Welcome to Branxton Golf Club
The Branxton Golf Club Co-Op Ltd has come a long way since it was first established in 1921. The Ultimate Nine has challenged golfing greats such Billy DUNK, Laura DAVIES, Ian STANLEY, Peter LONARD, Nathan GREEN, Andre STOLTZ and many more. The signature event of the year must be the XSTRATA Coal LPGA Pro-AM. Boasting the very best Pro-AM outside of the metropolitan area, Branxton has been most fortunate to see a regular field of national and international golfers each year at this event. Ex club patron Michael Watson, himself an accomplished golfer, has been a member for over 50 years along with several others.
Branxton Golf Course is a well maintained par 70, 9 Hole course. Alternate Tee positions are provided for most holes for an 18 hole game of 5547 meters. The course features two par 5's, 4 par 4's and 3 par 3's each with their own challenges. Additional tees are provided for Ladies competition.

STOP PRESS! Billy Slater to be Guest Speaker at the Branxton Pro-Am Dinner in January 2011
Slater is one of the game's most exciting players, with opposition defences often left wondering how he managed to elude them. Slater has also worked extremely hard in several areas of his game of the past couple of seasons, adding a kicking and passing game. The dazzling fullback can also be found at hooker during stages of games in order to give his skipper, Cameron Smith, a breather.

Isaiah Wolferstan - STATE Age CHAMPION
Subaru State Age Championships 2010
Isaiah Wolferstan, is now the 13 years JNJG State Age Champion 2010 after competing recently in the Jack Newton Junior Golf Subaru State Age Championships. The event is held annually and this year was played on the NSW South Coast at both the Catalina Country Club in Batemans Bay and the beautiful Mollymook Hilltop Golf Course in Ulladulla. Run over four rounds, the Subaru State Age Championships is arguably the most fraught after title on the Jack Newton Junior Golf program. To be able to play in this event, players must qualify and compete for the 310 positions available. Isaiah's first 2 rounds with scores of 79 and 81 enabled him to make the cut to play for the 13 years boys Cup and title of State Age Champion. His next round of 75, brought him into first place by 3 shots. His final day score of 77 gave him a 5 shot win and a total of 312 for the four rounds, and the title of 13 years Boy, State Age Champion.
Isaiah started playing golf in New Zealand at the age of 6. Moving to the Maitland area when he was 8, Isaiah continued to develop his golf skills as a member of Branxton Golf Club. He plays regularly in the weekly competition and is a member of the Junior Pennants team. He is also a member of Charlestown Golf Club. The next major event for Isaiah is the JNJG Muswellbrook Junior Masters, this month (August). Keep an eye on this young player, as we are sure to be hearing a lot more of him in the future and wish him every success in his goal of becoming a professional golfer.
This outstanding junior is on his way to a great golfing future.

ALPG Tour -KEMP GOES BACK-TO BACK WITH 4-SHOT WIN AT BRANXTON
(13 December 2009 - Branxton, NSW)
Forster-Tuncurry's Sarah Kemp recorded her second victory from her last two starts after she added a 5-under par 67 to her first round 68 to post a two round total of 9-under par 135. Her superb final round saw her overtake first round leader Jody Fleming, who could only manage a 1-over par 73, albeit finishing second, her best finish since turning professional last season. Last year’s winner Rachel Bailey posted a final round 3-under par 69 to finish in outright 3rd place on 4-under par 140.
With both Kemp and Fleming paired in the last group, it turned out to be virtual matchplay with Bree Arthur and Bree Turnbull falling away early in the piece. Both players started with a par at the difficult par-4 first, however, Fleming quickly lost the lead with a bogey at the 2nd while Kemp eagled the 3rd to move in to a one shot lead.
Kemp’s lead was extended after Fleming found trouble on the 6th hole to record a double-bogey and Kemp held a 2-shot buffer at the turn. From there on it appeared as if it would be ‘by how many?’ for Kemp. She added three birdies on the par-5’s around the back nine to skip to a four shot lead with just the 18th hole to play. She made a regulation par there to post her 7th ALPG victory and her second in a week.
Asked whether she expected to win being the red-hot favourite, she said, "No, I have had to play really well to win the events I've won. I don't want to put pressure on myself." Her score of 67 was surprising even to the rising star as she expected "the scores to be three-to-four shots worse than yesterday. Anything under par would have been good enough I think."
The ALPG Tour moves into the Christmas Break with three Pro-Ams in January before the ActewAGL Royal Canberra Ladies Classic kicks off the run of five major events on 28 January 2010.
Ed. Jody Fleming set a new Professional Course Record on Saturday with a round of 66.
