AFTER 16 years working at Parklands Golf Club, Craig Fetherston has moved to Centurion Park – the home of Wallsend Golf Club – and has been appointed as their head teaching professional.

Craig is looking forward to working hard on building up the junior section of the club into a strong position, working in conjunction with the Golf Foundation.

He said: “I have always enjoyed coaching, even though it has been on a part-time basis in the past due to commitments in the pro shop. Now the opportunity has arisen to concentrate on coaching full-time and I am very excited about it.”

He added: “The complex is undergoing a lot of development and, once completed, will have some of the finest facilities in the North East. The members have made me very welcome and have been very warming and supportive.”
