WANGS History:

The Western Australian Naval Golf Society, commenced Friday 26 January 1979, venue was held at the HMAS LEEUWIN Gymnasium. The society was then called HMAS Leeuwin Golf Club (HLGC). It was the idea of a group of  sailors, that played golf,  servicing in the Royal Australian Navy in Western Australia area to commence a golf club to assist in selecting the WA Interservice Golf team. By the formulation of such a club it would allow selectors to observed players performance throughout the year.  

On January 22 1980, the HMAS STIRLING Golf Club was disbanded and an invitation from The HLGC was presented to the STIRLING members to join the HLGC.  On 19 August 1981, an extraordinary meeting was held, the outcome of this meeting was to thank the out going president Leut Bruce Fraser and welcome in the new President Nick Grundy and Club Captain Dave Wiseman.  In addition the motion was proposed and accepted to rename the HLGC.  The committee agreed to change the name of the club to  the Western Australian Naval Golf Society, (WANGS).  At the same meeting it was discussed to identify a home course. The Home course became Kwinana Golf Club. Today the home course is Rockingham Golf Club. 

On the 2 September 1981, it was decided to hold a weekend away in the November of each year for purpose of undertaking the Club championship.  The venue for the championship weekend away was to Busselton and the championship was held at the Busselton Golf Club where the  tradition continues today.
