The public meeting was confident of achieving success and as a result, the formation of the Port Sorell Golf Club (PSGC) took place. The PSGC commenced operations with nothing but enthusiasm and a lease on the course. The first competition was held on Saturday 4th October 1980 with the Associates asked to support the Saturday competition. The Associates held a meeting on the 22nd October 1980 to elect office bearers for their committee thus forming the official Associates Committee of the PSGC.
