The Big Swing

The 9-Hole Golf Networking Event is a collaborative social and professional networking opportunity hosted at Maylands Golf Course on Friday, 26 September 2025, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

This event is designed to bring together university student societies, industry representatives from various professional firms, and members of the public in a relaxed and inclusive outdoor setting. The central aim is to facilitate meaningful conversations, professional connections, and community engagement through a shared sporting activity.

The event will feature a 9-hole round of golf played in a social, non-competitive format. Participants will be grouped in mixed teams to encourage interaction between students and professionals. Following the round, a casual networking session will take place at the course’s function area, where light refreshments and beverages will be served.

This event is part of an ongoing initiative to strengthen ties between tertiary students and industry, while promoting health, recreation, and career development in an informal, welcoming environment.
