Golf NSW Launches Club Support Service

A NEW Golf NSW Club Support Service was launched this week to support affiliated golf clubs in their operations.

Golf NSW has secured the services of experienced Club Managers Graham Christian (past General Manager of The Lakes Golf Club) and Rod Davies (past General Manager Cromer Golf Club) as Club Support Officers to deliver a Club operations advisory service.

“It gives me great pleasure to introduce the Golf NSW Club Support Service and our Club Support Officers to our member clubs,” said CEO Stuart Fraser.

In 2013 Golf NSW conducted a full Governance and Structural Review to investigate how it can better adopt an appropriate governance structure that will ensure its continued relevance and effectiveness for its members and golfers. An outcome of the review is the Golf NSW Strategic Plan 2014-17 in which a key focus is “Enhanced Club Health.”

“It is our goal to provide more benefits to our members, with the aim to grow the game for all. However, some clubs face real and immediate challenges. This vital service will help Clubs optimize their day-to-day operations, which will hopefully result in more people playing more golf.”

At the request of a member Club, Golf NSW will provide this complimentary service to clubs as an affiliation benefit. A Club Support Officer will determine the most effective way to assist the Club. This in most cases will include an onsite visitation/consultation, resulting in an operational review and report being presented to the Club for consideration.

Golf NSW was thrilled to secure the services of Christian and Davies and believe golf clubs across the state will benefit greatly from their extensive industry knowledge and experience.
