Head Golf Professional – Lisa Jean
I grew up in country Victoria where sport was expected to be played. I started playing golf with my grandparents (who were golf tragics) at the age of 8 at a very small club, Merrigum. My brother and I were the only juniors at the club for a long time and we were treated like everyone’s children or grandchildren. We played as often as we could. I fell in love with the game when I started to travel as part of the Victorian team.
I was lucky enough to attend the Australian Institute of Sport for 3 years and learnt a lot about the game and myself. I went to Oklahoma State University for a year before realising I didn’t want to study but play golf professionally. I turned professional in 2004 after obtaining my Ladies European Tour card on my first attempt. I played the LET for 6 years before injury sent me into early retirement.
My passion for golf couldn’t be lost so I became a teaching professional in 2010. Since then I have been a Club Professional at Tocumwal, Wollongong, Horsham and Huntingdale. I was a teaching professional at Albert Park driving range where I learnt a lot about club fitting and TrackMan. Recently I left the Australian Golf Service Centre at Sandringham Golf Links. I have been privileged enough to travel the world playing golf and I really enjoy imparting what I have learned over the years to others.
Lisa’s Teaching Philosophy
Golf is a game for all ages and levels. My teaching philosophy is based on the person as everyone is unique. I believe there isn’t one way to swing a golf club. I work with the person’s natural tendencies and abilities. Golf is a great game and I like seeing my students improve and enjoy their golf. As I have had a lot of injuries I always ask about people’s physical limitations and always strive to help them work around their incapabilities.

GOLF COURSE TESTIMONIAL
A Golfing Oasis
Set amongst a picturesque background of river gums, the course has unique signature holes including the 5th with a long water carry over to the green making it a challenging task for those that choose to risk it and hit straight for the green. The course provides relief on other holes including the other Par 3 11th and 15th.
