MUNRO QUAICH

Presented by Dr RM Munro in 1973. 

To be played on Sunday 8 June 2025. 

As Captain Jenny Carden noted in her most recent Captain’s Corner article, we are a club — not just a golf course — and members are encouraged to mix, make new friends and participate in trophy events. Camaraderie matters as much as competition. In that spirit, members are warmly invited to enter the Munro Quaich — a 'partners drawn' mixed Canadian Foursomes competition, exclusive to members and played on the Sunday afternoon of the King’s Birthday weekend.

Entries are open.


IN THE GOLF SHOP - NEW ARRIVAL: 

CALLAWAY max stripe putter

Greens at Barwon Heads can be both a joy and a challenge — subtle breaks, coastal breezes and tightly presented surfaces demand confidence over the ball. The new Callaway MAX STRIPE putter is designed with these conditions in mind, offering a level of forgiveness and stability that may suit those looking to steady their stroke on firm, fast greens.

Its most distinctive feature is a bold white alignment aid that sits atop a raised centre section — helpful for those who favour a clear visual cue when setting up. The centre-shafted, toe-up balanced design encourages a stroke that stays square to the path, while the Ai-ONE insert combines an aluminium backer with Callaway’s renowned White Hot urethane face to promote consistent pace, even on off-centre contact.

Paired with a lightweight Stroke Lab shaft and oversize grip, the MAX STRIPE provides a solid, confidence-inspiring feel in hand.

If your putting could use a quiet boost ahead of winter golf, speak to the team in the Golf Shop about trying it on the practice green.

tip from the pro

By Mark Delaney

Staying Connected Throughout Your Golf Swing

Staying connected is so important to create consistency and repetition with your golf swing. So, what does staying connected really mean, it is essentially about keeping your arms, body and club moving together and in sync during your swing rather than acting independently.

When you lose that connection for example it can stop body rotation, this allows the arms to take over and this causes inconsistent contact and unpredictable results.

Focus on staying connected throughout your golf swing keeping everything working together in unison which will give you more rhythm and flow with better results.

The Towel Drill

Take a small towel and place it across your chest and tuck both ends under your arm pits then do a practice swing. If the towel drops, this means your arms aren’t moving together as they should. The goal is to keep the towel in place throughout your swing.

Always start with half swings, then three quarter, then full swings at 70 percent pace! This drill is perfect for chipping, pitching and full swings. Remember, don’t let the towel drop!


Trackman

Take advantage of the Club's Trackman technology and the professionals will provide you with a club fit that is sure to improve your game. Please call us to make an appointment with one of our qualified club fitters.

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.
