The President moved to Shropshire in 1979 from Huddersfield where he was a PE teacher in a Secondary School. He has always been a keen sportsman with rugby and golf being his main interests. He played Rugby for Yorkshire and had an England trial in 1972 and played golf at Crosland Heath Golf Club, a course situated high on the Pennines.
After moving to Shropshire work commitments and family life restricted his time so he did not take up golf again until joining Hawkstone Park in 1990. He first became a committee member in the late 90's and after retiring from a Headship in Telford he became Golf Club Secretary in 2001, a post he held for 10 years.
He was very proud to become Captain of the Club in 2004 and through the years he has represented the Club in Handicap League, Scratch League, Hargrove and Ken Smith Trophy.
A highlight for him was to be Captain of our Ken Smith team when they won the County competition in 2004. On reaching the age of 55 he represented the County Seniors in friendly and league matches culminating becoming Shropshire and Herefordshire County Seniors Captain for 2014-15. The move to club President is now the next chapter in his golfing career and one he is very honoured to have been given. He is looking forward to the next two years and wishes the growing and supportive membership happy and enjoyable golf.
