Bushranger Golf Event Management Services

Bushranger Golf offers comprehensive golf event management for your charity, corporate or social golf day. We can manage all the details of your event so you can spend your time the way you want to: enjoying your day on the golf course with your clients, mates and colleagues.

• Venue booking including tee times, golf carts, catering and more
• Customised travel and stay & play packages
• Trophies, prizes and charity auction items
• Customised merchandise: logoed shirts, caps, golf balls, etc.

We work with you to create a personalised welcome page on the BRG website for your event to greet your players, we manage invitations, player registrations & RSVPs, we create detailed event programs with personalised profiles on every golfer and we offer a range of pre-event information to aid the management and organisation of the day. After the event, your personalised webpage will feature a wrap-up and galleries covering the highlights, the winners, the tragedies, the scores, the drama, the sights, sounds and smells of what made your golfing adventure memorable for your group.

Most importantly, our strategic partnerships with courses, vendors and suppliers means that you'll get better value (and lower costs) than if you organised the event yourself, which translates to better prizes, higher quality golf courses, smoother event management and a more enjoyable time for you and your players.

In April 2007, Bushranger Golf managed its first corporate golf day for The Melbourne EO Group. The Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) is a global community of business owners who run companies that exceed US$1M in revenue. Founded in the late 1980s by young, energetic entrepreneurs, EO now has over 6,000 members in 40 countries. Members share a common desire to grow their businesses, share experiences and learn from others. The Melbourne chapter engaged Bushranger Golf to manage their first social golf day.

BRG Charity Golf Events

Bushranger Golf assisted with the development of The AFL Life Members & Premiership Players Charity Golf Classic in support of The Reach Foundation and the Prostate Cancer Research Fund. Reach works with young Australians in five states to help them improve their self-belief and fulfil their potential by gaining a greater sense of control over their lives. AFL Brownlow Medallist Jim Stynes (OAM) is a co-founder and the CEO of Reach. The Prostate Cancer Research Fund is a charitable trust that provides funds to the Royal Melbourne Hospital and the University of Melbourne, for laboratory and clinical research into prostate cancer.

The event was developed with the generous support of both the AFL Life Members Association and the AFL Premiership Players Club. Past AFL players donate their time to play in a four ball ambrose team with three members of the public over 18 holes at the 13th Beach Golf Links. The event participants have the option of staying on-course at the Hawthorn Suites apartments after the fully catered dinner and charity auction in the evening.

Reach, the Prostate Cancer Research Fund and Bushranger Golf gratefully acknowledge the generous support of the AFL Life Members Association, the AFL Premiership Players Club, Jack Collins, Cadbury-Schweppes, Brown Brothers wines, the Austereo network, bwired, The Golf Clearance Outlet, The Hawthorn Suites, 13th Beach Golf Links and 1116 SEN.
