The SWGA has a rich heritage in the region, tracing its Men’s district champion’s title back to 1957. In 2013, the SWGA reintroduced the Order of Merit for Open tournaments in the area to encourage participation in all SWGA-affiliated clubs open championships, but lapsed during the COVID-19 years. We are now eager to revive this prestigious competition and restore it to its former prominence. For more information, event details and to enter, visit www.swga.com.au
