Overview

The NSW Volunteer of the Year Award is designed to recognise contributions made to golf in NSW by hardworking and dedicated individuals at Club, District or State level. 

The majority of NSW’s Golf Clubs and District Associations are significantly assisted by volunteers who contribute their time, knowledge, skills and enthusiasm in a variety of ways and many over long periods of time. These awards are an opportunity to provide recognition of those individuals to the broader golf community.

Clubs and District Associations are encouraged to submit nominations and recognise their volunteers.
