THERE are some new faces out at the Shepparton Golf Club, who are helping to not only raise the profile of the club but are helping move the club forward and make it a community hub for all to enjoy.

The new bar manager, function coordinator and chef, Tim Guppy comes with a bit of experience under his belt having worked at Fryers Café and Bill + Beats.

Tim said, “I have a lot of enthusiasm for hospitality and have a real drive to look after the customer and am looking at helping bring the wider community in to enjoy the club.”

The new head professional, Mitch McComas might be a new face to the role, but has previously worked as the assistant professional at the club.

Mitch said, “Coming back felt like coming home. It’s nice to see that there is positive change in the place and I am keen to see it moving forwards and see it become a community hub. I really want to showcase that the club is a family oriented place and in helping to do that I am running free junior golf clinics every Sunday for the rest of 2018.”

General manager, Gary Dixon said, “It’s great to have Tim and Mitch on board. We really needed someone like Tim who has had some great experience and we are already seeing the benefits through the differences he is making. We have introduced Friday night themed meal options, so we encourage the community to drop in and see what we have to offer.

“Re-engaging Mitch as the head professional is great. He is helping to grow the game of golf through his drive and passion. I’ve never come across a better fit than Mitch for this role.”
