Lisa thought of herself as the girl that would never play golf. Who has the time to spend the day chasing a little white ball around a paddock?! Lisa’s children, Dion and Trudy, ignited her interest in the game when the two of them started playing golf regularly at a young age.

Lisa heads the North Shore Golf Club’s golf operations team. In a nutshell, she is in charge of all golf administration, from competitions (setup through to results) to the annual programme of golf events and everything in-between.

Bevan grew up in a town called Waimate in the South Island and moved to Auckland in 2000 to work at a driving range in Swanson. When he was about 15 years old, Bevan started playing golf with a neighbour. Living only a kilometre from the course, he got hooked. Bevan would bike to the course every day after school, pulling his trundler along behind him.

Bevan has a background in playing at both the top amateur level and professionally, having played for Aorangi, North Harbour, Huapai Nobilo Pennants. A highlight for him was winning the Auckland Strokeplay Championship in 2004. From 2004-2006 he played in several qualifying schools around the globe being Australia, Asia and Canada. A highlight of Bevan’s short professional career at this stage was finishing 13th in the Fiji PGA Championship.

Bevan offers on-course coaching, shot-making, how to get out of trouble on the course using various shots (which he loves), short game strategy, full swing, and more. Bevan also speaks and can understand the Korean language.

Bevan gets great satisfaction from watching the improvements of those he coaches.
