staff news - Welcome Charlie

Retail Assistant / Range Attendant

I'm thrilled to be joining the Barwon Heads Golf Club community!

I'm a Barwon Heads local, currently living at University College in Melbourne while completing a double degree in Accounting and Commerce at RMIT. Since returning from my gap year in London, I’ve dusted off my dad’s golf clubs and started playing a few rounds myself. I’m keen to keep improving my game—though at times it feels like I’m going backwards rather than forwards!

Following most sports, I’m always up for a chat—whether it’s about Oscar Piastri’s performance on the track, the Denver Broncos' brilliance last Sunday, or why Bailey Smith is going to win the Brownlow.

Looking forward to meeting and getting to know you all!

taylormade spider zt

Ultra-stable performance with reimagined alignment

The next evolution of Spider putters is here, combining trusted performance with a high-MOI foundation. A 303 stainless steel front and 6061 aluminium back deliver optimal CG placement and enhanced stability.

The KBS shaft is aligned with the CG, creating a toe-up design for added consistency. Paired with a SuperStroke 1.0 Pistol grip, it promotes forward shaft lean and reduced loft at impact. The True Path™ Alignment and Surlyn-aluminium Pure Roll™ insert further enhance feel, roll and sound.

Speak to one of our professionals for more information.

get winter ready

As we head into winter, preparation is key to maintaining your performance in changing conditions.

We stock waterproof jackets and bags, rain gloves, beanies and more to help keep you and your equipment warm and dry.

Now is also a good time to check your grips—worn or slippery grips can cost you strokes. Speak to the team about getting your clubs regripped.


Golfers' marquee 

Hours of Operation

The marquee closing time varies slightly depending on demand, with staff rosters aligned to the golf timesheets. (The aim is that the majority of golfers finishing their round still have the opportunity to enjoy a refreshment afterwards.)

On quieter afternoons or when poor weather impacts golf, the marquee may close a little earlier than usual.

tip from the pro

By Craig Bonney

Perfect your Setup!

Having the correct setup is crucial for allowing your body to work dynamically.

Key points:

  • Sharp angles in the body to start with will help to create a sharp turn. Weight should be on the balls of your feet, slight knee flex. Bottom out, sharp back. Arms hanging from the sockets. 
  • Hips should be inside feet width for stability.  A right-handed golfer should see their left pocket in the setup. 
Now we are ready to move like an athlete!

Poor posture, weak pelvis, bottom in, rounded back. Recipe for non athletic motion.

If you tick these very important boxes and you are on the way to better golf!

Forgotten your battery?

Our MGI buggy batteries are stored in a fireproof cabinet in the rear car park behind the Clubhouse. Due to restricted access while the Clubhouse remains a construction zone, we are unable to retrieve electric MGI buggy batteries at short notice.

If you arrive without your battery or it runs out on the course, we will not be able to provide a replacement. However, with the assistance of Alchemy staff, electric buggy hire is available if booked by 5pm the day prior.

We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
