The Golf NSW Club Support Service was launched in July 2014 to advise affiliated golf clubs needing expert assistance in key areas of their business operations.
“It is our goal to provide more benefits to our members and to grow the game for all. However, some clubs face real and immediate challenges. This service will help Clubs optimise their day-to-day operations, which will ultimately result in more people playing more golf,” Stuart Fraser, CEO of Golf NSW said.
Golf NSW offers  expert assistance and solutions packages in several key areas to affiliated clubs across the State: (click on the title below to go to the section)
At the request of a member Club, Golf NSW will provide these complementary services as an affiliation benefit.
Golf NSW has retained the services of a number of industry experts who are equipped to assist clubs in most areas of Golf Club operations.Â
Analysis by the members of our Club Support Service Team will in most cases include an onsite visit and consultation, with an operational review/assessment provided to the Club for consideration.
All requests for the Club Support Service should be in writing, outline the reason for the request, and be addressed to Golf NSW CEO, Stuart Fraser at info@golfnsw.org.au.Â
Every not-for-profit organisation needs to have a constitution – a document that contains the rules of the organisation, describes its basic structures and processes and usually specifies:
An organisation’s constitution should be reviewed at least once every 3 years. To assist Clubs, Golf NSW has created a constitution template, which is gender neutral and can be used as a foundation for your Club’s constitution.
To obtain a copy of the template, contact Wynter Hines via e-mail at Wynter.hines@golfnsw.org.au

Irrigation water’s purpose is to carry oxygen to the roots of the plant. Higher oxygen levels in water improve the plant’s ability to photosynthesise, develop roots, resist pests and diseases, utilise nutrients in the soil, and withstand environmental and mechanical stress.Â
Nanobubble Technology’s Sports Turf Solution is a proprietary system that can increase oxygen levels in irrigation water from all sources, by creating nanoscopic-sized bubbles of oxygen gas in the water. Due to their incredibly small size, the bubbles are able to remain stable in the water without bursting, meaning better uptake of oxygen by the roots of the plant. This gives nanobubbles the unique ability to hold more oxygen in water, and to hold it for longer than traditional methods like jet aerators and paddlewheels.
