1.    Welcome and Apologies. The meeting was held in the TMGC Meeting Room commencing at 1.15 pm, with the President in the Chair.

 

Attendees: Gerry Moloney (President), Kevin Arnold (Vice-president, Simon Briggs (Captain), Ross Barnes (Treasurer), John de Jersey (Secretary), Katy Hewitt and Kristo Bradley.

Guests: Andrew Revie, Graeme Andrews.

 

2.    Professional’s Report. Andrew plans to employ a second-year trainee, Aaron Cameron, subject to a satisfactory interview. He is planning to run a night golf trial. Andrew noted that the fields for the King and Queen of the Mountain on April 20 were well subscribed. For this event, there will be no preferred lies. It is hoped that the Scenic News will run some coverage of the event. Andrew reported that he had to throw a group of young golfers off the course on the previous Sunday for bad behaviour. Thyme Lifestyle Resort are interested in running a nine-hole event, including lunch, for prospective clients. The MC approved this in principle with further negotiations about costs to be had. It was noted that Andrew Leventis is proposing TMGC for a trial of an automated alarm system for course safety. At present, the pro shop staff are responsible for blowing the air horn when play must be paused for bad weather (fog, lightning). In response to an insurance related question, Ross said that he had the Revie’s asset register.

3.    Greenkeeper’s Report. Graeme reported that he had sprayed fairways for insects and weeds. He is working to complete erection of the new tee signs. The green renovations are on schedule for the end of the month. Our new casual employee Isaac is proving valuable. Graeme is getting prices for a unisex toilet and associated septic system at the greenkeeper’s shed. He hopes for a delivery of the ag-pipe required to complete the drain behind the 6th green in the next week. A problem with the radiator on the new tractor has been repaired under warranty.  Many of the 226 trees and shrubs obtained on a grant have been planted, including koala trees. Graeme will meet with the fire warden over permission to burn the large pile of vegetation near the first green. A separate meeting will be held soon to discuss the best way to proceed with the proposed irrigation system (see below). Gerry has been negotiating with our insurance company about items to be included in our claim for tornado damage and hopes there will be a resolution soon.

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.

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.
