The Newcastle MBA Golf Club (Incorporated 2015) was formed for the purpose of social contact between MBA members, associated trades and affiliated bodies and the professions, i.e. architects, engineers, surveyors, etc. The Club was founded over 50 years ago. It was an immediate success and still continues to be with over 70 active members.
A yearly program of events is arranged with one game every month played at various quality Hunter Region golf courses. Additional competitions are run in conjunction, i.e. Championship, Singles Knock-out, Points Score etc.; an Annual Dinner and Presentation of major trophies; a 3 day visit to Bonville & Coffs Harbour and a 5 day National Tournament. Many outings include a restaurant dinner or tasty brunch, and each monthly game involves a jackpotting $100 Member's Name Draw.
Club membership packages are tailored to suit a variety of circumstances, from the novice golfer through to the regular weekend player, up to the Corporate level which enables subscribers to promote their business through the club, and to treat valued clients, deserving employees, or just family and friends to a coveted MBA golf day. Costs to members range from $30 for a standard event, up to $60 for a premium day at, for example, Newcastle GC, The Vintage, Cypress Lakes, Kooindah Waters or Pacific Dunes, which in some instances also includes a meal or cart hire. Visitors and members' guests are charged a 50% premium.
For many years the club has enjoyed a friendly rivalry with our brothers from the near south, the NSW Master Builders & Exchange Golf Club, which is tested annually and played traditionally at a neutral golf venue on the Central Coast. In the past the event has been played in alternating years at the exclusive and quality courses of Kooindah Waters and Magenta Shores. In 2016, the 38th such contest for the NSW & Newcastle Master Builders Association Golf Cup, the venue is for the fourth year the recently re-vamped Peat's Ridge course, The Springs.
Another opportunity we enjoy with the NSW MB & E is attending the annual Master Builders Australia Inc. Tournament where with the other 5 state and regional MBA golf clubs we compete over 5 days for the M.R. Hornibrook Cup. This event, now in its 58th year, is hosted on a 7 year rotational basis. In 2015 our hosts were MBA Victoria and in 2016 we in Newcastle are hosting the event in the Hunter Valley. The Hornibrook, as it is known colloquially, is an unsurpassed networking and bonding experience that has attracted a number of our members on a regular basis for up to 49 years.
