The Golf Course Superintendent Association Western Australia (GCSAWA) hosted the annual and well-supported Management Challenge on Monday November 10, 2026 at the picturesque Kwinana Golf Club. 

The event has been held for the last 40 years and is the association’s oldest event. Kwinana is 30 minutes south of Perth’s CBD - and nestled within native woodland - providing the perfect backdrop for some of the industry’s finest turf managers. It is renowned as one of the best designed and most challenging public golf courses in Western Australia.

Course superintendent Mitch Kirschke and his team presented a great course and super slick greens on a great day of golf and industry connection.
