New Club Logo

Posted on Wednesday, 13 February 2013

Members are aware the Board has been investigating the possibility of standardizing the Club’s logo.

For branding and marketing purposes the Board believe it is important that one logo be selected to represent the Club and that the process provides an ideal opportunity to establish a modern and progressive image while still maintaining members’ traditional view of the Club.
 
The Board would appreciate members constructive feedback in regards to the four concept designs that have been put on display in the Members Golfing Information Centre in the Golfers Lounge.  We encourage members to have a look and fill out a form with comments. Click here to view the notice placed in the Information Centre. Click here to provide feedback.
 
Thank you
