Mount Macedon Golf Club announced as 2022 'Visionary of the Year'

Golf Australia has acknowledged how far the Mount Macedon Golf Club has come from its destruction 40 years ago in the Ash Wednesday fires and has crowned the Golf Club - 2022 Visionary of the Year for their work as allies in getting more women into golf.

In recent years, 10 male committee members at the club have shown an exceptional example of how men can be powerful allies in making golf a sport for all by working with new women at the club. It has also been a shining example of how a small, regional club can overcome common barriers associated with its size and location.

Marcus Ward, club secretary and Bruce Fraser, committee member were invited online to learn if the club had won the 2022 Visionary of the Year.

Ward enthused “this is all so wonderful. The success of our on-going programs and result is thanks to a whole of community effort including club volunteers, members and committee, the Dalhousie District, the entire Macedon Ranges community and local press.”

Golf Australia thanked all those who submitted nominations throughout 2022. One lucky voter won a $500 Drummond voucher and has been notified by email.

Golf Australia advise they look forward to capturing and sharing many more inspiring Visionary of the Year stories in 2023.
