Mick Barnes - 1st Assistant Golf Shop Team Member Bio

After leaving school, I pursued a career in professional football, playing for Port Vale FC in England and Lower Hutt City FC in New Zealand. With over 25 years of experience, I worked closely with professional footballers and rugby union internationals, specializing in sports nutrition, psychology, and exercise science.
A passionate golfer, I served as Club Captain at TPGC for three consecutive years (2020, 2021, and 2022). In addition to my leadership experience, I trained in club fitting through Ping UK and certified in Wilson and Titleist ball fitting, bringing a wealth of expertise to help customers enhance their game.
