Captain Crawford Giles, have worked extremely hard with our management team over recent years to improve our financial results and should be congratulated on reaching a strategic goal of a break-even result prior to entrance fees for the first time in 2019/20. With the clubhouse project close to completion, the budget for the 2020/21 year forecasts a significantly lower operating result due to the impacts of interest and depreciation which are explained in the financial report within this Annual Report. It is expected to take a few years to return to a break-even result prior to entrance fees without alternative income sources. Annual Report 2019/20 Page 7

IN LOVING MEMORY John Blunden 4 APRIL 1930 – 15 FEBRUARY 2020 It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of John Blunden earlier this year. He was a tremendous stalwart of the Club, having served in many capacities. He joined Kooyonga in 1974 from the Tea Tree Gully Golf Club and was joined by his brother, Bill in 1977. John was not a ‘championship’ golfer, however he did win his share of club events including the B Grade Trophy on two occasions in 1995 and 1998. He stood for Committee in 1990 and was elected. He went on to Chair the House Committee and in 1998 Chaired the ever important Match and Green’s Committee. I was fortunate to have John as my Vice Captain in 1997 and 1998, as his meticulous manner and wise commentary was of great benefit to me. He subsequently became Club Captain in 1999 and 2000 and his wise and meticulous counsel enabled him to serve the Club with great distinction and leadership. He was deeply involved in the Club’s 75 year celebrations, finalised the installation of the course automatic watering system, assisted in the appointment of Steven Newell as the Course Superintendent and guided the implementation of the Course Master Plan which had been formulated over the previous two years. Some of the factors involved in that Master Plan are still well in vogue today. John was elected the Club’s President 2015-2017. As previously, he took this position most seriously and was always available to assist current administrations when asked. Outside of golf John was a strong family man with his wife Fay, also a long term Kooyonga member, they had five daughters and a son who unfortunately died prematurely. He was a great Aussie Rules football player, having been a two-time premiership player for his beloved North Adelaide Football Club. He won the Club’s A Grade Best and Fairest Award on two occasions. After his playing career had finished he became a member of the Club’s Committee, serving as it’s Chairman for many years. He was granted Life Membership of the SANFL. A lot of Kooyonga members will recall the 1952 Grand Final in which North Adelaide defeated the more fancied Norwood side. It was in this match that the famous and much publicised mark was taken by Ian McKay over Norwood’s Pat Hall. John always indicated that it was he who had actually kicked the ball for McKay to take that mark. He would also concede that sixteen other players could make the same claim! It could have been the influence of his Captain, Ian McKay for John to come to Kooyonga as Ian had become a member of our Club in 1975. John, together with his brother Bill, successfully ran the family building business W.H. Blunden Pty Ltd. Up until 1980 I was involved in the building industry as a supplier and as a sub-contractor and like many in those fields, we were always pleased when Blunden won a contract as we knew the job would go well and most importantly, we would be paid! Many architects of the day were glad to see Blunden on their tender list and even more pleased if they won the tender, for they knew the job would be done well and on time – such was the reputation of the people involved. A great number of older Kooyonga members will remember John with great warmth and respect. We all share the grief of John’s family at this time and we trust we will continue to see brother Bill at the Club for many years. Well played John.

A CELEBRATION OF LIFE David Martin 26 OCTOBER 1953 - 2 APRIL 2020 It is with an extremely heavy heart that I write this article to acknowledge and celebrate the life of David Martin who passed away in April. Following the recent death of John Blunden, we have lost another member of Kooyonga royalty. David was an eminent, low-marker golfer with a smooth, methodical swing, for which many of us were extremely jealous. He represented the Club fifty times in the Simpson Cup, winning on twenty-six occasions and halving twice. This is a very fine win/loss ratio in a very strong competition. He won many Club events including being a medallist on ten occasions. David Joined Kooyonga in 1974 and soon came under the influence of two people, Bay McDonald and Graham Keane. Both these gentleman had forged great reputations in golf administration. They both had been Club Captains, Presidents of SA Golf and Presidents of the National Australian Golf Union. It was not long before David became one of Kooyonga’s delegates to SA Golf, a position he held for well in advance of 20 years. He became its Vice President in 1994, remaining so until 2005 when he became the President. He was still President at the time SA Golf and SA Ladies Golf merged in 2008. Most of this time he was a South Australian delegate to the Australian body 1994 to 2008 when the Australian Golf Union merged with the Australian Ladies Golf Union. He remained on the new Board until 2010. If this merger had not taken place for two years, David was ear marked to become the old Australian Golf Union’s President. He was elected to manage the Australian Amateur Men’s team when it toured New Zealand in 2004. His contributions at a State level included being on SA Golf’s executive Committee for 15 years. Also, he was on the Committee which staged the major tournaments we enjoyed between 1996 and 2006. These tournaments at Kooyonga included the SA Open, SA Ford Open, Jacob’s Creek and Nationwide Opens. I first met David in 1973. He was a nephew of the Administrator at Prince Alfred College and was enjoying some work experience at the College at that time. He was a genial, quiet, self-motivated young man who endeared himself to the College staff. This took place during holidays while he was studying for his Law Degree. Golfing genes were well and truly engrained in David as he was a nephew to the great Bill Shephard one of, if not the greatest player to have been a member of our Club. His mother Gwen, was Bill Shephard’s sister. David’s two cousins, Sandy Robinson and Skye Jarvis who are daughters of Bill, are still very much involved at Kooyonga. He was elected to Kooyonga’s Committee in 1988, became Vice Captain in 1993/94 and then Captain for the years 1995/96. I served as his Vice Captain in this time. He became the Club’s President in 2012/13, but due to ill health, did not complete his three year term. I was privileged to propose him for Life Membership of our Club in 2013, which was unanimously endorsed by the members. At the conclusion of our 75th celebrations in 1998, David wrote me a letter thanking everybody connected with the activities. I want to share two things he outlined in said letter. Firstly, after saying what a marvelous week it was, he wrote (and I quote) “I have always been proud to be a Kooyonga member, I am now even prouder, if that is possible”. Then, his last sentence, and I quote “Only one question remains – how do we top that in 25 years?”. He was always of the opinion that more should be done to educate new and young members of the Club in the history in the development of the Club, that they are now to inherit. David was 66 years of age when he passed away, still a relatively young man. However, the last seven or so years of his were very difficult times for him. Suffering from a severe disease which necessitated him travelling to the dialysis clinic at Payneham twice, sometimes three times, a week were extremely laborious. But he was a fighter and until recent times, he was still able to make his way to Kooyonga to keep in contact with his host of friends. He might not have been able to complete 18 holes on some occasions, other times he would arrive not to play, just to have a coffee and a yarn. He will be sorely missed, the world needs more people like David. Well played David, rest in peace. Bill Johnson Club Archivist

Annual Report of the Committee Match Kooyonga has had Average Weekly Competition Fields another busy year with regular daily competitions Tuesday Wednesday Saturday and major Club events well patronised prior to 2015/16 94 167 159 COVID-19 restrictions that halted competition golf in 2016/17 79 167 172 mid-March 2020. Thank you to all members for their 2017/18 81 166 174 participation and the spirit in which golf is played at 2018/19 92 164 169 our Club, in particular over the last couple of months 2019/20 91 160 176 as we have contended with restricted tee times and social only golf due to The average field sizes on our key competition days of Coronavirus. Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday remain reasonably Approximately 48,500 rounds were played at Kooyonga consistent as can be seen in the table provided above. in the last year, 86% of which were member rounds. The The small increase in Saturday field sizes was partly due numbers would have been greater were it not for COVID-19 to growth in Category 2 member access to the course and the Committee has some concerns about the increasing on a Saturday, however with playing rights for Category 2 number of rounds played due to increased wear and tear on members on a Saturday removed from 1 April 2020 we do the course. In fact, member rounds are up 20% over the last not expect further growth in the year ahead. 5 years, with no signs of abating in the foreseeable future, The Match Committee will continue to review ways of with Coronavirus restrictions likely to see more demand for reducing the number of rounds which may include different member rounds as evidenced in recent months. competitions being introduced on some days, increased time intervals or other measures. Introduced Visitors, 4464 Corporate Golf, 1284 Speed of play appears relatively stable at Kooyonga on key Special Events, 949 competition days with the overall average round completed in 3 hours 55minutes and 25 seconds, just 20 seconds Social Rounds (estimate), 10132 longer than the average reported last year. The Rules of Golf have no doubt assisted over the last 12 months with the time allowed to look for lost balls reduced from 5 minutes to 3 minutes. Committee continue to monitor time per round reports and conduct marshalling to help keep a track of offending members and educate them on ways to improve their place in the field. I encourage all members to assist by keeping up with the group in front. Competition Rounds , 31509 The General Committee had many discussions about the red penalty area between the 9th and 10th holes and concluded that the area which was defined by the red stakes was too expansive and generous in terms of relief, in particular on the side of the 10th fairway. Ultimately the decision was made to follow the same methodology that Golf Australia uses to define the penalty area. When the changes were made it was recommended that if a golfer hits his/her ball into the scrub/tree area and is not at least 95% certain that the ball is at rest in the burn then that golfer should play a provisional ball under Rule 18.3. With golfers now only having 3 minutes to look for a lost ball which previously had been 5 minutes as mentioned earlier, it was thought that the speed of play should not be as much of an issue as in the past.

Annual Report of the Committee Match Early in 2020, the Committee made a change to the Saturday i.e blue, white, red, yellow, etc. These changes will continue prize allocation to increase the prize value for the top 5 to be reviewed over the coming months when competitions placegetters in each grade to reduce the overall distribution resume. of down the line prizes nearer to 30% of the field.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts For the yearTHE KOOYONGA GOLF ended 31 MarchCLUB INCORPORATED 2020 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2020 Note 1 - Statement of Significant Accounting Policies The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act of 1985 (SA). The financial report of Kooyonga Golf Club Inc complies with all Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in their entirety. Basis of Preparation The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs and does not take into account changing money values or, except where stated, current valuations of non-current assets. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in the exchange for assets. Unless otherwise stated, the accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous year. The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the entity in preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. a) Recognition of Revenue The Club records entrance fees as non-operating revenue rather than as an item of operating revenue in the income statement. The Club recognises entrance fees over the average tenure of our current membership which is currently 21.2 years as required by AASB 15. This results in a difference between the cashflow from entrance fees during the year and the recorded entrance fee in the statement of comprehensive income. The Club recognises subscription revenue in the year to which they relate with amounts received prior to 1 April being recognised as Subscriptions in advance. The Club recognises Bar, food and Golf shop revenue at the time of sale. b) Income Tax The Club is exempt from income tax under Section 23(g)(iii) of the Income Tax Assessment Act . Therefore no tax has been provided in the accounts. c) Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. d) Property, Plant and Equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Property Freehold land is shown at cost. Building is shown at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Plant and Equipment Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives to the Club commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates for each class of depreciable assets are: Annual Report 2019/20 Page 42

Category Useful Lives Buildings - Brick & Stone 5% - Wood & Iron 10% Course development 10% Watering system Bores 4% Plant & equipment 5% Computer equipment 10 -20% 30% Impairment of Assets At each reporting date, the Committee reviews the carrying values of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement. Where it is not possible to determine recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Committee estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. e) Employee Benefits Provision is made for the Club's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year together with benefits arising from salaries and wages, annual leave and sick leave which will be settled after one year, have been measured at their nominal amount. Other employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the liability for employee entitlements to long service leave the Club has satisfied itself that based on past experience, the accrual of the Club's long service leave liability based on remuneration rates and on costs current at balance date for all employees with five or more completed years of service provides an estimate of the long service leave liability not materially different from the estimate determined using the present value basis of measurement. f) Goods and services tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST. g) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet. Annual Report 2019/20 Page 43

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts For the year ended 31 March 2020 THE KOOYONGA GOLF CLUB INCORPORATED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2020 Note 1 - Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (cont) h) Leases At inception of a contract, the Club assesses if the contract contains or is a lease. If there is a lease present, a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability is recognised by the Club where the Club is a lessee. However, all contracts that are classified as short-term leases (ie a lease with a remaining lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets are recognised as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Initially, the lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments still to be paid at commencement date. The lease payments are discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Club uses the incremental borrowing rate. The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, as well as any initial direct costs. The subsequent measurement of the right-of-use assets is at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset, whichever is the shortest. Where a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset, or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Club anticipates to exercise a purchase option, the specific asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. h) Comparative Figures When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. Certain comparative figures have been restated where necessary to conform with current period presentation. i) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations The Club has adopted AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and as a result has changed its accounting treatment for Entrance Fees during the year. The Club adopted the modified retrospective approach and has not re-stated prior year figures. Entrance Fees were previously recognised when they bacame due but are now recognised over the average membership tenure of our current membership base. The change in accounting policy has resulted in an adjustment to the following accounts: Account 2020 (Decrease) in Retained Earnings (2,609,728) (Decrease) in Entrance Fee Revenue (41,321) Increase in Entrance Fee Liability 2,651,049 The Club has adopted AASB 16 Leases retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying AASB 16 recognised at 1 April 2018. In accordance with AASB 16, the comparatives for the 2019 reporting period have been restated. The Club has recognised a lease liability and right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of short-term and low-value leases) recognised as operating leases under AASB 117 Leases where the Club is the lessee. The lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments. The Club's incremental borrowing rate as at 1 April 2018 was used to discount the lease payments. The right-of-use assets for the remaining leases were measured and recognised in the statement of financial position as at 1 April 2018 by taking into consideration the lease liability and prepaid and accrued lease payments previously recognised as at 1 April 2018 (that are related to the lease). The following practical expedients have been used by the Club in applying AASB 16 for the first time: - for a portfolio of leases that have reasonably similar characteristics, a single discount rate has been applied; - leases that have remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 April 2018 have been accounted for in the same way as short-term leases; - the use of hindsight to determine lease terms on contracts that have options to extend or terminate, - applying AASB 16 to leases previously identified as leases under AASB 117 and Interpretation 4: Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease without reassessing whether they are, or contain, a lease at the date of initial application; - not applying AASB 16 to leases previously not identified as containing a lease under AASB 117 and Interpretation 4. j) The following tables summarise the impacts of adopting AASB 16 on the Club's Financial Statements.
