The new directors are Robert Crosby and Dr Jill Spargo.

Robert spent more than 30 years at National Australia Bank in a variety of senior management positions.

He is a former Board member of Golf South Australia and has been actively involved in handicapping, prostate course rating, medic rules and amateur status committees at state and national level.

Jill is a medical practitioner based in Melbourne and has been a board member of Women’s Golf Victoria and Golf Victoria and served on a range of governance committees.

Their knowledge will be a valuable asset to Golf Australia as we continue our work to increase participation and further grow the game.”

Golf Australia would like to thank outgoing Board members Anne Lenagan and Bruce Langford-Jones for their dedication and passion in their roles over several years.
