Tony started at Canterbury Golf in September 2025 with many previous years of experience in the sports industry, having worked closely with juniors, volunteers, and clubs across various levels of development. Previously, Tony worked for Harbour Sport (Regional Sports Trust) for over a decade where he held various roles focussed on school and club development providing him a strong skillset in program coordination, relationship building, and community engagement. Complimenting this, Tony has a deep passion for golf, having previously worked as a professional caddy at Tara Iti and more recently as a community coach and as a contractor for Canterbury Golf delivering Junior and She Loves Golf events. This background means he has great knowledge of golf tournaments and competitions, and importantly, a good understanding of golf clubs and the Canterbury landscape.

His role includes all organisational aspects of golf interclub, competitions and events, including:

• • Dealing with all general enquiries to Canterbury Golf.
  • Coordinating and managing all aspects of Canterbury Golf’s interclub competitions and tournaments.
  • Collating and managing the Canterbury Golf Calendar of Events

Tony is the friendly face that greets anyone visiting the Canterbury Golf office, and goes out of his way to ensure that all enquiries are dealt with in a friendly and efficient manner.
