FOUNDATION & HERITAGE FUND

The Glenelg Golf Club Foundation is committed to supporting, promoting and encouraging participation in golf through a variety of projects that stimulate development and growth, especially amongst our Junior Members. The reputation of our Junior Golf and Elite Player Development Program continues to be a positive asset to our Club.

The annual Foundation Golf Day was held in January 2023, the major fundraising activity for the year. The generous support from gold and silver sponsors Collins Adelaide and IWS respectively, as well as all other sponsors contributed $40,052. Raffles held during the year, including the Foundation Raffle and Winery Challenge Raffle also contributing $4,024. The support from Members donating and supporting these raffles was exceptional. Total funds raised for the Foundation during the 2022/2023 year totalled $51,169.

The 2022/23 membership year saw a new tier and funding structure to support our juniors, especially with tournament golf returning after COVID-19. The Foundation supported our Junior Members by contributing $20,409 towards tournament entry fees, individual lessons, Junior Tigers and highperformance clinics. The return of the annual junior trip to the

Australian Open was welcomed and introduced our juniors to the high level of Golf. The annual Junior Development Golf Day was also well attended, with our coaching team hosting clinics, 18 holes of competitive Golf and a casual BBQ involving families, and in total supporting our juniors with $11,215 through these two events.

We thank our Members for their continued support of our Foundation projects and fundraising initiatives. This ensures we can continue to provide our junior Members with the best development programs in Australia whilst also developing and improving our infrastructure and facilities.

Grateful thanks go to our three past Captains, Paul Duregon, Paul McGrath and Tony Martin whose fundraising initiatives enabled us, much earlier than originally planned, to proceed with a Pavilion between our 9th and 10th holes. This state of the art faciity will support Members enjoyment whilst on course and provide an additional venue option for functions. The dedicated fundraising efforts of this group raised approximately $300,000 in cash and materials.
