QUEENSLAND ON BOARD
WITH ONE GOLF
T
he move towards One Golf
continues to gain momentum
with the voting members
of Golf Queensland giving their
unanimous support.
One Golf will effectively bring all
participating state and territory
governing bodies under the Golf
Australia umbrella, freeing up
funding and resources to tackle the
sport’s biggest issues.
Golf Australia Chairman John
Hopkins said that with Tasmania
and the Northern Territory having
already formally joined GA, the
Queensland result was a “major
milestone and a very positive
result for the governance of golf in
Australia”.
“It is also a very significant step
forward to achieving a more
streamlined, cost-effective national model of
golf administration,” Hopkins said.
“We were very happy with the result in
Queensland, particularly to gain unanimous
support right across the state.
“The fact that we had such great support
from districts and clubs in Queensland gives
us a good level of confidence as we continue
the dialogue elsewhere.
“We’re very happy with how the process is
moving in South Australia and presentations
to clubs and districts in Victoria have also
been well received.”

Hopkins paid credit to Golf Queensland
chairman David Brett and the GQ board for
their contributions in ensuring One Golf will
result in a positive outcome for Queensland.
“David and his board deserve a huge vote of
thanks for their input into the new structure
and their feedback has always been helpful
and constructive.”
The consultation process will continue in
Victoria over the next two months and it is
hoped to have One Golf implemented in five
states and territories (Tas, NT, SA, Qld and
Vic) by the end of August.
