1 Patricia Lumley My name is Patricia Lumley. I am 67 years old and have been a member of Coffs Harbour Golf Club for 30 years. I served on the Board of the Coffs Harbour Golf Club as Treasurer for a period of 2 years. During that time I was the Festival of Golf Director, one of our major events catering for visitors from all States. Over a period of ten years I assisted in the running of the Mid North Coast Veterans Championships. I am a State Rules Accredited Referee and have conducted On-Course Rules at my club, as well as refereeing at events conducted by Golf NSW and the Jack Newton Foundation. I have travelled extensively playing golf both overseas and within Australia. I have observed and discussed with other golfers their expectations, seen how different clubs and committees operate and have gained a knowledge of what players want. In particular, being a country golfer I offer an insight not necessarily found in metropolitan golfers. As a TAFE Head Teacher in the field of Office Administration, overseeing 5 full-time teachers and six part-time teachers, I was responsible for the preparation of budgets, allocation of resources, preparation of timetables and staff rostering. I also ran a small business teaching computing for two years. I hold a Bachelor of Education and a Bachelor of Financial Administration, both qualifications combined with my experience will be beneficial in the role of Golf Director. I am keen to expand my interest and participation in the.management and running of golf. Based on my work experiences and golf knowledge I know I can contribute to the success of Golf NSW.

3 Andrew Tharle I have been a member of Royal Canberra Golf Club for 24 years. During that time I have served on the Board and as Vice-Captain. I have also spent a number of years on the finance and match Committees. This was a very important period for the club rebuilding its clubhouse and building an additional nine holes. I am currently an active participant in the junior mentor program. I believe juniors and regional golf is extremely important to the growth of golf. This is displayed through enjoyment of attending regional golf events where possible, including sand greens events. I have twenty years of public service experience in a range of management and executive positions with a focus on financial management where I am currently the Head of the Finance and Commercial services area at the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. This position requires me to show leadership and that I fully understand the importance of setting longer term goals and the role of a Board. I have been a member of the Australian Society of CPA s for almost 20 years. I am fortunate enough to have won the Club Championship, Foursome Championship, junior championship as well as a number of other tournaments including the NSW mid-amateur and NSW sand greens championship. My devotion to Royal Canberra has extended to representing the Club around 180 times. I believe that my experience as a Board Member at RCGC together with my exposure to interclub, interstate golf coupled with my financial background would make me an effective contributor as a Director of Golf NSW.

8 Frank Gal My active involvement in golf administration at club level since 1992 and state level since 2000 has given me a sound appreciation of the Issues facing the broad spectrum of golf clubs; from the large metropolitan clubs to the small country dubs with a handful of members.

I have played a great many of the NSW country golf courses and am well known as Bushy Miller throughout the area. I am well aware of all issues affecting both sand and grass green courses and clubs in the country areas of NSW. My concerns are the declining memberships and the lack of juniors becoming playing members of country clubs which obviously also is to the detriment of non-country clubs as many of our youth migrate to the larger cities.
