Drummond Golf — Company IntroductionDrummond Golf is Australia’s largest off-course golf retailer, proudly serving golfers since 1974. What began as a small independent golf shop has grown into a trusted national brand with stores right across the country. For more than 50 years, Drummond Golf has been committed to helping golfers of all levels enjoy the game, offering expert advice, professional club fitting, and a wide range of quality equipment, apparel, and accessories.
A defining part of Drummond Golf’s success is its locally owned and operated store model. Each store is run by passionate golf specialists who understand the needs of their community and bring personalised service to every customer.
Location: Launceston, Northern Tasmania
Sector: Retail · Sport & Recreation
Community Focus: Grassroots sport, club sustainability, regional participation
Drummond Golf Launceston is a locally operated specialist golf retailer with a deep and longstanding connection to Tasmania’s golfing community. More than a retail outlet, the business plays an active role in sustaining the social fabric, participation pathways, and competitive culture of golf across Northern and regional Tasmania.
With a strong understanding of the realities facing community clubs — from volunteer reliance and ageing infrastructure to participation retention and funding pressures — Drummond Golf Launceston has chosen to support golf where it matters most: at club level, across the calendar, and over the long term.
Rather than focusing on a single flagship partnership, the business deliberately spreads its support across a wide network of metropolitan, regional, and coastal clubs. This includes backing monthly medals, club championships, tournament days, best score events, and prize and voucher programs that reward participation and keep clubs active throughout the year.
The clubs supported by Drummond Golf Launceston range from larger, established centres to smaller regional clubs serving tight-knit communities — recognising that each plays a vital role in providing:
Regular social connection
Physical and mental wellbeing
Intergenerational engagement
Local pride and identity
This approach reflects a belief that community sport thrives on consistency, not one-off gestures. By showing up year after year — often quietly and without fanfare — Drummond Golf Launceston helps clubs remain viable, engaged, and welcoming.
Importantly, the business’s contribution extends beyond golf itself. Tournament days and regular competitions supported by Drummond Golf Launceston generate flow-on benefits for local economies, from hospitality and accommodation to volunteer engagement and regional visitation.
Through its sustained involvement across Northern Tasmania, Drummond Golf Launceston demonstrates how a locally based business can strengthen communities by investing in participation, recognising effort, and supporting the places where people gather, compete, and belong.

Beyond major events, the day-to-day sustainability of community golf clubs relies on practical support — prizes that matter, vouchers that circulate locally, and partnerships that clubs can depend on year after year.
Drummond Golf Launceston provides ongoing prize and voucher support across multiple clubs, helping to reward participation while keeping value within local communities.
This includes:
Best Score prizes at clubs such as Bicheno, Deloraine, and Sheffield
Voucher support for regional clubs where budgets are tight but participation is strong
Long-term involvement across clubs with smaller memberships and limited sponsorship options
This form of support recognises that not every club has the same capacity — and that consistency matters more than scale.
By spreading its support across metropolitan, regional, and coastal clubs, Drummond Golf Launceston demonstrates a commitment to inclusive community sport, ensuring smaller clubs are not left behind.

Tournament days and special events are often where clubs open their doors wider — welcoming visitors, reconnecting lapsed members, and creating social occasions that extend beyond the fairway. Drummond Golf Launceston actively supports these events across Tasmania, helping clubs create memorable days that bring people together.
Through sponsorship of tournament days, prizes, and event support, Drummond Golf Launceston contributes to the vibrancy and sustainability of club life — particularly in regional and coastal communities.

Campbell Town Golf Club – Day Event
St Helens Golf Club – Day Event
Scamander Golf Club – Day Event
Ringarooma Golf Club – Day Event
Bridport Golf Club – Best Ball (BB) Event
Penguin Golf Club – Day Event

These events often generate broader community benefits — increased visitation, social connection, and flow-on support for local hospitality and services.
By backing tournament days across diverse locations, Drummond Golf Launceston helps ensure golf clubs remain active community hubs, not just sporting venues.
Contribution Category: Community Pride & Participation
Location: Northern Tasmania & Coastal Communities
Club Championships represent the pinnacle of the local golfing calendar — celebrating commitment, progression, and achievement within community clubs. Drummond Golf Launceston proudly supports these key annual events, helping clubs recognise excellence while strengthening member engagement and pride.
Championship events often carry deep personal meaning for players and long-standing importance for clubs. By contributing prizes, vouchers, and ongoing support, Drummond Golf Launceston helps ensure these milestone competitions remain well-resourced and valued.
Clubs supported through Club Championship and major annual events include:
Greens Beach Golf Club – Club Championships (annual)
Poatina Golf Club – Tournament / Major Event
Burnie Golf Club – Northern Tasmanian Open (NTP support)
This support helps elevate the status of championship events while reinforcing pathways for competitive play — from regular club golfers through to those striving for personal bests and representative opportunities.
Backing these events reflects Drummond Golf Launceston’s belief that recognising effort and achievement strengthens club identity and encourages long-term participation in sport at the community level.
Contribution Category: Community Sport & Recreation
Location: Northern & Regional Tasmania
Drummond Golf Launceston plays an ongoing role in keeping grassroots golf active, accessible, and socially connected across Northern and regional Tasmania through consistent sponsorship of monthly medal (MM) competitions and regular club events.
Monthly medals are the backbone of many local golf clubs — providing structure, routine, and a reason for members to stay engaged throughout the year. By supporting these events, Drummond Golf Launceston helps clubs maintain strong participation, reward effort, and foster friendly competition that keeps people coming back week after week.
Clubs supported through regular Monthly Medal and recurring competition sponsorship include:
Malahide Golf Club – Monthly Medal
Scottsdale Golf Club – Monthly Medal
Longford Golf Club – Monthly Medal
Quamby Golf Club – Monthly Medal
Moorina Golf Club – Monthly Medal
Tam O’Shanter Golf Club – Monthly Medal
Deloraine Golf Club – Monthly Medal & Best Score
Sheffield Golf Club – Best Score
This ongoing presence provides more than just prizes — it reinforces a sense of reliability and partnership between local clubs and a locally based business that understands their challenges and rhythms.
By backing regular competition rather than one-off events, Drummond Golf Launceston supports the long-term health of club culture, social connection, and participation across Tasmania’s regional communities.
