Phil Hartfield
Cronulla Bowling Club
This year’s winner has been in the industry for over thirty years.
It all began in 1973 as an apprentice greenkeeper at Penshurst Bowling Club. Completing his TAFE course at Ryde in 1975, he moved to Carss Park Bowling Club and then to Grandviews as an assistant. He became Head Greenkeeper for the next 6 years at Bundeena Bowling Club. He then moved to St. George for 4 years and to Cronulla Bowling Club for 8 years.
Taking a break from bowling greens he became assistant superintendent at St Michael’s Golf Club. He then returned to Cronulla Bowling Club upon request in 1997 where he is presently today. Phil has always been a great supporter of the NSW Bowling Greenkeepers attending most events over the years.
His contribution to his club, zone and district, his courteous and polite manner make him highly respected by bowlers and officials alike.
He is always willing to help out his fellow greenkeepers at anytime.
