This winter, the Golden Divot rolls toward its biggest moment yet — the Silver Jubilee. After 25 years of tall tales, hard-earned jackets, and fairway folklore, we return to Sawtell Golf Club on Friday 28 November 2025, with an 11:00 AM shotgun start and half the field already locked in. From rookies to returning legends, this is the year to be part of Sawtell’s Masters. While you’re at it, check out the latest gear in the Divot Shop — limited edition polos, ball markers, and all the essentials to look the part, even if you play like a goat. It’s all online at www.thegoldendivot.com.

Here’s to the stories, the swings, and the mates that make the Golden Divot what it is.
