Captain’s Address - 2026 Season

Ex Officio Captain Mark Henry, Past Captains, and Members,

 Thank you all sincerely for electing me as your Captain for 2026/27. I’m genuinely excited for the years ahead and for the chance to continue building the strong, recognisable presence that ACGA has become.

It’s a real privilege to serve as your Captain for the next two years, and an honour to follow in the footsteps of the distinguished Captains who have led our Association before me.

 Looking ahead, I’m eager to focus on retaining our fantastic membership while also welcoming some younger golfers into the fold. Fresh faces and familiar ones—both are essential to our future.

This season is packed with Majors, OOM events, Friendlies, and our Singles Competition. I encourage everyone to take part whenever they can.

These events are great fun, brilliant for meeting new golf mates, and they help keep the spirit of our Association thriving. Your enthusiasm and commitment have been a huge part of our success so far.

As we begin this new season, I intend to stay true to the values that make our society what it is. Our goal remains to create a fun, social, and competitive environment where every member—and every guest—feels welcome, supported, and part of something special.

I’ll do my very best to represent all members with fairness and integrity. We’ve got a fantastic committee, and I’m looking forward to a great year working with them.

There’s sometimes a perception in the golfing world that committee roles come with perks—but as we all know, there are no VIP parking spaces here!

What we do have is a shared passion for providing the best atmosphere possible for members to enjoy their golf as our Association continues to grow and evolve.

Challenges will no doubt come our way, but with your continued support, I’m confident we’ll meet them head-on and keep moving forward together.

Wishing you all a brilliant golfing year ahead—filled with good health, plenty of Pars, a generous helping of Birdies, and, if luck is on your side, the occasional Eagle.

Yours in Golf

Randy Plowright
