PLAY THE GOLDEN DIVOT

FRIDAY 20 NOVEMBER 2026 · SAWTELL GOLF CLUB

The Golden Divot is back for its 26th year.

Individual stroke golf. No Ambrose. No hiding behind your playing partner. Just one day of questionable handicaps, great mates, ordinary golf and some very serious silverware.

Not a golfer? You’re still welcome. Divot handicaps are provided free, which has worked remarkably well for 25 years.

Perhaps a little too well.

The Green Jacket

The Green Jacket, the illustrious hallmark prize of The Golden Divot golf tournament, radiates prestige and tradition. Crafted from lush emerald fabric, this symbol of excellence has adorned the shoulders of golf’s elite since the tournament’s inception. Its vibrant hue mirrors the lush fairways and greens that test competitors each year. This storied jacket carries the legacy of champions and the dreams of every golfer aspiring to wear it. Beyond being a mere garment, the Green Jacket signifies the peak of exceptional skill, unwavering dedication, and sportsmanship displayed on the golf course.

The champion, honored with this jacket during the presentation ceremony, experiences an unforgettable moment of glory. This ceremonial act is not only a victory celebration but also a rite of passage, granting the winner a place in The Golden Divot’s storied history. Over the years, The Green Jacket has borne the marks of unparalleled celebrations, sporting beer and wine stains, sun damage, and even serving as a makeshift bed. It has even harboured wasp nests, showcasing its resilience and the joyous escapades it has witnessed. Only under the Board’s discretion may it be worn outside this sacred occasion, and it must forever find its home within the revered walls of Divot Lodge, where it stands as a perpetual reminder of greatness achieved.

The Rusty IO-IRON

The Rusty 10-Iron Trophy has been an integral part of The Golden Divot Golf Day since its inception in 2001. This unique event epitomises the essence of character, unwavering determination, team spirit, and tenacity on the golf course. From its very beginning, the Rusty 10-Iron has been a source of cunning bets, exaggerated scoring, and unbridled camaraderie, fostering countless moments of laughter and shared memories among participants. It’s not just about individual prowess; if your score has suffered on the day, your mate can always pull you out of the rough, embodying the true spirit of teamwork and mateship.

As a combined team event, it brings together golfers in a way that transcends individual performance, celebrating the collective effort and spirit of cooperation. The Rusty 10-Iron Trophy stands not only as a symbol of competition but also as a reminder of the enduring bonds forged through the love of golf and the joy of shared experiences on the fairways. It’s these bonds, strengthened through shared challenges and victories, that make the Rusty 10-Iron a cherished tradition and a highlight of The Golden Divot Golf Day.
