Since graduating the PGA Pathway Program in 2022, Phil has moved from the Pro Shop Manager role into a more coaching orientated role. One of the things he enjoys the most is seeing his students progress and gain skills to allow more enjoyment from the game.

Phil discovered golf when he was 22 and promptly joined Gold Creek Country Club as a member, and shortly after, his career in golf also started. After 8 years of falling in love with playing the game, Phil had the opportunity to continue his career at Federal. In 2020, Phil embarked on his journey to becoming a PGA member and now is proud to call Federal home.

Phil is currently the Junior Program Coordinator, the SWinG Program liaison and runs Phil's Phundamentals. He specialises in beginners and group classes.
