1. Tell us how you started your golf business…
I started golf coaching in 1989 and have had a registered business in one way or another since then
2. Tell us about your golf game?
I started playing in 1985, and turned pro through the Australian PGA in 1989. I have always been known as a strong ball striker but always struggled with my putter. These days I seldom play
3. Best and worst thing to happen to you on the golf course?
One of the most interesting things to happen, I was playing a golf tournament, I was -5 under coming around the 13th hole which was a dog leg left with out of bounds left and right side of the fairway, I decided to hit a driver over the dog leg, which I hit perfectly, the ball landed in the middle of the fairway and hit the concrete 100yd marker, bounced high in the air and through the fairway out of bounds. Hit such a great shot with the worst possible result
4. Best and worst foursome? (What 3 other players would be in your dream foursome and what 3 players would be in your nightmare foursome).
3 of my buddies, always happy to spend some time with the friends
5. If you could hang out with just one PGA or LPGA Tour player for a day, it’d be…? And what do you do/where do you take them in Hong Kong if golf is not an option?!
Tiger Woods – straight down to the local for a number of cold ones and a stern talking to
6. If you could play just one golf course for the rest of your life, it’d be…
Alpine Country Club in Bangkok, Thailand.

Clearwater Bay 3rd hole, Jeez that hole is a beast, it just has so many variations based on weather and the tee location
