JNJG 2024 SERVICE TO JUNIOR GOLF AWARD
Johan Landsberg and Mark Howard-Browne accept the 2024 Service to Junior Golf Award
Nomads Sydney North and Sydney South members were invited to the Jack Newton Junior Golf Sponsors Golf Day and Presentation Dinner at Strathfield Golf Club.
Nomads Golf Club was awarded the 2024 service to Junior Golf Award.
This is what presenter Emily Leong had to say in introducing the award:
It is a great privilege to present the Service to Junior Golf Award, an accolade that recognises outstanding contributions to the development of junior golf. Tonight, this award goes to an organisation that has been a remarkable partner to both Jack Newton Junior Golf and the young golfers who have benefited from its generosity over many years.
This organisation has built an incredible legacy of support for junior golf. Their relationship with JNJG spans more than a decade, and throughout this time, they have made an enduring impact on the lives of countless young golfers. Their dedication to the growth of junior golf is truly exceptional. This award is not just for the support they have given this season, but for their commitment over the course of more than 10 years.
The contribution to junior golf isn’t just about financial support, although the amount of money they’re raised over the years is nothing short of extraordinary. They have consistently stepped up to fund initiatives that directly benefit young golfers, from providing tournament entry fees to supporting overseas opportunities for players to test their games against the world’s best. Through their hard work and generosity, they have helped create opportunities that have allowed juniors to focus on their development without the burden if the financial constraints involved in playing this great game.
Perhaps one of the most significant ways they have helped is through their scholarship programs. These scholarships have opened doors for junior golfers, giving them the chance to access coaching, tournaments, and opportunities that they may not have had otherwise. They have helped turn potential into success by offering the tools and resources that young athletes need to take their game to the next level, with the list pf players who received these scholarships as juniors to now make the step to the professional level getting longer by the day.
Beyond these numbers, the most important aspect of this partnership has been the genuine care and commitment that they have shown towards the future of junior golf. They have not just supported the sport; they have become a vital part of the community, providing a pathway for juniors to excel. Their ongoing dedication reflects their belief in the power of golf to shape the next generation of athletes, leaders and individuals.
Their support has made a lasting impact, and we look forward to continuing this important partnership for many years to come.
I am honoured to recognise Nomads Golf Club as the 2024 Service to Junior Golf Award Winners.
I’d like to ask Mark Howard-Browne and Johan Landsberg to accept this award.
