The ASGA QLD Golf 2024 has been done and won, with close to 100 attendees taking to the course for a day of ‘fun in the sun’ at the beautiful Brookwater Golf & Country Club in Brisbane last Tuesday.

With 88 registered players, and quite a few more industry personnel attending to cheer from the tee offs to encourage participants as they played through, it was a great turnout for what is unquestionably one of the most eagerly-anticipated events on the ASGA calendar.

As usual, the format of the day was an Ambrose-style competition which prioritises fun and team participation over skill levels, making it ideal for everyone, no matter what their handicap. A range of prizes is up for grabs during the day, from ‘Nearest the Hole’ to the hotly-contested ‘Survival Ball’, keeping everyone on their toes. Following the game, prizes were presented over a delicious lunch at the course’s prestigious Club Rooms.

This year, Tri Vision took out the Winner’s trophy for the first time, after their team scored an outstanding 55.62 adjusted to take home the first place in a very close competition. They were followed by HVG at 56.37 adjusted, and then SEQ Signs at 57.12 adjusted. The ever-popular ASGA Members Draw went to Miles Plastics.

An undoubted highlight this year was the introduction of a new ‘Best Dressed’ award, inspired by some of the day’s more colourful characters. It was difficult to separate the sartorial splendour of Maurice O’Sullivan from team KRZ and Darron Ryan from Tri Vision, who ended up worthy joint winners of the inaugural prize.

Events like this would not be possible without sponsors, including Principal Sponsor HEXIS, ORAFOL who sponsord lunch drinks and prizes, Graphic Art Mart for the Survivor Ball and Franco Brotolin Tropy (NTP), Visual Connections who sponsored drinks and the on-course drinks cart, and to Novelty and Individual Hole sponsors ASMI, Bounce LED / Lettertech, Bentleigh Sign Group. CV Media and Signage, HVG, Mulford, Rowmark, SA LED, Shann, Signarama, SMIB Insurance and Spicers.

Damian Nielsen, ASGA Member & Events Manager and Queensland State President, says it was a fantastic day of fun and networking on a ‘wonderful course’.

“Brookwater is a fantastic venue and it was an absolute pleasure to see the connection and camaraderie made within, and between, the teams who took part today, so I’d like to send a huge thank you to everyone who took part,” he said.

“We are looking forward to our next Golf Day in Melbourne on 2 October, and are already well underway with planning for similar events on our 2025 Events Calendar.”
