Horsham Shines as Victorian Veterans Golf Championships Conclude
The 2026 Victorian Veterans Golf Championships have drawn to a close following three amazing days at the Horsham Golf Club, bringing together veteran golfers from across Victoria for an enjoyable combination of camaraderie, competition and friendship.
The championships attracted an outstanding field of golfers, with players and their partners enjoying not only the competition but also the opportunity to experience the hospitality of Horsham and the surrounding Wimmera district.
Tournament Director David Baker was delighted with the success of the event and the positive feedback received from participants.
He acknowledged the tremendous contribution of the many volunteers, organisers and supporters whose combined efforts ensured the championships ran smoothly.
Horsham Golf Club Manager Darryl McCrae was equally delighted with the many compliments received from visiting golfers, who praised the impressive presentation of the golf course, its beautifully maintained fairways and welcoming clubhouse.
Darryl said it was particularly rewarding to hear such positive feedback and to see the club showcased at its very best.
Horsham Rural City Council Mayor Brian Klowss expressed his enthusiasm for welcoming events such as the championships to Horsham.
He highlighted the importance of bringing visitors to the region and providing opportunities for them to discover and appreciate all that Horsham and the surrounding district have to offer.
Away from the golf course, the Partners Program provided an opportunity for non-playing partners to explore the district, enjoy local attractions and experience some of the region’s wonderful hospitality, adding another dimension to the championships.
The success of the event was made possible through the generous support of sponsors, particularly major sponsor Horsham Rural City Council, together with the many local businesses that contributed.
Whether large or small, every contribution played a valuable part in making the championships such a success.
The championships were a wonderful opportunity to showcase not only the Horsham Golf Club but also the wider Horsham and Wimmera community, leaving visitors with lasting memories of their time in the region.
The Wimmera Veterans Golf Association extends its sincere thanks to everyone who contributed to making the 2026 Victorian Veterans Golf Championships such a memorable and successful event.
