The Monday Work Group<\/strong><\/summary>\nRecognised for their tireless energy and commitment to keeping the clubhouse and course in top condition. Their work often goes unnoticed\u2014those small, unglamorous but vital jobs that keep everything running smoothly. Their contribution is invaluable, and this award reflects the deep appreciation felt across the club.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\nGreg Monahan<\/strong><\/summary>\nHonoured for his generous contribution over many years, including countless volunteer hours and the donation of specialist equipment to support major course renovations. From moving tonnes of soil for the wetlands project to helping create the new mounds on the 11th and 12th fairways, Greg\u2019s impact will be enjoyed by members for many years to come.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The Club also proudly inducted two new Life Members:<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nJohn Merriman<\/strong><\/summary>\n\nA member for 40 years, John has served as Captain, volunteered tirelessly across club operations, run the bar and clubhouse services, and even hand-painted the white lines in the car park. His steady dedication has been a cornerstone of the club\u2019s progress and culture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\nGreg Graham<\/strong><\/summary>\n\nA member for an extraordinary 57 years, Greg was pivotal in bringing one of QGC\u2019s most important sponsors, McHarry\u2019s Buslines, on board. As a junior, he was part of the club\u2019s pennant success, and throughout his decades of membership, he represented QGC with pride across the region. His long-term commitment embodies the very best of our club\u2019s history and spirit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Throughout the evening, standout stories added colour and character to the celebrations.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nWally Tarticchio<\/strong>\u2014who collected multiple awards across the two years\u2014captivated the room when interviewed by Club President Brad Teal OAM, revealing he still plays using the same clubs he started with 57 years ago, including the very first putter ever produced by Ping.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNeale Walter<\/strong> and Phil Shay<\/strong> also enjoyed plenty of time on the dais, collecting an impressive haul of awards. Whilst our Club Captain, Barb Luppino,<\/strong> proudly accepted her back-to-back Ladies\u2019 Club Championship titles, reflecting another stellar year on course.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnd in one of the night\u2019s most heartfelt moments, Cruze Strange<\/strong>, our 2025 Club Champion, spoke of the influential role played by his friend, mentor, club sponsor and committee member Anthony Webber\u2014whose support brought him to QGC and helped create the opportunity for Cruze to develop his game. Cruze credited the camaraderie and friendships he\u2019s found at the club as a driving force behind his growth and success.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhile the crowd was smaller than expected, the spirit of the night was unmistakably strong\u2014a celebration not just of victories, but of the people, stories and contributions that make QGC such a special place to belong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greg Monahan<\/strong><\/summary>\nHonoured for his generous contribution over many years, including countless volunteer hours and the donation of specialist equipment to support major course renovations. From moving tonnes of soil for the wetlands project to helping create the new mounds on the 11th and 12th fairways, Greg\u2019s impact will be enjoyed by members for many years to come.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The Club also proudly inducted two new Life Members:<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nJohn Merriman<\/strong><\/summary>\n\nA member for 40 years, John has served as Captain, volunteered tirelessly across club operations, run the bar and clubhouse services, and even hand-painted the white lines in the car park. His steady dedication has been a cornerstone of the club\u2019s progress and culture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\nGreg Graham<\/strong><\/summary>\n\nA member for an extraordinary 57 years, Greg was pivotal in bringing one of QGC\u2019s most important sponsors, McHarry\u2019s Buslines, on board. As a junior, he was part of the club\u2019s pennant success, and throughout his decades of membership, he represented QGC with pride across the region. His long-term commitment embodies the very best of our club\u2019s history and spirit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Throughout the evening, standout stories added colour and character to the celebrations.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nWally Tarticchio<\/strong>\u2014who collected multiple awards across the two years\u2014captivated the room when interviewed by Club President Brad Teal OAM, revealing he still plays using the same clubs he started with 57 years ago, including the very first putter ever produced by Ping.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNeale Walter<\/strong> and Phil Shay<\/strong> also enjoyed plenty of time on the dais, collecting an impressive haul of awards. Whilst our Club Captain, Barb Luppino,<\/strong> proudly accepted her back-to-back Ladies\u2019 Club Championship titles, reflecting another stellar year on course.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnd in one of the night\u2019s most heartfelt moments, Cruze Strange<\/strong>, our 2025 Club Champion, spoke of the influential role played by his friend, mentor, club sponsor and committee member Anthony Webber\u2014whose support brought him to QGC and helped create the opportunity for Cruze to develop his game. Cruze credited the camaraderie and friendships he\u2019s found at the club as a driving force behind his growth and success.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhile the crowd was smaller than expected, the spirit of the night was unmistakably strong\u2014a celebration not just of victories, but of the people, stories and contributions that make QGC such a special place to belong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Merriman<\/strong><\/summary>\n\nA member for 40 years, John has served as Captain, volunteered tirelessly across club operations, run the bar and clubhouse services, and even hand-painted the white lines in the car park. His steady dedication has been a cornerstone of the club\u2019s progress and culture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\nGreg Graham<\/strong><\/summary>\n\nA member for an extraordinary 57 years, Greg was pivotal in bringing one of QGC\u2019s most important sponsors, McHarry\u2019s Buslines, on board. As a junior, he was part of the club\u2019s pennant success, and throughout his decades of membership, he represented QGC with pride across the region. His long-term commitment embodies the very best of our club\u2019s history and spirit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Throughout the evening, standout stories added colour and character to the celebrations.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nWally Tarticchio<\/strong>\u2014who collected multiple awards across the two years\u2014captivated the room when interviewed by Club President Brad Teal OAM, revealing he still plays using the same clubs he started with 57 years ago, including the very first putter ever produced by Ping.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNeale Walter<\/strong> and Phil Shay<\/strong> also enjoyed plenty of time on the dais, collecting an impressive haul of awards. Whilst our Club Captain, Barb Luppino,<\/strong> proudly accepted her back-to-back Ladies\u2019 Club Championship titles, reflecting another stellar year on course.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnd in one of the night\u2019s most heartfelt moments, Cruze Strange<\/strong>, our 2025 Club Champion, spoke of the influential role played by his friend, mentor, club sponsor and committee member Anthony Webber\u2014whose support brought him to QGC and helped create the opportunity for Cruze to develop his game. Cruze credited the camaraderie and friendships he\u2019s found at the club as a driving force behind his growth and success.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhile the crowd was smaller than expected, the spirit of the night was unmistakably strong\u2014a celebration not just of victories, but of the people, stories and contributions that make QGC such a special place to belong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A member for 40 years, John has served as Captain, volunteered tirelessly across club operations, run the bar and clubhouse services, and even hand-painted the white lines in the car park. His steady dedication has been a cornerstone of the club\u2019s progress and culture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n A member for an extraordinary 57 years, Greg was pivotal in bringing one of QGC\u2019s most important sponsors, McHarry\u2019s Buslines, on board. As a junior, he was part of the club\u2019s pennant success, and throughout his decades of membership, he represented QGC with pride across the region. His long-term commitment embodies the very best of our club\u2019s history and spirit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n\n\n Wally Tarticchio<\/strong>\u2014who collected multiple awards across the two years\u2014captivated the room when interviewed by Club President Brad Teal OAM, revealing he still plays using the same clubs he started with 57 years ago, including the very first putter ever produced by Ping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Neale Walter<\/strong> and Phil Shay<\/strong> also enjoyed plenty of time on the dais, collecting an impressive haul of awards. Whilst our Club Captain, Barb Luppino,<\/strong> proudly accepted her back-to-back Ladies\u2019 Club Championship titles, reflecting another stellar year on course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And in one of the night\u2019s most heartfelt moments, Cruze Strange<\/strong>, our 2025 Club Champion, spoke of the influential role played by his friend, mentor, club sponsor and committee member Anthony Webber\u2014whose support brought him to QGC and helped create the opportunity for Cruze to develop his game. Cruze credited the camaraderie and friendships he\u2019s found at the club as a driving force behind his growth and success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the crowd was smaller than expected, the spirit of the night was unmistakably strong\u2014a celebration not just of victories, but of the people, stories and contributions that make QGC such a special place to belong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A Night of Recognition and Remarkable Stories: QGC Awards Presentation Wrap-Up Saturday 29 November saw QGC […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":553,"featured_media":4886,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[6,22,45],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4832","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-members","category-members-slider","category-guests"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nGreg Graham<\/strong><\/summary>\n
