Peter Smith has taken up the role of general manager at Hexham Golf Club, reuniting with former colleagues Andy Paisley and David Thompson at the Northumberland club.
Peter, who joins Hexham following a successful four-and-a-half years at Tyneside, will lead the management of the club while working closely with course manager David and head professional Andy.
“The opportunity to join Hexham was simply too good to turn down,” said Peter. “I loved my time at Tyneside, the club and all the members were fantastic and I left with a very heavy heart.
“I’m very much looking forward to working with David and Andy again, and I’m excited to be part of delivering an outstanding experience for members and visitors at one of the region’s premier members’ golf clubs.”
Peter, who started his career in golf at Matfen Hall and was one of the first people in the UK to complete the ASQ Level 5 Diploma in Golf Club Management, added: “Taking on this role will certainly be a new challenge, and I’m looking forward to getting into it fully this summer.
“Hexham has a fantastic reputation and I’m excited to be part of maintaining and growing that in the years to come as we enhance the offering to our members across all the areas of the club.”
