twenty years and have many stories to share with you.”\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default”

SUMMARY:Dinner - Commonwealth
DESCRIPTION:The second dinner of the year will be held\non\nMonday 30 June 2025\nat\nCommonwealth Golf Club\n6:30pm for 7:00pm \nWith Guest speaker\nAndrew Thomson \n‘Professional Golf – Old\, New\, and From The Inside.’\nThe perspective  from Peter’s son who is a student of professional  golf’s history. \n\nAndrew Thomson\, a GSA member and avid hickory player\, had the unique experience of growing up as the son of Peter Thomson\, Australia’s five-time Open champion. 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.
