As we race towards the end of 2024, it has been another great year at Southern celebrating our 75th anniversary. Our course continues to evolve with the major works carried out on the 3rd and 4th last year really starting to shine as the vegetation matures. The day in day out playing conditions rival that of any course in Australia and we have grown our course team to 13 people, an all-time high, and hopefully we can continue to increase these numbers in the future.
Our Membership remains strong and our Waiting List has now grown to over 100 people with an approximate waiting time somewhere between 12 and 18 months.
Off the course, we have had an active year with social events culminating in the 75th Anniversary Cocktail Party in August which was attended by over 300 Members and guests. It was truly a night to remember.
As has been the case in the last two years, we are again running our Staff Christmas Fund this year. This is an opportunity for Members to show their gratitude towards our hard-working staff who are not allowed to receive any tips or gratuities during the year. I would encourage all Members to consider giving to our Staff Christmas Fund, so that we can show our gratitude and respect for the hard work they do day in day out.
These funds will be distributed to all our staff (except our Senior Managers) prior to Christmas, the number of staff covered is over 30 from all departments (Golf Shop, Course, Hospitality & Administration). As most will get to enjoy some time off over Christmas, our staff will be back from 6.00am on Boxing Day and working right through including the Australian Master of the Amateurs which starts on January 2nd.
This year we have payment links below via the Club’s Stripe Account, which is safe and secure for all our online transactions.
We appreciate any support that can be given on top of what the Club already contributes to our staff at Christmas time.
