SUMMARY:Dinner - Peninsula Kingswood Country Golf Club
DESCRIPTION:“The amazing story of Drummond Golf”\nWhen the first Ray Drummond Golf Shop opened in 1974 in Bendigo\, few could have foreseen the growth over the next five decades\, to where Drummond Golf boasts 50+ stores nationally to be Australia’s biggest golf retailer\, by quite a margin. \nMark Abeyaratne\, current PKCGC member and former Board member and Club Captain became CEO in 2002\, and along with brother Ravi skilled in club fitting long before it became popular and almost essential. The pair have had a major impact on Drummond’s success\, growth and expansion. \nMark will take us through the development of Drummond Golf to where it is today\, introducing us to the key people who were so influential along the way. \n  \nCost:   $82.00\nRSVP: Monday\, 9 February 2026

From early childhood Andrew observed the world of professional golf and took in many behind-the-scenes aspects of the life of a tournament player and that of his family and close friends\, including the friendships and rivalries\, the battles both on and off the course. Peter Thomson’s career brought him into contact with names such as Hogan\, Snead\, Nicklaus\, Palmer\, Player\, and many other legendary champions. With an interest in antique clubs\, Andrew has also studied the history of professional golf and has some fascinating opinions on how the profession has evolved and the influences that continue to shape it.
