Golf pro keen to start

HorshamGolf Club professional Cameron Howell will officially start with the club on Monday.

Howell has previously worked at Royal Adelaide Golf Club as club professional, running his own business for the past 21 years.

Horsham club president Leo Delahunty said he was delighted to confirm Howell’s start date.

“I look forward to his positive input and I am sure he will get the terrific support from our members and the broader community,” he said.

Howell has worked with many of Australia’s leading players and earned a reputation as one of the nation’s top golf coaches.

Following a successful amateur career he turned professional and became a PGA member in 1987. He played full time on the Australasian Tour until 1997, which included winning the Victorian PGA Matchplay championship at Woodlands GC.

He also has had top-10 finishes in the Australian Open, Australian PGA, Australian Players Championship and New Zealand Open.

He has won more than 60 pro-am tournaments and set several course records.

“I am extremely excited to be joining the team at Horsham Golf Club – a renowned Australian country course, which I have been fortunate enough to play numerous times in pro-ams” Howell said.

“I bring over 30 years of golf and coaching experience with me to Horsham and I am passionate about providing the very best coaching experiences possible – engaging, educating and inspiring my students to enhance their performance and enjoy their golf more.”

Howell and his wife Anne have made the shift to be closer to family in Melbourne as their son Benjamin approaches high-school age.

Mr Delahunty said Howell’s arrival in Horsham would signal the beginning of a new era of golf merchandising, coaching and development of Horsham’s Golf Academy and junior programs.

Howell will be available to teach in 30-minute increments and people can call the club’s pro-shop on 5382 3312 to make a booking or for information on times and pricing.
