Professionals Biography

Ashley Andrews

Ashley first came to the Golf Club as trainee professional in 1991 under Martin Stolz and went on to achieve distinction as Australian Trainee of the Year.  He followed this up with an excellent playing career, winning the Victorian PGA Order of Merit and having several top finishes in major Australian events.

In 1997 the opportunity then arose for Ashley to become one of our Head Professionals.  It is a role he has tackled with enthusiasm and enjoyment ever since as he continually seeks new ways to meet the member's needs.

Ashley has recently completed 10 years as one of the Head Professionals at the Barwon Heads Golf Club. He considers it a privilege to work in a club so steeped in rich history and tradition.

Ian Donnelly

Ian has been at Barwon Heads since 2001 and in late 2007 assumed the position as joint Head Professional, commencing a partnership with Ashley Andrews.  Ian has a vast experience as a PGA Professional and has the distinction of being one of only a handful of Master Professionals in Australia.

The Master Professional status is achieved through many years of sustained excellence in coaching and clubfitting, as well as undertaking continuous education in all facets of the game through the PGA Academy.

Ian is thoroughly enjoying his role at Barwon Heads.  He looks forward to continuing to serve the needs of the members and to uphold the traditions of one of the country's leading Golf Clubs.
