  • History of Royal Cromer Golf Club Established 1888
    History of Royal Cromer Golf Club established 1888 Information obtained from minute books, letters, members records, journals and periodicals. Royal Cromer Golf Club History Established 1888 Royal Cromer Golf Club owes its existence to the enthusiasm and love of the game of a Mr. Henry Broadhurst M.P., a Scot who lived at 19, Buckingham Street, The Strand, London. In the 1880's, whilst holidaying in Cromer, he recognised the potential of land to the seaward of the Lighthouse as a possible site for a Links Course. The popularity of North Norfolk at this time had been noted in the London City Press in a report dated 5th September 1886: "The public are greatly indebted to railway enterprise for the opening up of the East Coast. More bracing air and delightful sands are not to be found in any part of England. The only drawback is that the country is rather flat. This remark, however, does not apply to Cromer, which bids fair to become the most popular watering place, it being entirely free from objectionable features". The site of the proposed golf course was owned by the then Lord Suffield KCB, who kindly consented to the request of Broadhurst and some twenty other enthusiasts to rent the land. The Club was instituted in the Autumn of 1887 with Lord Suffield as President. Doubtless it was his friendship and influence with the Prince of Wales which precipitated the Prince's gracious patronage of the infant club on 25th December 1887. Thus Cromer had a Royal Golf Club even before its official opening the following January.

  • LADIES GOLF in QUEENSLAND a Journey Through the Decades 1950S — 2010
    LADIES GOLF IN QUEENSLAND A Journey Through the Decades 1950s — 2010 Golf is a game for life. Welcome to this story covering an era when women had their own national and state bodies, guiding the development of women’s golf with wisdom and expertise. Information and valuable knowledge was circulated to the golf clubs by these national and state bodies, ensuring all players, both junior and senior, were nurtured and supported. This is a personal story in which you will read about the culture of golf during this era, the work of the Australian Ladies Golf Union and the Queensland Ladies Golf Union, the major tournaments and promotions, my introduction to the game and my lifetime involvement as a player and as an administrator. Pam Langford — July 2021 Contents The Story Begins 1 The Culture of Golf — Early Days 2 Administration 4 The Australian Ladies Golf Union 6 Major ALGU Promotions and Tournaments 7 International Events 8 Major Queensland Tournaments 9 My Role as Delegate to the QLGU 10 The Story Concludes 14 The Story Begins To tell this story I have to start when I first became aware of the game of golf. I was about 10 to 12 years old, during the early 1950s, and my parents, George and Agnes Tait, talked and played golf as often as time would permit. My dad owned a Sports Store in Brisbane - Tait’s Sports Store - located in the Public Curator’s Arcade in Edward Street, Brisbane. Dad was a very keen sports person and before playing golf he was a State ranked tennis player.

  • 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.

  • Australian Disc Golf Annual Report 2015
    Pine Lines, WA Granite Mountain, QLD Jindabyne, NSW Curtin University, WA Australian Disc Golf 2015 Annual Report President’s report Disc Golf in Australia saw some fantastic milestones achieved in 2015. Tournament attendance reached record numbers, new courses were installed in nearly every state and the sport was included in a schools program throughout the whole year. The ADG Tour kicked off with the Aussie Open, brain child of Chris Finn, the first PDGA major in the southern hemisphere. Attendance from some of the top pros gave Australian Disc Golfers the chance to see first-hand the level of play they are capable of. The Australian Disc Golf Tour was very well attended in 2015. The tour returned to South Australia after an 8 year hiatus. A very keen and motivated local crew put on an event in the historical town of Gawler (North of Adelaide), Australian Disc Golf is looking to support South Australia with additional events in 2016. The Gold Coast continued where it left off last year and had another big event, with travellers coming from around Australia. There were also record attendances at the NSW Open, Vic Open and QLD Championships. The future of events in Australia is looking very bright indeed. After the successful trial of a 3 day Australian Disc Golf Championships in 2014, this year’s event will again be run over 3 days at the Poimena Disc Golf course in Hobart. Tournament Director Richard Sampson has been working hard on making sure this is one of the best events yet. The ADG also implemented some changes to the Australian Disc Golf Tour for 2016.
