Mike had over twelve years’ experience managing golf clubs before joining Teed Up.

8 years were spent as Director of Golf (Golf Professional & GM ) at Mount Broughton Country Club, during this period he advised the club on course upgrades which saw the course ranking increase significantly. His staff provided service second to none and he was able to increase new Membership & Corporate play significantly.

During the period, he worked closely with the 5-Star Resort in developing one of Australia’s Top 100 golf courses.

Mike works closely with our Travel team to ensure we are playing the best golf courses on our tours and these are often hidden gems that he has discovered using his golf professional network.
