BDGA helps clubs recover from floods
14 Jun 2011
Following the disastrous floods, the BDGA Management Committee agreed that some of it's reserve funds be distributed to the more severely affected clubs.
Initial advice was given to the BDGA Management Committee to suggest that the existing constitution did not allow for such donations. With the help of Club Delegates the constitution was amended to allow for donations of such kind. The club delegates also agreed in principal to a sum of money of $50,000 being distributed as a one off payment to those clubs severely affected.
After initial feedback from work carried out by Golf Queensland the BDGA management committee agreed based on a number of factors to distribute the $50,000 to the following clubs:
Wolston Park Golf Club $12,000
Jindalee Golf Club $12,000
Indooroopilly Golf Club $8,000
Brisbane Golf Club $6,000
McLeod Country Golf Club $5,000
Oxley Golf Club $5,000
Keperra Country Golf Club $2,000
The BDGA Management Committee and Delegates recognise that the money is well short of what is needed, however are pleased to contribute in any way to see golf clubs back up and running as quickly as possible.
