About the Tuohy Family

About the Tuohy Family

The Tuohy Family is synonymous with Glenelg Golf Club and an outstanding family to be honoured by this event.

Bob Tuohy has been an active contributor to golf at this Club, locally, nationally, and internationally for more than 50 years. He has had an amazingly successful career as a tournament promoter, responsible for some of the biggest tournaments in Australia Et New Zealand, including the ANZ Ladies Masters, NZ Open, NZ PGA, The Player’s Championship and Tour Championship, and the Jacob’s Creek Open to name just a few. And it all started with the 1976 West Lakes Classic at which a young golfer by the name of Greg Norman earned the first of many tournament wins at Grange Golf Club.

Bob was a reasonable player too:

• C Grade Champion in 1954 at age 13;
• 1955, 56 Et 57 Club Foursomes Champion.
• 1957 State Amateur Champion
• 1957 State Junior Amateur Champion

Then in 1958, he dominated the local golf scene as an 18-year-old, winning the State Amateur, State Junior Amateur, State Foursomes, State Mixed Foursomes, the Club Championship, and the Jimmy Mclachlan Trophy, among other events. Bob turned professional shortly afterwards, and had a distinguished career on the Pro circuit, winning 13 different tournaments in 8 different countries, and was a consistent bridesmaid on 29 separate occasions.

In 1990, Bob was awarded Honorary Membership of the PGA Tour of Australasia for his services to professional golf in Australia, and in that year Tuohy Associates launched Australia’s highly successful Australian Ladies Masters on the Gold Coast and soon after was instrumental in reintroducing the Women’s Australian Open Championship.

Bob’s wife, Sue Tuohy, can stand on her own two feet as well in regard to golfing achievements and contributions to the game of golf at Glenelg. She is a multiple Club Champion, Club Foursomes Champion, Laurel Wreath winner and has won numerous Club Mixed Foursomes Championships with both her husband and son Ben. Sue’s pedigree for golf is undeniable as her mother Rhonda Watson OAM, undoubtedly remains one of the most outstanding female golfers, and arguably one of the best amateur golfers Australia has ever seen.

And the lineage does not stop there with Bob and Sue’s son, Ben Tuohy, already an accomplished golfer at Glenelg Golf Club, consistently playing off a scratch handicap and having won the 2003 State Amateur Championship, the Club Championship on three occasions, multiple Club Foursomes Championships and represented the Club in Simpson Cup in well over 100 matches.
