Covid Update

Posted on: 8 September


Dear GMGA Members,

Earlier today the Premier of Victoria announced the lifting of most pandemic restrictions for Regional Victoria

Except for Greater Shepparton.

Therefore residents and golf clubs in the City of Greater Shepparton Local Government Area; lockdown restrictions still apply.

Merrigum, Hill Top Tatura, Kialla, Mooroopna, Shepparton and Cosgrove = NO GOLF

GMGA Clubs in NSW   Rich River, Mathoura, Cobram-Barooga and Tocumwal the existing NSW restrictions remain.

Golf Australia sought clarification from the Government about some of the conditions and have sent the following information to Victorian Clubs and on the GA website

Golf Australia, the PGA and WPGA continue to work closely with the Victorian government to accelerate the return of Golf in Victoria.

We support the Government’s vaccination program and believe this is the best pathway to a full return for our sport.
