletes performing in front of home crowds on an International stage. I also remember staying up late on a few occasions to watch all of our Aussie Belles and Aussie Storm matches at the World Goalball Championships in Malmo and to see the quality of these elite athletes taking part and the pace and precision of top level Goalball. I have also seen the tireless work of people such as Dave Connolly, who is so committed to cementing Blind and Vision Impaired Football into the sporting landscape in Australia. Dave ran a very succesful camp in Melbourne a couple of months ago and has another national camp taking place in Sydney this weekend, before taking the newly formed national sides on their first overseas invitational tours later this year. At a local level I have had the priviledge of connecting with the Victorian Goalball Association and had the chance to participate in my first match and also join the referee panel for local competition. -

Golf Australia
GOLF AUSTRALIA Level 3, 95 Coventry St South Melbourne VIC 3205 Telephone: (03) 9626 5050 Facsimile: (03) 9626 5095 Website: www.golf.org.au Australian Guidelines for the Approval of Amateur Golfers to Provide Instruction under Amateur Status Rule 5-2b as a part of a Golf Australia Compliant Program From the 1st January 2006 The R&A amended Amateur Status Rule 5-2b to read as follows: “An amateur golfer may receive expenses, payment or compensation for giving golf instruction as part of a Program that has been approved in advance by the Governing Body.” The conditions below provide guidelines for approving payment to amateur golfers for providing golf instruction as part of a Golf Australia compliant program. These conditions have been developed in consultation with the Professional Golfers’ Association of Australia (PGA). The intent of the change to the rule by The R&A is to encourage the greater delivery of programs aimed at introducing and/or engaging people in golf. Amateur golfers providing instruction MUST NOT conflict with the activities of a PGA member or the relevant State Golf Association. Amateur golfers must apply to Golf Australia for approval to receive payment for instruction as part of a Golf Australia compliant program under this rule. For approval to be granted, the amateur golfer must deliver a program which conforms with the definition of a compliant program, AND they must not perform instruction beyond what is permitted by these guidelines. Definitions: Instruction “Instruction” covers teaching the physical aspects of playing golf, i.e. the actual mechanics of swinging a golf club and hitting a golf ball. -
