·       Discussion of AGM on November 8.  It was noted that nominations closed 14 days before the AGM i.e. October 25. The nomination forms are to be put on the noticeboard on that day. It was also noted that it was probable that there would be a need for a secret ballot for the position of captain and for the three member positions. Carl Pierce will look after the membership list and handing out voting papers. Potential scrutineers have been approached.

·       Cart shed rent and electricity payment. It was noted that the previous CPI increase for Brisbane was 2.5% and it was agreed to increase the fees by this amount: from $459 to $470 for rental and from $175 to $179 for the electricity charge. It was noted that we did not increase these fees last year.

·       Kevin suggested that we could potentially buy the property on the left as you go up our driveway. It was agreed that Kevin could sound out the owner (Peter) to let him know the Club might be interested when he decides to sell.

·       Kevin said that the new buggy sheds are hot inside. It was agreed that we ask Liam to install a whirlybird. One should be sufficient to cover all sheds.

·       Glen McAtamney’s cart caught on fire and he used the fire extinguisher in the kitchen to put it out. It was agreed that we need to replace it and to put an extinguisher in Andrew’s shed. Andrew to be asked to proceed by Katy.

·       Titan certifier still needs to provide final certification on the new buggy sheds.

·       We need to be able to access all buggy shed keys in an emergency. Buggy shed keys are locked in a cupboard in the Committee Room, controlled by a lock box.

Minutes of Tamborine Mountain Golf Club AGM, November 8, 2025. The meeting had been called according to the Constitution and was held from 12 noon between the Saturday competition fields . Opening, attendance and apologies. The meeting was called to order by the President Gerry Moloney, in the Chair, at 12.09 pm, noting that a quorum had been achieved. The meeting was attended by 71 members, who signed attendance sheets and were given the voting paper. Voting for the position of Captain and for three Management Committee members was conducted as members arrived, signed in and were given a ballot paper. Apologies were received from Todd Blocksidge, Di Lilley, Alan Myers, John Youngman and Dion McRae. President’s and Captain’s Reports. The President’s Report had been pre-circulated. Highlights of the year’s activities were scrolled in a power point presentation. Gerry listed achievements including installation of a comprehensive irrigation system, construction of 11 new buggy sheds, completion of the new roof on the back deck and construction of a shelter shed and two hitting pads to facilitate lessons and practice in the practice tee area. Gerry thanked Team Revie, our greenkeeper Graeme Andrews, and the Management Committee especially retiring members. He also thanked all volunteers for their efforts, especially the mowing team (Barry, Roscoe, Maurie, Paul, Todd) and our sandman, Kristo. The Captain’s Report had also been emailed to members. A significant challenge had been moving to the Golf Connect system which was achieved with only minor hiccups. The two reports were moved by Gerry, seconded by Andrew Curtis, carried unanimously. Financial Report for the Financial Year Treasurer Ross Barnes spoke to the 2024-25 Annual Financial Report, which had been audited by Eagle Taxation. The report indicated that it had been a successful year and that the Club continued to be in a sound financial position. The report was moved by Ross, seconded by Terry Burke, carried unanimously. Election of Management Committee. The President Gerry Moloney, and the Vice-President, Kevin Arnold, are continuing into the second year of their two-year terms. Two nominations had been received for the vacant position of Captain (from Peter Arnesen and Scott Legge) and four nominations for the three vacant membership positions (Simon Briggs, Tony Cole, Katy Hewitt and Tim Kerr.) Warren Carseldine, Carl Pearce and Leon Radunz were appointed to serve as scrutineers for the ballots. The scrutineers’ report was announced by the Chair and showed that Peter Arnesen had been elected as Captain and Simon Briggs, Tony Cole and Katy Hewitt had been elected as Management Committee members. There was only one nomination for Treasurer, John de Jersey, and he was declared elected after a show of hands. Election of Chair of the Appeals Committee. John Youngman was nominated for this position from the floor by Kylie Bennett, seconded by Tony Cole. There were no further nominations and John was declared appointed after a show of hands. Election of Life Member. Gerry Moloney had been nominated to be a life member by Leon Radunz, seconded by Katy Hewitt. For this item of business, Gerry relinquished the Chair in favour of the Secretary John de Jersey. John noted that the nomination had been considered by the Management Committee, as required by the Constitution, and had been strongly endorsed. The nomination set out the great contributions Gerry had made to the Club over many years, including successful terms as Captain and President. The nomination was put to the vote as a Special Resolution of the AGM, requiring 75% support from members present and voting. A show of hands revealed this % had been easily achieved and Gerry was declared a life member by acclamation. Appointment of Auditor for the 2025-26 financial year. The President moved that Eagle Taxation be appointed, seconded by Andrew Curtis, carried unanimously. Financial Remuneration. The Constitution requires that any remuneration or other benefits given to any member of the Management Committee, to any of their relatives, to any senior employees of the Club and any of their relatives be disclosed to the AGM. The Chair told the meeting that no such remuneration or other benefits had been paid. The President closed the meeting at 12.24 pm. Minutes prepared by John De Jersey

Mastering your golf swing plane doesn’t have to be complicated. Think of it as your club traveling on an invisible ramp centered on you—a path that keeps your shots consistent, accurate, and powerful. When your swing follows this “plane” snugly from take-away to follow-through, you hit better shots more often.
