Labor promise funds for Victoria ‘Home of Golf’ project
The Victoria opposition leader has pledged state aid to fund the proposed Australian national ‘Home of Golf’ project under a possible new Labor Government.
"If the Labor Government is elected on the 29th November, we will allocate $10million towards this exciting proposal, the Home of Golf," said Daniel Andrews.
The development would house the head offices of PGA of Australia, Golf Australia and Golf Victoria, bringing together all strands of the Australian golf industry.
It would also include a Museum and Hall of Fame, and total cost is estimated at $32million for the entire project.
"Having all the different bodies under one roof and giving them the best facilities, that’s how we will create the best players and the best prospects for the future," he said.
"Whether it’s elite players representing our state and the nation, growing the game and giving our kids a taste of this unique sport, or creating jobs through the golf industry or the tourism and visitor economy, the Home of Golf is a really important part of that."
"In my opinion this is a quantum step in the direction of unifying the sport essentially bringing the amateur and professional games closer together. Such a decision will lead to greater collaboration between all the relevant golfing bodies and ultimately help to grow our great game," said Golf Victoria CEO Simon Brookhouse.
