As we head into another busy stretch of events, we wanted to share a few important updates, reminders, and opportunities across The Golf Collective. Events are filling faster than ever, so please take a moment to read through the notes below.
⚠️ Platinum Event Payments & Waitlists (Important)
This applies specifically to Platinum member event registrations.
Platinum event payments are processed within 48 hours of the event start time.
For events with heavy waitlists, these payments may be attempted right at or close to that 48-hour window.
If a payment bounces or fails, the system will automatically remove that player from the confirmed list, and the next player on the waitlist will be moved in.
This isn’t punitive — it’s about giving all members a fair and equal opportunity to participate as events continue to fill quickly.
Reminder: You don’t always need to select Pay Later.
Choosing the Member registration option processes payment immediately and can help if you’re managing cash flow while still locking in your spot early.
⭐ Now’s the Time to Be Platinum
Priority access is becoming more valuable by the week.
• Meadow Springs sold out two weeks prior, and due to demand we were able to add two extra tee times
• Majors are filling fast — we’d strongly recommend jumping on those early
With tighter fields across the board, Platinum priority is making a real difference.
⛳ Heads Up – El Caballo Two Ball Ambrose (Discounted Entry)
Sunday, February 8 | 8:00am
El Caballo – Two Ball Ambrose
Just a heads up for those planning ahead.
The course has advised that the greens will have been cored ahead of this round. As a result, El Caballo have offered a heavily discounted rate, reducing member entry from $75.00 to $55.50.
When hosting weekly events, it’s inevitable we’ll occasionally run into a cored course. Credit to El Caballo for looking after us with a meaningful discount — and we’d love to show our support by turning up in numbers.
Already paid the full entry fee?
Please email us and we’ll organise a refund of the difference.

🤝 Sponsors Wanted – Help Keep Entry Fees Down
We’re currently looking for sponsors across the following events and series:
• Division 1 Championship
• Ladies Championship

⛳ Tee Sheets & Tee Time Changes (Please Read)
We’ve received a few requests around shifting tee times, often when events are already close to full.
The new registration system is designed so members can select preferred tee times and playing partners upfront.
You can move into an available tee time if one opens up.
You cannot move into someone else’s allocated tee time.
Most members are using the system exactly as intended — locking in preferred times early.
We understand committing 2–4 weeks out isn’t always easy, but in Perth golf, early tee times are always at a premium.
Early bird gets the worm.
📘 Support for New & Improving Competition Golfers
We’re continuing to step up how we help members — particularly newer golfers — better understand competition golf.
If you’re unsure about rules, scoring, procedures, or just how things work on the day, please reach out.

🛍️ Online Shop – Restocked (For Now)
The online shop is fully stocked again:
🛒 shop.thegolfcollective.com.au
Order now and you can collect at Meadow Springs this Sunday
(assuming they haven’t sold out by the time you order 😅)
👕 Shirt Sponsor Opportunity – Autumn 2026
We’re looking for a vehicle dealer to partner with us on our Autumn 2026 shirt release.
The partnership includes:
• Dealer logo on every new release shirt
• One of each style (up to 4)
• Optional vehicle displays at select events (including majors)
If this sounds like a fit, let’s chat.
🚫 Fair Play Reminder
Cheating will not be accepted — this applies to everyone, including VIP members.
Consequences may include:
• Cancellation of membership
• No refunds on any payments
• Loss of team points where applicable
We pride ourselves on running the most fair amateur golf competitions in Perth.
If you believe you’ve made a ruling or scoring error — or are questioned about one — the best approach is to talk about it, own it, and accept any penalty (if one applies).
It needs to be said.
💸 Referrals – Platinum Members
Referral credits are tracked via the “Referred By” field during sign-up.
Please ensure the person you refer enters your name in that field.
• $20 credit per successful referral
• Platinum members only (for now)
• Credit is applied automatically to your next renewal or event invoice
We’re working on expanding this to all members and will update everyone when that changes.
Thanks as always for being part of The Golf Collective and helping us continue to grow the right way.
See you on the course,
Ruben
The Golf Collective
