To achieve its aim the Society has four main activities.

Golf Museum :: The Golf Museum has a very diverse and interesting collection of golfing artefacts going back to the early days of golf in Australia in the second half of the nineteenth century. The Museum is located at 4 Parramatta Road, Granville, NSW 2142 (above Golf Mart). It is open on Sundays from 10am to 4pm, telephone 9637 4720. Admission is free. The Museum can give advice on collecting, restoring and preserving old or antique golf clubs and other golfing artefacts.

Playing Events :: The Society organises golf days at various courses throughout the year, when members can set themselves the challenge of playing with hickory shafted clubs. Most events are played on handicap. The main event of the year is the Australian Hickory Club Championship, an eighteen hole scratch event with a handicap event in conjunction. The Society has hickory sets for hire and can advise members on how to go about acquiring their own set.

Historians Group :: The Historians Group holds seminars of interest to golf historians. It provides advice and assistance to members setting out to collect, research and write about the history of their golf club.

Publications :: The Society

distributes a newsletter,

The Brassie, three times a year.

As well as keeping members of the Society up to date

on what’s happening in the Society, members publish articles in The Brassie on historical aspects of golf.

Financial Support :: The Australian Golf Heritage Society receives financial support from the NSW Golf Association, Women’s Golf NSW, the PGA of Australia and Museums & Galleries NSW. Premises for the Golf Museum are provided through the generosity of Denis Brosnan.
