2016 CAPTAIN’S REPORT

Captain’s Report .....Cont’d Speaking of batteries, the Cudmore Cannon came out of retirement to play and was fired at 8am on Opening Day to commence the shotgun start.

Plans were put into place for more frequent use – for either firing one captain or as importantly, heralding the new.

RGD these last three years have been involved in many changes. Apart from the 17th and 17A, none momentous, and certainly none with any definitive written design.Tim Evans, the Course Chairman, has moonlighted for them, effectively doing the concept sketches, gaining their approval, and then providing them for you to peruse.

As you will have observed, their actual design methodology requires a hundred horsepower excavator underneath Brian Slawnik’s backside to get the creative juices running.

They work from experience, golf intelligence and to some extent intuition. We have had great outcomes, Brian has developed a keen enthusiasm for our course and we expect the relationship to continue long-term.

As an aside RGD (Tom Doak), and particularly Brian, have built a new course north of Auckland called Tara Iti. Opened in last October, the acclaim it is receiving from around the world is astonishing.

We are in safe hands.

be the basis of a comprehensive revision of the Club’s Rules. This will enable, among other things, a greater involvement by women in the running of the Club’s affairs and an easier path to membership for juniors.

I used the word “badgering” earlier. It was felt that the ladies would have embraced full membership as well as equality with high enthusiasm and that is yet to be widely identified. The above survey was an opportunity to replace intermittent, sporadic, sometimes confusing conversations (and attempted persuasions) with more concrete data, resulting from all members having input.

More in the Membership and Rules Report.

Membership, membership, membership. Into the future it is the greatest challenge for the Club.

It is incumbent on us all to expand the waiting lists of men and women. Those of you in the 4060 year range will undoubtedly have friends and acquaintances that should be added to our waiting list.

Cameron and Daniel in the Pro Shop have had a large number of very small prospective juniors under their tutelage which gives us confidence for the future, but we must remain vigilant.

Leading this Club has been an enthralling ride.

Associates’ President’s Report (Sally Rasmussen) As I write my Report for the Calendar Year of 2015, the Club is simply ‘abuzz’ with activity – both within and without. However, I am ahead of myself!

It was a privilege and delight to have our new Patron Mrs Le, wife of our Governor, His Excellency the Honorable Hieu Van Le, with us on Opening Day, which was attended by many enthusiastic Associates, ready to embrace the new golfing season.

club has been proactive in this area, along with our Golfing Professional, Daniel Blackwell. They have endorsed many options put forward. Innovation has been at the forefront and Associates have been most fortunate in having enthusiastic ‘Membership Initiative’ Sub-Committee members managing this role since the membership drive began.

Interclub Pennant and Cleek competitions were contested over the winter months. Pennant teams (A1 and A3) had team managers for the first time – Didy McLaurin and Cathy McAuliffe respectively. Both teams were extremely grateful for their help and dedication. I am certain that this system will be followed in ensuing years.

The dedication to practise and to the clinics by squad members is to be admired and we are grateful for their efforts, time and participation.

Early each March a President’s and Captain’s lunch is held at one of the main 4 sand belt clubs ie: Royal Adelaide, The Grange, Kooyonga and Glenelg. 2015 saw The Grange host this event. It is a great opportunity to exchange all relevant issues concerning Womens’ golf and proves a valuable sounding board for ideas concerning our clubs. Another wonderful ‘End of Season Pennant Party’ was held at Captain, Steph Evan’s home.

One of the most popular events on our calendar, always a sell-out, is our Club Dinner, which Our Charity Golf Day was held in July.

Junior Development - Michael Jay Having a well structured, financed Junior Development Programme is essential to the long term viability of Royal Adelaide Golf Club. We lag behind many others around the country and certainly other tier one Clubs in Adelaide.

Over the past 12 months the JD Sub-Committee has proposed significant changes to existing rules pertaining to both male and female juniors that will be put to the membership of the Club at the AGM in June. If approved, By law changes can then be more easily fashioned to complement the entire junior golf experience for any incoming member.

The proposed tiered junior membership will be competitively priced, comparable to other clubs and have incentive options to join with a substantially reduced entrance fee. Included will be clinics, lessons and regular competitions in an effort to have RAGC enter teams in Golf SA Junior Interclub competitions.

has been instrumental in putting all this together along with the tirelessly enthusiastic Paul Reader.

Daniel Blackwell`s Little and Big Hitter Clinics on Saturdays are oversubscribed and it is hoped that many of these boys and girls can be signed up for junior membership in the forseeable future.

I would like to acknowledge the significant contribution of current junior member and Pennant player Alex Pacifico to these clinics as well as Tony Christie another recently appointed Pro Shop staff member.

A successful Family Fun Day was attended by 50 children and adults on Sunday February 28th.

The Term 1 and 4 School Clinics involving St. Peter`s College have more than 20 boys with golf as their primary sports option. Wilderness and St Michael`s are visited for introductory lessons with plans to expand this to other schools shortly and eventually an interschool competition.

Boo Lange and Sophie Hilditch have been other active participants to the JD Sub-Committee and Our Golf Operations Coordinator, Chris Crocker have our thanks for their contribution.

CLUB ACTIVITIES 2015/16

Membership & Rules (Jim Sweeney, Chairman) Whilst it may appear on the surface that nothing much has happened in membership there has been considerable groundwork done by a committed Working Party.

The Working Party had been considering future membership options leading to a Special General Meeting in December, which approved the Committee to establish a gender equal structure and to prepare draft changes to the rules to reflect that. The Committee’s stated preferred option was for one gender equal category of membership however the informal membership feedback suggested that this be reconsidered.

Further work by the working party identified that a two-tiered system may be a viable alternative. As a result a membership survey was developed and sent to the membership. At the time of this report the

survey was still open and the results not known. It is hoped that the survey will provide a clear direction for the committee to develop the draft changes to the Rules prior to discussion with the membership and subsequent vote at SGM. All membership categories are to be reviewed in this process, which will require a major rewrite of the Club Rules.

The Junior Development Sub-Committee under the Chairmanship of Michael Jay has put forward proposed changes to junior membership, which will hopefully result in a vibrant junior program with increased junior member numbers as well as the facilitation of transition to ongoing adult membership.The considerable effort of Paul Reader is to be acknowledged.These proposed changes have been approved by the committee and will be taken to the AGM for approval, as we believe that these changes should be implemented as soon as possible without waiting for the full membership review.

Course Report (Tim Evans, Chairman) This past year we commenced a new programme for course maintenance, particularly in regard to the greens. Hollow coring and sanding has been replaced with needle tining and dusting on a more regular basis, members have long lamented that no sooner have we got the greens up to a standard we all enjoy, that we then set to and core them with a recovery period often longer than hoped and always being subject to the variances of Spring weather. The needle tining is less invasive and will significantly quicken recovery. Similarly tee, apron and fairway renovations have now all been bundled into the one period in September, again enabling the course to present at its best in the Spring and Summer period.

• The construction of the much anticipated 19th hole (henceforth to be called 17A).

• 15th tee complex and 14th green surround.

• 15th greenside bunker.

• Removal of bunkers on the 14th drive.

• 9th and 10th greens side mounding.

And most recently: • The 13th tee complex.

• 12th green surrounds • 2nd tees The Committee has received very positive feedback on all of these works, and sincerely thank the membership for their continued support and patience through these construction periods.

The introduction of the latest Toro operating software for irrigation programming has delivered The 17A hole in particular would not have been significant efficiencies both to the irrigation of the possible without the generosity of the many course, and the time required in programming. members and their donations through the Australian Sports Foundation.

Match & Pennant Report (Richard Mills, Chairman) Appropriately, golf at Royal Adelaide remained strong in 2015 as evidenced by the number of rounds played by members and visitors. A total of 30,710 member rounds and 5,847 visitor rounds were played.This is no doubt a reflection of the extremely well maintained design and quality of our course.

With Clubhouse and Pro Shop renovations nearing completion, Royal Adelaide will continue to be one of Australia’s premier golfing experiences, and our membership should be very proud of this fact.

Participation in Trophies & Events has been strongly supported by members and guests, and the calendar for the year is near capacity. Team and mixed events are always a good way of bringing members together. The now popular Royal Premiership Challenge is upgrading this year with a preseason dinner and Calcutta event in May. An Order of Merit will be conducted over the season for members playing on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Pennant Simpson Cup There was a slow start to the season, with a rally late to finish fifth on the ladder with two wins.The winner of the Guy Lendon Trophy for the most successful player in the Senior Pennant Team was Matt Lawson.

Bonnar Cup The team had some close losses towards the end of the season and unfortunately finished eighth.

This means relegation to the B2 Division for 2016 and no doubt a strong desire to have a good season and get back into B1. The winner of the AP Hutton Cup for the most successful player in the B Pennant Team was Josh Groom.

Special thanks to Team Managers Rod Phillips and James Bennett, coaching professionals Cameron Howell and Daniel Blackwell and all the loyal caddies who give up their time for the players and the club.

As the RAGC website continues to improve it is becoming the best way to keep up to date with events, functions, course changes and activity around the club. Both general news and individual pages can provide members with all their day to day golfing information. Likewise the regular email-news Royal Golf Matters will keep members updated with current events and competitions.

Another popular new initiative has been the Railway Comp, an additional Saturday ball competition decided over the last 5 holes when play is from the white tees. More 9-hole competitions will be introduced this year to encourage those members who are time poor and still wish to Finally I would like to thank Chris Crocker our new play competition golf and maintain a handicap. Golf Operations Manager who has made an instant impression around the club with his friendliness The Club Championships were well supported and enthusiasm. And an equally big thanks to Paul in all grades in 2015. Congratulations goes to Stuchbery who has moved from Golf Operations to our Club Champion Patric Kroschel who made Associates Golf Coordinator. it back to back success with a strong win over a quality opponent in Billy Cawthorne.

Finance & Planning (Phil Plummer, Chairman) Foundation The creation of the ASF Foundation for the construction of a 19th hole has been a success with a net $102,965 being contributed. This has resulted in the construction work being brought forward by a number of years.

The delay in the completion of the Clubhouse Redevelopment and the receipt of the subscriptions for the 2016/17 year have resulted in no borrowings being required to date.

notes to the financial statement for the year ended 29 february 2016 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial report covers Royal Adelaide Golf Club Inc. as an individual entity. Royal Adelaide Golf Club Inc. is a body incorporated in South Australia under the Associations Incorporations Act (SA) 1985.

Basis of Preparation This financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the requirements of the Associations Incorporations Act (SA) 1985.

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply.

Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

The financial statements for the year ended 29 February 2016 were approved and authorised for issue by the Committee on 27 April 2016.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for current reporting periods. The Club’s assessment of the impact of the new standards and interpretations is that there would be no material impact on the reported financial information.

Accounting Policies a.

Income Tax The Club is exempt from Income Tax pursuant to the provisions of Section 50-45 of the Income Tax

Assessment Act, 1997.

b.

Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

c.

Impairment of Assets At each reporting date, the Club reviews the carrying values of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Club estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Page 21

notes to the financial statement for the year ended 29 february 2016

d.

Property, Plant and Equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by Committee Members to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from those assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal.

The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present value in determining recoverable amounts. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefit associated with the item will flow to the Club and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

e.

Depreciation The depreciable amount of all fixed assets are depreciated on a diminishing value basis over the useful lives of the assets to the Club commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

The Depreciation Rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Buildings 2% - 20% Plant & Equipment 7.5% - 25% Furniture, Fittings, Plant 5% - 33% Trophies Nil

The assets’ residual value and useful life are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance date.

An asset carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount.These gains and losses are included in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

Land The Club’s land was acquired in 1904 and has not been subject to any revaluation adjustments. Its carrying value is nominal.

Maintenance All routine maintenance and minor course redevelopment costs are expensed in the year incurred.

f.

Financial Instruments Recognition and Initial Measurement Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the Club becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs where the instruments are not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are immediately expensed to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

Page 22

notes to the financial statement for the year ended 29 february 2016

h. i.

j.

Derecognition Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipts of cash flows expire or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the Club no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

Classification and Subsequent Measurement Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Financial Liabilities Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Impairment At the reporting date, the Club assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired.

Employee Entitlements Provision is made for the Club’s liability for employee benefits arising from service rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.

These cashflows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cashflows.

Contributions are made by the Club to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as expenses when incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and cash on deposit with financial institutions.

Revenue Annual subscriptions are recognised in the subscription year to which they relate with amounts received prior to 29 February being recorded as unearned income at year end.

Entrance fees are recognised at the point the member joins the club.

Dining room levies charged to members but unused at the year-end are absorbed into general revenue.

Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax.

Trades and Other Payables Trade and other payables represents the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the entity during the reporting period, which remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.

Page 23

notes to the financial statement for the year ended 29 february 2016

k.

Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the AustralianTax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

l.

Comparative Figures When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current year.

m.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The Committee members evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial

report based on historical knowledge and best available current information.

Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Club.

n.

Contributed Assets Royal Adelaide Golf Club receives non-reciprocal contributions of assets from external parties from time to time. These assets are recognised at a fair value on the date of acquisition in the Statement of Financial Position, with a corresponding amount of income recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other

Comprehensive Income.

notes to the financial statement for the year ended 29 february 2016 NOTE 16: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT Financial Risk Management Policies The Club’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposit with banks, accounts receivable and payable.

The Club does not have any derivative instruments at 29 February 2016. i. Treasury Risk Management A Finance Committee consisting of Committee Members meets on a regular basis to analyse financial risk exposure and to evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts.

The Committee’s overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the Club in meeting its financial targets, whilst minimising potential effects on financial performance.

The Finance Committee operates under policies approved by the General Committee members. Risk management policies are approved and reviewed by the Committee on a regular basis. These include the use of credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements. ii. Financial Risk Exposure and Management The main risk the Club is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.

Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is managed with floating rate deposits.

Foreign currency risk The Club is not exposed to material fluctuations in foreign currencies.

Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Club might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Club manages this risk through the following mechanisms:

· Preparing forward-looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financial activities;

· Only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and

· Proactively monitoring the recovery of unpaid subscriptions.

The tables on the next page reflect an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities.

Cash flows realised from financial assets reflect management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may therefore differ from that disclosed. The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle finance leases reflects the earliest contractual settlement dates.

Credit Risk The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognise financial assets is the carry amount, net of any provisions for doubtful debts, as disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position and Notes to the Financial Statements.

There are no material amounts of collateral held as security at 29 February 2016.

Credit risk is managed and reviewed regularly by Finance Committee. It arises from exposure to customers and deposit with financial institutions.

The Finance Committee monitors credit risk by actively assessing the rating quality and liquidity of counter parties.

- only banks with an “A” rating utilised; - all potential members are rated for credit worthiness taking into account their particular circumstances and financial standing and - customers that do not meet the Club’s strict credit policies may only purchase in cash or using recognised credit card.

At 29 February 2016 the Club does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group receivables under financial instruments entered into by the Club.

Page 31

notes to the financial statement for the year ended 29 february 2016

The Club’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rate on those financial assets and financial liabilities, is as follows:

Sensitivity Analysis Interest rate risk The Club has performed a sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk at balance date.

This sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on current year results and which could result from a change in this risk.

At 29 February 2016 the effect on profit and equity as a result of change in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant would be as follows; 2016 $

2015 $

41,635

49,321

(41,635)

(49,321)

41,635

49,321

(41,635)

(49,321)

Change in Profit - Increase in interest rate by 2% - Decrease in interest rate by 2% Change in equity - Increase in interest rate by 2% - Decrease in interest rate by 2%

This sensitivity analysis has been performed on the assumption that all other variables remain unchanged.

No sensitivity analysis has been performed on foreign currency risk as the Club is not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.
