Ausnindo Trophy

    Dorset Golf Club

Historical

The Dorset Golf Club was inaugurated in 1894, when the Dorset Community Golf Course opened on the old Croydon Council tip site off Trawalla Road, Croydon in Victoria.  The first Professional and Manager was Bill Britten.

Over the past century, the numbers have ebbed and flowed, from a peak of 700 members in the early 1980's, down to 70 members, fifteen year later.  From 1999, with the effort put in by a new committee, the club has grown to around 250 members.  Most members are now either retired pensioners, weekend "hackers" or just starting out in golf.  For the average member, joining an exclusive private golf club is not a financially feasible option.

In 2003, Ausnindo-Asia/Pacific committed to a sponsorship agreement with the Dorset Golf Club.  The sponsorship provides for a perpetual trophy, held by the Club in the Clubhouse.  Custom designed for the event by world renowned designer, Tommy Hadiat, this unique trophy will become the property of the Club at the conclusion of Ausnindo's sponsorship.

Prizes for the winners of a Stableford amateur competition in the Men's and Ladies Divisions include for both winners - an embroidered, "Champion" monogrammed golf shirt, embroidered golf cap and gift voucher for $100.
