New Victorian Golf League

Cephalxn · July 14, 2014

Hi Guys,

Not sure if this is the right forum to post this in, just trying to get the word out there about a fantastic new league beginning for the younger generation of golfers. All the information is on the Facebook page (if you don't have facebook, I've provided the info text below), and don't hesitate to ask any questions on the wall there. Thanks for your time :)

About

Australia's premier golf league for golfers aged between 18-35. Play Victoria's best courses at the best prices.

Description

Are you sick of

- playing the same course every week?

- paying high membership fees?

- being paired with random blokes for 5 hours?

- not being able to get a tee time?

- paying obscenely high green fees?

- playing social rounds that don’t mean anything?

We definitely were! That's why we decided to create Gen Y Golf.

We wanted to

- play competitive rounds

- with people in our age group

- at a variety of the best courses

- at the best prices

We've done the hard yards for you by negotiating the best green fee deals and tee times.

Living in Victoria, we are extremely lucky to have access to so many amazing courses, we want as many young golfers as possible, experiencing these fantastic courses... before they are turned into retirement estates.

Golf is an addictive sport and we love it. For it to thrive and survive we need more golfers in our generation, getting involved and experiencing the best it has to offer.

What you will get:

- Green Fees at 30% - 60% discounted prices.

- An official Golf Australia handicap, with access to Golf Link.

- Competition entry (stroke, stableford, ambrose) and novelty prizes (closest to the pin, longest drive)

- Trophies and great prizes for each event.

- Track how you are ranked within the league and nationally.

- Entry into the Order of Merit. Become the Number 1, Gen Y Golfer.

- Two Major Championships, held over two days

- Drink/bar vouchers.

- Complimentary carts (at some courses).

- Opportunity to meet great people. The 19th hole will be where legends are made.

- Access to 13 of the best courses in Victoria as ranked by AusGolf

How it works

- An event will be held every Saturday.

- 52 Events, Minimum 13 events to qualify for the order of merit.

How Much does it cost.

$189 Annual Fee (introductory price for first 100 members RRP $349)

You will make this back in green fee discounts, free stuff and beers within a month.

Interesting concept a Club-Med golf league:-)
I am in SA and too old so don't qualify, but would be interested to know which courses have 25 vacant tee times (assuming they get 100 members) on a Saturday. My course Is full until at least 12:30 with the members comp, even during winter.

Just an update from us

We have changed our focus on having a set age limit, as we realised that this is too constrictive. We still focus on trying to get the younger generation of golfers amongst it, however we also realise that there are plenty of golfers that are young at heart and would fit in anyway. Our website is now live, and will be updated accordingly. http://www.genygolf.com.au/

Other great news is that Taylormade are sponsoring our launch event! So a huge thankyou to them for getting on board.

Oh and one last thing that might be of interest, I'll copy our Facebook post below.

[b][color=#333333]"Quick poll? Who would be interested in playing Kingston Heath? Consistently ranked TOP 10 in the WORLD. 'The Heath' have confirmed if we get a group of 20-30 together, it's ours for the day. Tuesday October 7th is the tentative date. This i[/color][color=#333333]s truly a once in a lifetime experience. Below is my photo of Tiger on his way to victory at The Australian Masters in '09' (before his 'little secret' came out). Foundation memberships still available at [url="http://www.genygolf.com.au/"]www.genygolf.com.au[/url]"[/color][/b]

To anyone that has read this thread, thanks for your time

[color=#333333]HUGE UPDATE! We have just fundamentally changed the game of golf. GenYgolf has been approved by the VGL to run Cross-Course Statewide Weekly Competitions. Here it is in a nutshell. 4 GenY members play at Ranfurlie on Monday, 8 play at Herit[/color][color=#333333]age on Wednesday, 6 play at Cowes on Saturday ect ect. We will collate all the scores and turn them into a statewide weekly comp. There will be a forum on the website for members to arrange, discuss and compare rounds. It no longer matters where you play or when you play. Your round will mean something. This is the 'game changer' and is exclusive only to GenYgolf members. Share this post with every golfer you know and become a part of the golf revolution. Our vision is take golf out of the stone-age and make it enjoyable and accessible for all. We have decided to extend the $189 membership and $235 (membership and dunes) offer until July 29th. Sign up now at [url="http://www.genygolf.com.au/"]www.genygolf.com.au[/url] [/color]
