Kitt Kerr Hape Simpson Foursomes & Takapu 30 Hole Strokeplay Tournament
Good afternoon to you all.
I write to inform the golfing fraternity of Hawkes Bay of an important appointment for the HB Golf Association that comes into place on Monday.
Many of you will be aware that in recent times we advertised for an Administrative Manager for the Association.
After advertising and interviewing we are pleased to announce that Andrew Jones (otherwise known as AJ) will start in the role as of this coming Monday 26th August 2019.
AJ’s role will be part time (approximately 20 hours per week) but there is flexibility within the hours - some weeks will demand more, some weeks less but the role is based on 20 hours per week.
AJ’s background to the job started with the Remuera GC in Auckland where after working with the Clubs Administrator for 5 years, he was offered the role on his own which he did for another 4 years. In 2015 he had the opportunity to start a NZPGA Apprenticeship, which enabled him to broaden his experience and expertise within the golf industry. In June 2017 (halfway through the apprenticeship) he was offered the opportunity to become the assistant professional at the Hastings Golf Club under Brett Allan, while completing his PGA apprenticeship. He completed the PGA training in 2018, his training covering golf coaching, game development, small business and management. AJ will continue to work in the Hastings pro shop part time.
So as you can see, AJ has an understanding of most things golf and after some initial help and guidance from the board, we anticipate AJ making the role his own before too long. I will be available to help as/if he needs it and Jack Sanders will continue with his role; looking after the finances so that AJ can concentrate on the golf.
AJ can be contacted through this email address ( info@hbgolfassociation.co.nz ) or mobile 021-316775.
I am still on the board and available if anything needs to be sorted, but in about a month I’ll leave the email contact responsibility in AJ’s capable hands. After then, my email contact address will be wayne@mudgways.co.nz
We look forward to a good relationship between AJ, the board, the clubs, the selectors, the referees and of course the players. ( Wayne Mudgeway )
Great these articles from other people, makes my job so much easier. Looks like a good weekend coming up so get our there and enjoy the game.
Good Golfing
