Member Survey

The Club recently received the results of the Member survey which was conducted in late March, and it was pleasing to see that more than 600 members provided feedback.  The Board and Management are presently reviewing this information and it is planned that an information session will be held in July.  Surveys of this type provide invaluable insights and very much assist the Club in guiding future decision making.  Again, thank you to those members who completed the task.

Vale – Ann Oxenham

It is with much sadness that the Club shares news of the passing of Ann Oxenham who was a long serving retired member and mother of current Member Sue Collins.  Ann will be fondly remembered and missed by many having been a member for over 35 years and played up until she was 80 years of age.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Sue’s family through this difficult time. 

Ann’s life will be celebrated on Saturday June 5^th / 10:30am at Pinnaroo Cemetery Chapel 285 Graham Rd, Bridgeman Downs.

Course Update 28th May

This week the team have again focused on general course maintenance, with some additional work completed on the two main projects, being the 22^nd hole and the maintenance shed upgrade.    

22^nd hole:

Over the past week there has been some additional tree lopping, concreting and the irrigation work has been completed. The irrigation upgrade will see double row irrigation installed, vastly increasing the area which will receive the necessary water to support the fairway changes. In the next two weeks we have 500+ tons of top-dressing sand scheduled for delivery; this will provide a suitable growing medium for the turf sprigs which will be planted in early June.  

Shed:

Monday was the final day in the old shed, with all remaining equipment being moved to the temporary compound at the rear of the Clubhouse. For Joel Ross, Brad Senior and myself who have spent decades working from that shed it was a nostalgic day.  Having said that, its demolition and the construction of the new facility will be the start of a new chapter for the Course Maintenance Team.       

Greens:

The Poa (oversow) is starting to mature and will continue to improve the putting surfaces over the coming weeks, with the base 328 grass recovering well.  Further remedial work will occur on selected greens where larger bare patches remain.  This task will involve plugs from the on-site turf nursery being inserted. The temporary green on the 22^nd will be in use on a permanent basis once the fairway is planted.   

Good Golfing.

Partnership & Sponsorship Strategy

Recently the Club completed an extensive review of its advertising and sponsorship capabilities and offerings.   As businesses look to re-activate in a post covid world, Keperra saw an opportunity to position itself as a conduit to it’s strong membership base for local small, medium and large Businesses.  The Club worked with an external specialist in evaluating it’s potential exposure points both within the Club and on the Course, as well as identify categories of local businesses that ideally would be a great fit for Keperra to partner with.  

Since late 2020, Management has been working to produce a Sponsorship Invitation which highlights the potency the Club holds within the North Brisbane area, the ability to target different demographics and deliver on a prospective partners commercial, brand and community engagement objectives.

The pitch Management is taking to market highlights the extensive work the Club does in the community, its reach and impact but also provides a snapshot of the demographics of the clubs membership, an element that often can become lost when we as members become focused on saving par.  Keperra Country Golf Club is a community based Club promoting an active and healthy lifestyle with friends, we support and contribute significantly to Charities in the local area, have strong governance, clear strategic direction and connect with many people from all over whilst facilitating over 90,000 rounds per year.  

The Club will be featuring in the local Hills and Everton Echo in the coming week promoting this new opportunity to external businesses.  Before this is released, the Club is welcoming any members looking to take advantage of the limited opportunities and enter into a Partnership (or explore what’s on offer) at the ‘ground floor’. 

We are seeking a total of 20 Partners/Sponsors at differing levels.  Three (3) sponsors have already been secured and soon to be announced with the Club in discussions with several others. 

For any member looking for more information on this exciting new initiative and to view the Partnership invitation, please contact Club Membership, Partnership and Hospitality Manager Michael Dash via marketing@keperragolf.com.au to organise a site tour and detailed discussion.
