Meet The Team

Hi Iain here – Welcome to the greenkeeping team. We are a highly qualified team with a variety of skills and specialisms in turf management, landscaping, fertiliser application and engine maintenance. Myself, I’ve been green keeping for 31 years and was the youngest head greenkeeper by a long margin when given the post in 1998. Prior to Bangor I was deputy head at Clandeboye GC and before that, as a youngster, worked at Shandon park gc.

I’ve gathered a lot of relevant qualifications over the years, including qualifications from Greenmount in sports turf management (top student in my year!), technical spraying certs and chainsaw licenses. Turf management science is developing continually and I’m currently studying for a Foundation degree in sports turf/horticulture with a view to gaining a BSC.  Outside Bangor Golf Club I’m married with 4 kids and interested in all sorts of things from horticulture to motorbikes. I enjoy every day on the golf course as my first love is turf culture. I have been very lucky throughout my career, greenkeeping has taken me to many parts of the world and I feel I’m only just getting going.
