    Welcome to the new year at the Monash University Golf Club!

    This is the start of a new era for the Golf Club as '98 welcomes an entirely new committee as last year's committee has had to stand aside due to graduations and increased work loads.  I'm sure everyone would like to thank Craig, Georgia and Mayuran for all their hard work.
With that I'd like to ask everyone to bear with us as the new committee finds its feet.

The Monash Uni Golf Club is not just for the experienced golfer with over half of our members last year having never picked up a club before in there life.  So if you've always wanted to learn how to play, want to improve your handicap or just meet others interested in golf come along an join up.

Membership is just $10.  To join just come along to any of events and look for the committee (Dean, Sarah or Shannnon).  We are always around.  For that you get free lessons, driving range time and CHEAP golf!!

This web page will hopefully become the centre of information for the Golf Club so bookmark it now and come back regularly to keep up to date with everything going on in the Club.  This page will **hopefully** be updated at least once a week and all emails replied to quickly.
