Profile
Started playing golf at 3yrs old in Singapore, taught by my father. I started competing in junior tournaments in Lae PNG at 10yrs old. Won the PNG Junior National Titles in 1981 in a playoff.
Started my apprenticeship at CoolangattaTweedHeads GC in June 1981. Won the Gatton Jubilee Junior Pro/AM and the PGA Trainee 4/somes Championships. Became a full memeber of the PGA in 1984.
From 1985 thru 1989 played practicaly full time on the Aus Pro/Am and main tours with some success. Had wins in Gayndah, Mackay, Whittlesea Victoria, Keysborogh Victoria, and finished top 10 Victorian PGA, Fiji Open.
Got back into the Club environment in 1989 as the teaching Professional at Studley Park Golf Club in Sydney before securing my first contract as Resident Professional at Proserpine Golf Club in the Whitsundays in 1990. I stayed there for close to 3 years and then moved to Kilmore Golf Club in Victoria as Resident Professional for 2 ½ years. From there I was offerd the Professionals contract at Rosanna Golf Club, a private golf club about 12k from the Melbourne CBD where I stayed fo 4 ½ years.
I wanted a position close to my wife Simone's family and my own, and was offered the opportunity to move back to QLD by Ashgrove Golf Club at the end of 1998. I've had a fantastic association with the club and its members for the last 12 years.
