Dear Member
Please find following a link to the proposed updated Bylaws which the Board will adopt at the Board Meeting on Tuesday 20 August 2024. Questions on the process and on any Bylaw may be raised from the floor at the AGM on Wednesday 28 August 2024. Please note that no amendments will be accepted at the AGM. The Board has the authority to adopt any Bylaw (excluding those relating to Membership) without putting it to a vote (cl 12.3.1 of our Constitution); however, a member may seek to set aside a Bylaw by a majority vote at the AGM.
Feedback on the Bylaws (including any suggestions for modification) is welcome and will be considered by the Board but must be provided in writing (including email) to the Secretary no later than 5.00 p.m. Friday 16 August.
Please also note that there are no proposals at the AGM to alter any Bylaws or the Constitution that pertain to membership.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Glenn Doolan and Harold McNair who have overseen the recent modernisation of the Bylaws under the auspices of the Board. Their hard work is no doubt much appreciated by Members.

In the latter part of 2019 Trafalgar Golf Club launched a development program for women wanting to give golf a go.
The 8-week program, Tee Up @ Traf, was a resounding success with 21 exceptionally keen women bravely taking on the challenge as beginner golfers.
The journey from “I’d like to give golf a go” to putting a ball into a hole was a road well-travelled for these women. Faced with the nervousness that goes with being a beginner, meeting new people and learning the fundamentals of golf, they all reported the experience as being very positive in a relaxed non-threatening environment. Participants were well supported with expert coaching from Golf Australia Regional Development Officer – Darren Cole, PGA Instructor – Craig McIntosh, and Trafalgar Golf Club President – Stewart Cluning, in addition there was terrific mentor encouragement from friendly and welcoming club members.
Participants reported the following:
It’s been fun to be with a great bunch of ladies.
The sessions were really enjoyable.
I had no idea Trafalgar had such a beautiful well-maintained golf course.
The instructors have been great – very patient. Everyone has been very friendly and welcoming.
I was slightly reluctant to join up but did so because my husband was keen for me to try it and I have to say, as frustrated as I get (with myself) I am a little bit hooked. I have enjoyed coming out with a few on the girls on a Friday and with my husband on a Sunday and putting into practice what we have been taught the previous lessons.
Tee Up @ Traf 2019 received financial support from the VicHealth Active Club Grant program and the This Girl Can – Victoria campaign.
When the program concluded in December all participants were considering their next golfing destination. For some it may be as members playing mid-week or on weekends, others will take tentative steps with social play as green fee players or enjoying twilight golf and a meal at the clubhouse on a Thursday evening.
Following the huge success of the Tee Up @ Traf and Juniors golf clinics in 2019, Trafalgar Golf Club is considering new initiatives in 2020 that will enable others to enjoy a great course and friendly club atmosphere.
