Club appoints professional

Horsham Golf Club has appointed Cameron Howell as its new club professional.

Club president Leo Delahunty said Mr Howell was an ideal fit for the role, which includes teaching, pro-shop management and golf operation leadership.

Mr Howell has been club professional for the past 21 years at Royal Adelaide Golf Club where he had extensive business responsibilities.

“His previous golfing experiences include seven years playing on the PGA Australasian and Asian tours before starting a career as a club professional with various clubs,” Mr Delahunty said.

“Cameron has been looking for the opportunity to be involved with a club such as ours with all its various strengths including its close ties to the community.

“He is also pleased to be returning to Victoria, where he will be closer to his Melbourne family.”

Mr Delahunty said expectations were that Mr Howell would take up his new role in mid-october.
