AGCSA Scramble

As well as the AGCSA Golf Championships, the AGCSA also conducts the AGCSA Scramble at the Annual Australian Turfgrass Conference. The Scramble, currently sponsored by Toro, has been played in its current Ambrose format since 2009. Prior to that, between 2003 and 2008 the event was known as the AGCSA Corporate Cup (stableford), while AGCSA records show that the first AGCSA Conference Cup was held in 1997 at Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast.
