Yea Golf Club – ‘Celebrating 100 years of Golf in Yea’

Yes, the Yea Golf Club is preparing to celebrate its Centenary in 2023!!! What an achievement – and reason to celebrate!!

Victorian Governor, Sir Dallas Brooks tees off on the 10th at ‘Royal’ Yea GC watched on by Jim Elliott, Bill Sizer, and possibly Con Hilderbrand and Ken Tobias – Pls contact Russ Wealands 0428 972 106 if you can help identify any of those in the photos on this page.

The Committee is keen to gather as many historical photos and stories from past Members and the Yea community that capture the many improvements and achievements that have been made or taken place during the last 100 Years.

Unfortunately, the Clubrooms were broken into some time back and history was lost so we’re putting out a call to past Members and the community to help re-build that loss.

If you hold old photos of the sand scrapes, sheep (aka original fairway mowers) grass green construction, building upgraders or social events at the Golf Club please contact Club Secretary, Vicki Clements on 0409 250 086 or email them to her at vcl60913@bigpond.net.au or to Russ Wealands 0428 972 106 / russ@wealands.net

All material provided will be scanned and returned in good condition. We need to re-build our history!!

A heads up – Pls put the date in your diary and keep an eye out for further details of our Centenary Dinner Dance coming up at the Yea Shire Hall on Saturday May 20th. In fact, keep the whole weekend free …. there’s more to come!
