The 2024 SGA Championships
Palmer Gold Coast, Links Hope Island, Lakelands, Brookwater, The Glades and RACV Royal Pines.
August 25-30, 2024
Welcome to the 20th Annual SGA Championships.
This event is a National Championship for golfers who embrace the spirit of fun and enjoyment of the game and its people. It is an official golf tournament played according to the rules of golf with respect to the traditions and etiquette of the game and with an emphasis on enjoying the challenge of golf in the spirit of good sportsmanship with just a dash of socialising afterwards.
This event was founded at Palm Meadows Golf Course in 2005 as The Australian Social Golf Club Championships (ASGCC). SGA took over hosting the event in 2009 and in 2016 we re-branded the event to The SGA Championships.
We are delighted to have Palmer Gold Coast kick-off the event with our fun Ambrose Day, followed by four great Gold Coast courses for the tournament proper: Links Hope Island, Lakelands, The Glades and RACV Royal Pines. We are also thrilled to have Brookwater GC on board for our optional Rest-Day round.
Sincere thanks to our long-term sponsors Garmin, Srixon & Cleveland Golf and Heathcote Winery, our new sponsor MGI Golf, and continuing sponsors Drummond Golf and The Card Network, for their ongoing support and contribution to the prizes, trophies and giveaways. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank our Minor Sponsors in 2024: Gold Coast Direct Charters (gcdirectcharters.com.au), and Jondo Sunglasses. Finally, we would like to thank The Mantra Legends Hotel for their support in this year’s Championships.
In the last six years, the main emphasis of the competition has been the individual grades, but we have always retained the team event. We have trophies and prizes for the best team and the daily prize pools also reward the leaders in the individual grades.
Each year at the Presentation Dinner, we hold a raffle to win an amazing prize. This year, we are delighted to offer the winner a $2,500 voucher towards one of SGA’s range of major trips and tours we are hosting during the remainder of 2024 and throughout 2025. The voucher can be redeemed for any of our major trips, so it represents SGA’s continuing dedication to providing value, flexibility and choice.
In this year’s raffle, we are also thrilled to include some prize vouchers to The Mission Hills Masters – Hainan Island. This Major Event, presented by SGA and AYM Golf Tours, is set to be one of our most exciting overseas tournaments – and could one day equal the SGA Championships in size, prestige and fun.
As we play the 20th year of the Championships, we are mindful of the legacy of this event: the fun that has been shared, the memories that have been created and the friendships that have been forged over the years. We extend to you a warm welcome to the 2024 SGA Championships. We wish you the best of luck in the event, we trust you will enjoy your golf in the spirit of the game and please ensure you have loads of fun and enjoy the ride throughout the week.
To the Founding Members, we are all in your debt for playing in the inaugural Championships and getting the event started. To all past champions and competitors, welcome back, good luck and have fun!
