A little history.....
A Master Builders' Association of S.A. Golf Committee was created early in 1957 when, with the cooperation of Brian Galloway, then Secretary of the Association, a Subcommittee composed of Bert Baulderstone, Paul Dalwood, Jack Horton-Evins and Hugh Docker was formed to organise a golf match between Members and Associates.
The inaugural Golf Day was held on Friday, September 20th, 1957, at Kooyonga Golf Club. The Association President of the day, George Brimblecombe, commenced play with a glorious "airie". Fifty-two players took part in the original tournament which has since developed into regular games being played by builder and supply members, at various courses around Adelaide.
The Golf Sub-committee of the S.A. Association became a permanent section, organising annual golf days. These became an all day function with a barbecue being served on the course for lunch and a "watering hole", usually under the supervision of the late ever popular Bob O'Neill.
The first Chairman of the Golf Sub-committee was Bert Baulderstone. It was Bert who proposed at the M.B.A. Convention in Perth in 1958 that an Interstate Golf Tournament be held annually between the member states of the Master Builders' Federation of Australia. ..... (more) ....
