Fred Fensham Introduction
As a long standing member of Kyalami Country Club I am honoured and excited to be appointed as the clubs GM. For me, the club has always been more than a golf club, but rather, and as our motto states "My country home away from home". This is why, after being absent for a number of years I immediately put my name forward to serve on he GB, hoping to contribute in a positive way. Well, now we go the next step and take on the serious challenge of taking our club to the next level.
My background is that of brand building and sports marketing - my passion for not only the game of golf but golf courses comes from my years as MD of IMG SA, managing players, tournaments and sponsors, and with this I feel I have much value to add to lead the team at Kyalami CC along with the members, the Governing Body and the NPC.
Please be patient with me and the team as we tackle the task of gaining indepth knowledge of all the various aspects of the club and then, with improved communication, determination and passion, taking our club to the next level - and note, I am no Harry Potter and don't have a magic wand ! I will soon be engaging with many of our members as so many have experience in fields far beyond myself.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon at our home away from home.
Fred Fensham
