GOLF MONTH 2017 IS YOUR CHANCE TO SHINE! Golf Month, Australia’s national campaign to drive golf participation and encourage take-up of golf club memberships, is back this October! It’s your chance to take advantage of a national marketing campaign, promote your club, engage your local community and attract new members by running an activity of your choice during October 2017. Get on board for 2017 – it’s expected to be the biggest and best yet. Last year, 435 clubs and facilities across Australia took part in Golf Month. Each year, it’s making a bigger contribution to participation in Australia and, in turn, is becoming more attractive to commercial partners. The website will be live by 16 June, so look out for a communication from the Golf Month team. This communication will include a Golf Month 2017 fact sheet, which explains how and when Golf Month will be promoted and gives you some ideas for welcoming, social, fun and inclusive Golf Month activities. From there, it’s easy to get involved. All you will need to do is plan your Golf Month activity and upload it to the clubs and facilities portal on the website. Golf Month will once again be a nationwide celebration of golf, and this year there will be some truly incredible prizes to incentivise club members and regular golfers to share their love of the game and take friends, family and colleagues along to Golf Month activities. We’re looking forward to sharing the campaign with you! Please contact the team at [email protected] if you have any questions 34 I GOLF MANAGEMENT AUSTRALIA I WINTER EDITION 2017
