Practice Facilities & Teaching Studio

Philip Rust NZPGA - Wainui Professional

I have been involved in the golf industry all of my working life and had the privilege of working at some of the best courses throughout New Zealand. As a young golfer, I have represented New Zealand internationally and played interprovincial events for Otago and Southland. Scoring par at St Andrews in the World Schools Finals and finishing second has been my most memorable golfing experience. Keeping up to date with the latest hardware technology and development is a passion, with club fitting, building and repair a speciality of mine.

The Studio

The teaching Studio at Wainui is a purpose-built instruction, fitting, and teaching facility. The building offers video and flight scope technology able to film and measure a club’s position in the swing, ball speed, shaft, and face angle and give the golfer accurate shot information in a perfectly controlled environment no matter what the weather.

The Studio at Wainui is designed to improve your golf game and have your equipment custom-fitted in a seamless process. Preferred suppliers of Titleist, Ping, Mizuno, and Wilson staff
