Queensland golf’s highest achievers of the past 12 months will be honoured at the Queensland Golf Industry Awards Night to be held at The Star – Gold Coast on Tuesday, October 25.
Represented by the PGA of Australia, Golf Australia, Golf Course Superintendents Association of Queensland and Golf Management Australia, the Queensland Golf Industry Awards Night acknowledges the achievements all finalists have accomplished in a period where the state has continued to see significant growth in the game of golf.
“It is wonderful to see that those individuals, golf facilities, programs and events that have assisted the game to continue its strong momentum can be recognised on our night of nights,” said PGA State Manager, Broc Greenhalgh.
“Our list of award finalists this year are a great representation of the high standards our state has come to expect in servicing our sport.”
Golf Australia State Manager, Luke Bates, explained how the evening is an opportunity to celebrate those making an impact from all corners of the industry.
“Traditional facilities servicing thousands of golfers play an integral role in the growth of golf but through the Queensland Golf Industry Awards Night we are also able to recognise the smaller facilities and less well-known individuals around the state,” said Bates.
The evening is truly an industry-wide event and as Golf Management Australia (QLD) President Aaron Muirhead explained, it’s an opportunity to recognise the efforts of those behind the scenes.
“The past 12 months have been challenging for many golf administrators, boards and golf club employees with government restrictions, busy courses as well as adverse weather adding to the pressures,” said Muirhead.
“The Awards Night allows us to celebrate those who have gone over and above to keep our facilities operating effectively, an opportunity that we look forward to each year.”
Golf Course Superintendent Association (QLD) President Paul McLean has also highlighted that the event is a wonderful way to bring the industry together.
“Our golf clubs reflect on achievements separately though to celebrate successes as an industry alongside peers and partners shows our sport’s positive culture we are so very proud of,” said McLean.
