Appointment of Director of Golf
The Club is delighted to advise Members that Anthony Bambridge has been appointed as the Club’s Director of Golf. Anthony would be well known to many Members in his role as Golf Professional at Drouin Golf Club which included management and operation of the Pro Shop. Anthony brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the role and the Club is excited about the contribution Anthony will make in regard to developing and growing our golf operations, Member experience and Golf Membership.
Anthony’s appointment will see changes to the current structure of Golf Operations. Lee Dawes will transition into a devoted coaching role and will become the Club’s Head Teaching Professional. This will see Lee devote more of his time to golf training and coaching for current Members as well as expand his role into developing pathways for juniors and other potential new Club Members. As part of the new role, Lee will expand his profile within the local community and in the local schools attracting new Members and new people to our sport. The Club will continue to work closely with Lee and ensure that the Club financially invests itself in the pathway programs that will grow golf and grow our Golf Membership base.
Lee and Anthony will continue to be supported by Craig McIntosh who will continue his role as Teaching Professional and Pro Shop services. Craig will continue to conduct and drive the very successful junior golf clinics year-round.
Heath Jones has been appointed to the position of Chief Operations Manager and will continue to play a key role in the strategy around golf development and Member experience at the Club. The Club is fortunate to have four outstanding PGA Golf Professionals in its Golf Operations team and as such it is well placed to deliver on its strategic objectives around golf development at the Club.
Should any Member’s wish to discuss the restructure further please feel free to contact me.
Michael Hodge
Chief Executive Officer
