Hello, I'm Matt.
I have been fortunate enough to work in the incredible golf industry since 2006. My journey began when I embarked on my PGA Apprenticeship at the Firmount Golf Park, also known as the Big Swing Golf Driving Range, in New Zealand. It was during this time that my passion for golf truly ignited.
After successfully completing the PGA Traineeship program, I decided to take a leap and head to Canada for an adventurous OE (Overseas Experience). Eventually, I found my way to Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, where I spent three years as an associate Professional, followed by an impressive seven-year tenure as the Head Professional and General Manager of the Yellowknife Golf Club.
The year 2020 brought about an exciting new chapter in my career as I gratefully accepted the position of PGA Professional at the Pakuranga Golf Club, working with the fantastic team at GolfHub. Currently, I proudly serve as the Director of Golf for the esteemed Pakuranga Golf Club, where I continue my unwavering dedication to playing golf, teaching the game, and providing customers with top-notch equipment tailored to their specific golfing needs.
Golf is my true passion, and I am genuinely enthusiastic about sharing my expertise and love for the sport with fellow golf enthusiasts. I strive to create unforgettable experiences for golfers of all levels, helping them reach new heights in their game while enjoying the beauty and camaraderie that is so deeply embedded in golf culture.
