Trainee Professional: Steven Barnes

Having a love of all sports from a young age Steven began his golf at age 11 in his native homeland of South Africa. Progressing quickly through the junior rankings Steven began his competitive golf as Captain of his State team in u15s and u18s.

Being involved within the golf industry for over 13 years and having lived in Australia for 9 years, finally Steven decided that it was time to become a golf professional at the tender age of 31.

With this in mind he knew this decision was correct,  growing the game of golf and helping others to improve their game would be extremely satisfying.
