2014 Annual Report now available

It gives me great pleasure to present the 2014 Captain’s Report, and Financial Accounts for the year ended 31st December 2014, to members of Glenelg Golf Club.

The year started on a positive note with Golf Australia Magazine again passing accolades about our golf course in their biennial Top 100 Australian golf courses, with Glenelg one of the only courses to rise up the rankings to 28th position.  A fitting recognition of the quality of our challenging golf course, which continues to be presented in outstanding condition, day in, day out.

Accolades continued throughout 2014 with the Club named “Best Golf Club” at the Clubs SA Awards night and “Best Club Reception Venue” at the ABIA Awards night.

Financially, 2014 was a very strong year with the Club posting a net operating profit of $142,882, driven by record food and beverage sales, both through our burgeoning function business and our increasingly popular Pinehill Bistro operations.

The Club won a third straight Women’s Grade 1 pennant and our Bonnar Cup team also tasted victory, their first since 2008.

An aggressive capital improvement program, supported by strong cash flows, saw the Club’s ageing irrigation pumps replaced, refurbishments undertaken to the kitchen, improvements made to the driving range and the construction of a new practice putting green, among many other projects.

Membership continues to be steady with new initiatives introduced during the year and revenue being maintained at sustainable levels.  However, it remains the most challenging part of the Club’s operations and we are continuing to work on new strategies in this important area.

Our golf operations department continues to provide service second to none in Australia with our highly respected team of teaching professionals always available to help improve our golf game so that we can continue to enjoy our rounds with friends and family.

I hope you enjoy reading about the activities of the Club in 2014, and I look forward to seeing many of you on our wonderful golf course in the coming year.
