Pip plays an instrumental role in the running of Hororata Golf Club while also growing the game through the various programmes and initiatives she is engaged in.
Pip has been involved with the Hororata Golf Club, on the
committee, and in various other roles for 22 years. During this past year, Pip has filled the role of Secretary as well as providing support to the treasurer. She actively contributes to the finance, course and Café development committees at Hororata as well as joining the Executive of Canterbury Golf in 2016.
Pip’s major contribution to the future of Hororata Golf Club has
been her role in organising and running coaching programmes and events. She recognises the need to attract young people to golf and has started a number of programmes promoting the game to young people. She runs regular junior coaching at the club with the support of local professional, Kevin Hughes, as well as assisting schools in Darfield.
Pip also runs She Loves Golf days for women in the local area and there is now a large group of women having regular coaching at Hororata. Family golf days at Hororata have also been a great success with children, mums, dads and grandparents taking part in a fun, relaxed environment. Over the past year, Hororata Golf Club has had an increase in membership numbers which is a fantastic achievement.
Pip’s commitment to the Hororata Golf club and the game itself is outstanding. Whilst running her own business, voluntarily committing so many hours to the club is exceptional and it was with great pleasure that Hororata Golf Club nominated her for this award in recognition of her valuable contribution to the club.
