Notice of Forum
Kingston Heath Golf Club, Kingston Road Heatherton
12 Noon Monday 16TH March 2015
(Sandwiches, tea & coffee will be served from 11.30 am.)
The first forum for the year of the GSA Golf Club Historians Society is scheduled for Monday, 16TH March at Kingston Heath Golf Club. Your assistance in promoting this event to fellow interested golfers would be appreciated.
These forums have now been running for some years and are attracting increasing numbers of participants. Their aim is to help and encourage club representatives and others interested in golf history to preserve, publicise and document club histories or to commence sorting and collating whatever may already be available at their club.
A more recent forum innovation has been to exhibit and discuss the identification, preservation and use of hickories in special events.
The forums also provide an opportunity for fellow golfers interested in the history of the game to exchange views on all matters pertaining to the history of golf in Australia (especially in Victoria) and assists the Society in its endeavours to expand it’s database on early golf in Australia. This database is a resource that is available to all golf historians and researchers.
If you wish to attend or require more information, please phone 0417 560 669 or email the golfsocietyaust@gmail.com by Tuesday 10th March 2015.
