Royal Melbourne Golf Club.
“Cheers could be heard across the golf course!” RM Pro Shop staff comments.
After weeks of rain and cold in Melbourne, we were greeted with sunshine and high spirits for our final event for the year at the prestigious Royal Melbourne Golf Club! Another sell-out event and a superb experience for all of our members and guests at Australia’s #1 golf course.
This event attracted members from Sydney and Adelaide, low handicappers, and first-day golfers all sharing their interest in business development opportunities, networking and improving (or learning) golf. Royal Melbourne provided a 5-star experience from the moment our guests arrived, with exemplary service, the very best golf hire equipment, and a healthy food and beverage selection throughout the day.
Playing the West Course was definitely a (challenging!) highlight of the day, but equally our guests commented on how thought-provoking and beneficial the message our guest speaker Rae Bonney provided, in her lively presentation over lunch. We’re very grateful to Rae for the important work she does in the mental health education and advocacy space, and love her newfound passion for the game of golf. Our members were thrilled with our new range of AWGN merchandise and sponsor gifts too, thanks to all that contributed to the success of this event!

Newcomers to AWGN golf day events often request to ‘skip the clinics as they don’t need the coaching’ and only want to participate in the on-course component. We explain that everyone can benefit from coaching regardless of how low their handicaps are and this was especially evident at our Royal Melbourne event where event the best golfers comments that our coaches improved an issue they were struggling with for some time. The professional female coaches we employ are among the best in the country and we’d love to take the opportunity to introduce them to those new to AWGN!

How important is coaching at our event days? We think it’s very important. Not only do you get the benefit of focussed golf clinics and on-course coaching with our professionals, you also have the opportunity to ask questions and get immediate feedback… plus they are always a lot of fun! We look forward to seeing you in February 2023 when our golf clinics and events resume on the Melbourne Sandbelt.
