As 2017 comes to a close we would like to recognise and celebrate the achievements of our dedicated volunteers .
The Queensland golf industry relies heavily on the thousands of volunteers that freely give time to support our sport . Volunteers work countless hours and cover a multitude of tasks from gardening to organizing competitions or leading the club ’ s direction as a board member . I propose that having great volunteers is what can make a good club great .
Due to volunteers having such immense value to a golf club or , for that matter , an organisation like Golf Queensland , it makes good sense to make every effort to retain them . A great way to encourage a volunteer to continue is to provide recognition .
At Golf Queensland we want to ensure volunteers are properly recognised . To assist this , we encourage our clubs and Districts to nominate their volunteers to our Volunteer Recognition Program . This is an easy process and all volunteers will receive a certificate of
appreciation from Golf Queensland . This can be presented at a District AGM or the club may choose to present it themselves at an appropriate occasion .
Also , nominations for the Volunteer Recognition Program are automatically included in the judging for the Queensland Golf Volunteer Award presented in March every year at the Queensland Golf Industry Awards . Details of the nomination process are available on the Golf Queensland website here .
I would emphasise our experience has been that volunteers are delighted to be recognised in this way . Remember , the only cost in recognising a volunteer is your time !
I trust you enjoy this season ’ s Q-Golf Online and take the time over summer to get out and play more golf .
Happy golfing !
