On International 'Thank a Super' Day, we take this opportunity to extend thanks to one of the very best in the business... John Mann!

Previously the Superintendent at Commonwealth and Woodlands, and a 2IC at Royal Melbourne, John brings a wealth of experience and expertise to Metropolitan. He is a true Sandbelt specialist.

John and his talented team are about to embark on Stage 2 of Metropolitan's Greens Restoration Program/Course Enhancement Plan, Stage 1 having been completed last summer. It means another summer of dedicated work but this high-performing team is already looking forward to the challenge, and to unveiling spectacular results!

Thank you John - have a 'super' day!

As we farewell @theopen at Royal Troon and look to 2025 and the magnificent Royal Portrush, one special golfer comes to mind... Metropolitan Life Member Brian Twite OAM.

Whilst Teaching Professional at Sunningdale, Brian contested his first Open at Royal Portrush in 1951, who have invited the 97 y.o. to return to experience The Open next year.

The Head Professional at Metropolitan from 1955 to 1994, Brian is regularly at the Club and as eager as ever to help members improve their game.

Today we turn back the clock to 2021, to the wonderful imagery of @stuartlkerr who captured the gentile spirit of Brian Twite OAM... an inspiration to so many!

It was a privilege to welcome @matthew_wolff5 and @samhorsfield96 to Metropolitan, as they prepare for Australia's @livgolf_league tournament this weekend.

Hosted by Metro member, 2019 @usga Mid-Amateur Champion, and burgeoning golf course engineer Lukas Michel, both Matt and Sam were blown away by our immaculately conditioned playing surfaces and razor-sharp bunkering... all quintessential Metro... all world-renowned features of the @melbournesandbelt

Matt and Sam also noted recent changes to the front nine holes as part of our Greens Restoration Program and Course Enhancement Plan, completed in March with the assistance of @craftermogford.

With 15 y.o. member @taegendodds and our Youth Pennant Captain George Carasavidis in toe as caddies, the group had a tonne of fun out there!

Thanks lads, and wishing you well this week!

As the golfing world congratulates @scottie.scheffler on an incredible week at The Masters, @metropolitangolfclub takes time to honour our amateur champions in @lukasmichel and @jeneathwong both of whom have experienced the privilege of competing at Augusta National!

Lukas booked his Masters experience courtesy of a stunning victory in the 2019 @usga Mid-Amateur Championship. Albeit as a covid-affected year, it was an opportunity he will never forget, both as a golfer and as a bourgeoning engineer and course architect.

Jeneath's dominance in junior and open amateur tournaments across the globe assured her of an invitation - at only 18 years of age - to the 2023 Augusta Women's Amateur Championship. Currently on full scholarship at the ultra-prestigious Pepperdine University, 'pocket dynamite' has much to look forward to!

These two amazing talents have crafted their shotmaking on Metropolitan's immaculate fairways, and sharpened their short game on our hard and fast greens, all in the heart of the famous @melbournesandbelt.

As a private club that warmly welcomes international visitors throughout the year, Metropolitan is extremely proud of Lukas and Jeneath, not only as members but as fine ambassadors of golf. We hope you have both enjoyed revisiting memories of such treasured experiences these past weeks.

Melbourne has lived through some wild weather this week... but somehow our amazing team of Course Staff - led by Course Superintendent John Mann - has miraculously managed to continue progressing our Greens Restoration Program & Course Enhancement Plan (CEP/GRP).

As we prepare to unveil the incredible transformations to our front 9 holes, with the help and visionary expertise of @craftermogford, we give a huge shout-out to our Staff who are riding this wave of change, learning, and growing in the process. And wonderful footage captured each week by @underthecard to keep members informed and engaged with the project.

Looking forward to seeing this iconic @melbournesandbelt gem back in full flight!

Stage 1 of our Greens Restoration Program & Course Enhancement Plan (GRP/CEP) is almost complete! With enhancements to every green on the front nine holes of our internationally acclaimed championship course, there are also significant enhancements to green approaches, to teeing grounds, fairway mounding & bunkering to take in.

We eagerly await the return of 18-hole play, and can't wait to welcome back interstate and international visitors, and corporate guests alike.

In the coming weeks, we will be unveiling these incredible transformations to our followers, all brought about with the vision of Course Architects @craftermogford

This week we celebrate the reinstatement of the 'lost' MacKenzie fairway bunker on hole 3, pictured in 1929, and in more recent weeks.

In honour of our reborn historic features, Metropolitan Life Member Bruce Baskett has penned a magnificent article retracing the famed 1926 visit of @dr.alistermackenzie to the @melbournesandbelt

We hope you enjoy it!

A super morning of fun at Metropolitan for the 2024 Women's Development Programs 'Open Day'! This wonderful group of women - all relatively new to golf - definitely have 'the golf bug' and are super-keen to improve, make friends, and learn from award-winning @pgaofaustralia coaching talent in our Metro team.

The first Club on the @melbournesandbelt to sign the @therandagolf Women in Golf Charter, Metropolitan is proud to offer an extensive suite of programs for women and girls to learn and improve in golf.

Thank you, Elissa Lau (Golf Programs Development Coordinator, & PGA Professional) for bringing these programs to fruition, and to PGA Professionals Calum Hey and Oli Pearson for your expert coaching.

All of this fun is set in our beautiful learning and practice environments @metropolitangolfclub as well as at the Oakleigh Golf Course.

To our new friends, welcome!

The @cathedral.invitational is fast becoming one of Australia's favourite tournaments. In only its second year it's drawing crowds that rival our majors, and Cathedral owners David & Sonya Evans - both proud Metropolitan members - couldn't be happier!

@metropolitangolfclub member @blake_collyer1 is in hot pursuit of tournament victory. Finished at 8-under par and T3 & 7-under 65 in today's second and final round 💥 Blake has a nervous wait ahead...

Fellow @metropolitangolfclub member @todd.sinnott, straight off the plane from Taiwan after securing his Asian card, is also at 8-under with six holes to play.

They're chasing a big gun @adamscottofficial 🔥

Cheer on our Metro lads, & best of luck in the run home!

Catch all the action via https://cathedralinvitational.com/ and @pgaofaustralia

Metropolitan was proud to host the 2023 Victorian Amputee Golf Championship this week. 25 amputee competitors from around Australia battled it out over two rounds, many having little to no previous @melbournesandbelt experience, and relishing the opportunity!

Firm, challenging conditions tested their skills, as they peppered championship pins and showed their class. Prizes were on offer across three categories and tight battles ensued.

Congratulations to winners Rance Dorrington (Stableford) and Shaun Bakker (Nett) but it was @metropolitangolfclub own Mike Rolls who was crowned the 2023 champion!

Metro is a proud supporter of all abilities golf, and more specifically, golfers who experience limb loss. Events like this have an enormous positive impact on the lives of people who live with limb loss.

The 2023 Brian Twite Trainee Pro-Am was a huge success, with sincere thanks to @metropolitangolfclub PGA Associate Oliver Pearson's event management skills.

Metropolitan Life Member Brian Twite OAM was on hand - at 97 years young - to hit the honorary 1st tee shot, receiving a rousing applause from all who were fortunate to witness it! Brian was Metro's Head Professional from 1955 to 1994, yes that's 40 years, and we were thrilled that so many young professionals were able to learn from his wisdom today, experience his passion for golf, and honour his remarkable commitment to the game.

Congratulations to @joelmitchpga_rgc who fired an impressive 3-under par 69 in challenging conditions, to win by a shot from @jack.harrison011

Well done to @pgaofaustralia for another fabulous Associate Professional event, building pathways for the next generation in our industry.

Thank you to the generous sponsors and participants whose support will aid The Metropolitan Golf Club Foundation, helping us provide opportunities for worthy projects including junior golf, scholarships, and player development for many years to come.
