Phil Brew (Managing Director) Phil has a dream - to create something great in golf for people to improve their own games so that they can enjoy the game of golf even more. Golf is life for Phil and he just wants to give back to the game, the game that has taught him so much about life.

He started golf relatively late, compared to the youngsters these days, at the age of 17 but he had a sporting pedigree behind him with his father playing competitive ball sports most of his life. Representing Australian Universities in Rugby and his home state of Queensland for many years, his father was a strong influence in Phil’s life. Golf was a sport Phil took to after a childhood of competitive cricket, rugby and tennis and immediately fell in love with the game. Taking only 4 years to reach a scratch handicap, Phil knew he wanted a career in golf. He won back-to-back Club Championships at his home Club of McLeod in Brisbane in 1988 and 1989 before deciding to start an apprenticeship to become a golf professional.

Phil did his apprenticeship at both Indooroopilly and Royal Queensland Golf Clubs. During the 3 years of his apprenticeship, Phil’s own game went from strength to strength with him winning the coveted Rich River Trainee Classic in 1991, a select field of the top apprentices in the country. After completing his apprenticeship and being awarded a PING Contract (awarded to him by virtue of him finishing in the top 10 from the Order of Merit of all the apprentices in Australia) Phil went on to pursue a playing career. After about 4 years, with moderate success (12 victories on the Queensland Sunshine Tour), Phil took a break from full-time professional golf. During his absence from full-time Pro Tour golf, Phil soon discovered a new passion.

Teaching the game of golf – helping others learn the game that had brought him so much joy. Although he had a dabble at it during his apprenticeship days, Phil was so caught up in his own agenda of playing himself back then that he failed to realize his true calling in life. So his teaching career began at Southlinks, Batam (Indonesia) in 1997, and then back to Brisbane, Australia at Algester Golf Centre for a year or so. It was back in Brisbane where he met his future wife, a young lady from Singapore. That is why he made his way back to this region again in 1999, to follow his love and hopefully pick up some work teaching golf and pursue this new chapter in his life.

Well he found work at NSRCC and began chasing his dream.
