Isuzu QLD Open back this August
Golf Queensland recently
announced the Isuzu Queensland
Open would return to The
Brookwater Golf and Country Club
from 28 – 31 August 2014.
Chair of Golf Queensland, Peter
Castrisos, said the Championship
was successfully reinstated onto the
PGA Tour of Australasia in 2013.
“We are now looking forward to
capitalise on this success and grow
the championship further on and off
the course,” Mr Castrisos said.
“The Championship attracted higher
than anticipated entries with 320
golfers vying for a spot in the field of
only 120.

“We are proud of the results in
2013 which included working with
the PGA, Brookwater Golf and
Country Club and over 50 volunteers
to deliver the Championship that
attracted over 5,000 spectators.”
Mr Castrisos said the event proved
it could gain significant media
exposure for not only golf but for
the Ipswich region.
“A key priority was working with
children in the local region to
introduce them to golf. We achieved
this by engaging with 1,000 children
through schools and other activities
and intend to grow this further in
2014,” he said.
