AFTER more than a decade of service, Hawks Nest Golf Club (HNGC) will bid a fond farewell to long-standing PGA Head Professional, Andrew McCormack, who will officially finish his role at the club on 30 June 2025.
Andrew has been an integral part of the club for the past 11 years, leaving behind a legacy of professionalism, innovation, and community spirit.
“Since stepping into the role, Andrew has worked tirelessly to grow the game of golf, support our members and visitors, and lead a dedicated team within the pro shop,” said HNGC general manager Peter Davies.
“His impact on the club has been immeasurable.
“Under his leadership, the pro shop became more than a retail space – it became a hub of activity, learning, and connection.
“Supported by a fantastic team that Andrew mentored and led, including Beau McDonald, Glen Haynes, Jim Rutter, Paul Jackson, Lucas Delavere, and Harry Leggatt, the operation consistently exceeded customer expectations.”
Beyond his professional achievements, Andrew’s connection to the club runs deep on a personal level.
With his wife Emily also playing a major role in club operations and events in recent years, and their two young boys regularly seen around the course, the McCormacks have become part of the fabric of the club.
“Their departure marks the end of a very special chapter for Hawks Nest,” Mr Davies said.
Andrew’s decision to take up the role of Golf Manager at Pacific Golf Club in Brisbane represents an exciting new opportunity for both professional growth and family life.
“While we are sad to see him go, we are proud to have been part of his journey and wish him, Emily, and their boys every success as they begin this next chapter,” Mr Davies said.
“On behalf of the Board, staff, and all members of Hawks Nest Golf Club, I extend our heartfelt thanks to Andrew for his loyalty, leadership, and exceptional contribution over the past 11 years.
“He leaves this club in a better place than when he found it – a true testament to his character and commitment.”
