Royal Wellington Golf Club at Heretaunga has appointed Kurt Greve as its inaugural Chief Executive.
Royal Wellington Captain Andrew Harcourt says there was an international search for the position and the club was fortunate to have attracted someone of Mr Greve’s experience and expertise.
“Kurt brings a wide range of golf management expertise to his role with us and his relationships with golf organizations and clubs in the United States, the Caribbean and Asia will be of considerable benefit to Royal Wellington.
