Doble returns to Gower
Andrew Doble has returned home to take up the post of clubhouse manager at Gower Golf Club.
Originally from Three Crosses, the village next to the Gower course, Mr Doble, aged 31, takes up the position after 18 months as assistant general manager of the bar and brasserie at Machynys Golf Club.
"I originally moved away to Shropshire to work as a fine-dining chef, but I really feel that I've come home now," he said. "It's very exciting to be a key part of the management team here at such an interesting time. It's a really friendly club, and there's a great buzz about the place - you can just sense it's going from strength to strength."
The club, home to the Gower Gauntlet order of merit tournament, is now a designated Welsh Golfing Union Championship venue for 2007, and also hosts the annual West Wales Open event on the Dragon Tour, Wales pro golf tour.
The clubhouse is converted from a traditional farmhouse, and as well as the acclaimed Beacons restaurant, the club boasts four-star accommodation.
The course, designed by golf course architect and writer Donald Steel, is praised in the 2007 AA Golf Course Guide for its "strategic hazards" outstanding views and a challenging game of golf."
"I'm very pleased to welcome Andrew as part of the team," said club proprietor Adrian Richards. "His professionalism and experience will be a great boost to the club as we develop over the coming years."
