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.
