About Me

Born and raised in Australia, Justin spent most of his time playing every sport he could. His passion for the game started at a young age watching his father play numerous professional tours around the world. His father was also a head professional at a course in Australia for 30 years where Justin completed his PGA of Australia training in 2002. He then went onto pursue a playing career and gained status on the Australasian PGA Tour, Canadian Tour and Asian Tour. He has also played many events in countries such as Tahiti, Vanuatu, Japan, Thailand, Fiji, Malaysia, Peru, Argentina, Papua New Guinea, Canada, Mexico, New Caledonia and China. Justin also spent a couple of years playing the mini tours here in the US.

During his time away from playing Justin spent his time coaching at his home club and further growing his education about the game.

Justin was also very fortunate to caddy for Greg Norman in the 2010 Australian Open at The Lakes Golf Club in Sydney. “It was an amazing experience caddying for one of the greats of the game.”
