A year of growth, teamwork and achievement
Trentham Golf Club has reported a vastly improved financial position at the Annual General Meeting on Saturday December 14. Hard work and some painful but necessary price increases resulted in a 37% increase in total income, with a profit of $67,642. After three difficult years of Covid, floods, damaging storms, irrigation breakdowns and corella damage, the club now has a much more positive outlook.
A major feature was the strongly increased income from green fees, competitions, tournaments and membership revenue. There were also healthy increases in income from the bar, advertising, sponsorship, donations and social club fundraising.
With grants and donations, the club is now only $25,000 short of its aim to raise $175,000 to renew the irrigation system and keep the greens and tees in a healthy condition. Installation of a new wireless, app-controlled irrigation stystem has already commenced.
President Alex Evered reported that "the work of our greens staff and volunteers cannot be underestimated and we’re incredibly grateful for all the time and effort they’ve put in to make this a good year. It’s been a year of growth, teamwork, and achievement. We still have work to do and costs to manage carefully, but our dedicated community and successful fundraising is keeping us on track".

A massive thank you to the Community Bank Trentham & Districts for their support, and a special thanks to Rhonda Holcombe and Jan Stephenson for their hard work, dedication and the development and presentation of the business case to the bank.
The club is now over two-thirds of the way towards the target of $175,000 to completely renew the irrigation system and provide for excellent green and tee conditions for years to come.
Trentham Course irrigation upgrade
Trentham needs a new course irrigation system. The old system has problems with leaks, damaged solenoid wires and poor coverage. It is prone to breakdowns, leaving sections of greens poorly watered and burning off in hot weather. A staged replacement with new wireless technology is planned to provide a reliable and modern irrigation system for the course. We are currently raising up to $175,000 for the complete work.
