GST Op

The Golf Southern Tasmania (GST) Open Series is an Order of Merit Multi Event Competition for male amateur golfers in Tasmania.  Events are played across many of the Golf Southern Tasmania Clubs.

The GST Open Series will provide a selection process for the Golf Southern Tasmania Thyne Trophy Team.  The GST Open Series commences with the first Event after the preceding Thyne Trophy and finishes with the final event before the Thyne Trophy.   The 25/26 season will commence with the Royal Hobart Cup on 24 August 2025 and conclude with the Southern Open on 18-19 February 2026. 

The winner of the GST Open Series will receive the historic Ashbarry Trophy which was previously presented to the Southern Order of Merit Winner in years gone past (TBC).

The Top 5 Players from GST clubs on the Open Series Leaderboard after the final event will gain automatic selection into the Thyne Trophy Team with the remaining three picks selected at the discretion of the Selection Committee.

Golf Southern Tasmania are working with clubs to implement a Women’s Open Series for the 2026/27 season.
