Voted Top 3 – PGA Regional Pro Am Of The Year

Voted Top 3 – PGA Regional Pro Am Of The Year
On Thursday 20th October the Club was invited to attend the PGA Awards Night as we were named as finalists in the 2022 Regional Pro Am Of The Year. While the Club didn’t win first place we are very pleased to be recognised as one of the top 3 regional Pro Am’s in the state.
 
Dealer principal of Gippsland BMW (major sponsor of the event), Glenn Chenoweth, was very pleased with the nomination and said it is a great product to showcase his business here at the Warragul Country Club and throughout Gippsland.
Whilst not being able to attend the evening, Chief Operations Manager, Heath Jones, was also proud to have this event recognised by his fellow PGA peers.
 
“This nomination is a huge reward to all my function & events, grounds maintenance and golf operations teams for the tremendous effort they put into this event. It takes a great team to present a great event and it’s something we pride ourselves on delivering year in and year out.”
 
Representing the Club at the awards night and pictured below from left to right is Cameron McGrath (Gippsland BMW) Wayne Farnham (Club Men’s Captain), Glenn Chenoweth (Dealer Principal of Gippsland BMW), Kaye Rollinson (Club Chairperson), Mark Rayner (Men’s President) and Dale Bainbridge (Mercure Warragul).
