Golf Event Management - Charity, Corporate & Social Golf Events

Bushranger Golf Events 

Bushranger Golf started operating golf events in 2006. As an official GAA handicap provider, we developed regular events we called Handicap Days that were official competition rounds with results on GOLF Link and prizes on offer. As we expanded, we offered these events in Melbourne and Perth. In 2008, we founded the Victorian Social Golf Club Championships (VSGCC), a State Championship contested between social golf clubs. As BRG was both the event manager and a club with teams entered, it became clear we needed to establish a separate event management entity to operate our events.

In 2009, BRG founders Matthew and Sally Pitt established Social Golf Australia (SGA) as a new entity in Australian golf. The intention was to transfer the majority of the events we operate to SGA. In 2009, SGA took over the management of the Australian Social Golf Club Championships, an event attracting golfers from around Australia to the Gold Coast every August. In 2010, SGA established The SGA Tour in Victoria, WA, NSW and SE Queensland. In 2011, we established an SGA Tour in Adelaide so that there are now separate SGA Tours in the capital centres in QLD, NSW, Vic, SA and WA. To see the event schedules for each State, go to www.socialgolfaustralia.com.au and click on the link to your State.

In essence, BRG and SGA now operate in partnership offering complimentary golf services. BRG is an official handicap provider aligned with Golf Australia to offer official GA Handicaps and GOLF Link numbers to golfers around Australia. SGA is a golf event manager offering official competitions to golfers in five States. BRG still manages several events - the social golf tournaments (listed below) held over weekends at different times each year.

Annual Golfing Getaways hosted by BRG & SGA

These events put the social in social golf and are all open to BRG golfers from around Australia to enter and enjoy. Matthew Pitt established Bushranger Golf (BRG) in 2006 and Social Golf Australia (SGA) in 2009. Some of the events here were developed by Bushranger Golf and some have been founded by SGA. The events are all held at the same time each year and Matt hosts and attends them all. SGA's two premier annual events are The SGA International and the Australian Social Golf Club Championships (ASGCC), but all the events are fun and attended by golfers who enjoy a hit and a laugh on great golf courses. Each event has a competition format plus trophies and prizes, but the emphasis is always on enjoying the golf, the company and the experience.

* The first two CCC's were at Barnbougle Dunes, the 3rd in Torquay and the 4th was in back in Tassie.
** The William Buckley Classic alternates annually between Barwon Heads and The Mornington Peninsula.

To enter these events, contact Matthew Pitt at matt (at) bushrangergolf.com.au or 0425 742 501 or (03) 5433 3213.
