Our local golf club is expanding its services following the start of a successful training period of a new golf coach who says he is excited to help increase the range of golfing opportunities available at the Proserpine Golf Course.
The completion of two-thirds of Nathan Sothmann’s traineeship under the guidance of a PGA Professional, Roger Vandenberg, brings new prospects to the members of Bowen Golf Club – and especially those wanting to try their hand at the sport.
Nathan is a family man with a wife named Michelle, and two sons, Henry who is three, and Patrick who was born in November this year.
He said his main aim was a career in coaching golf and that he has always had a passion for sport – with his current handicap a nifty 1.9.
When the opportunity arose to coach at Proserpine, Nathan was fortunately on three months maternity leave from his previous job after his son was born.
“I am very thankful to Roger for giving me an opportunity to fulfill this passion,” said Nathan.
“It is now up to me to prove I can do it and make him and my family proud.”
Roger Vandenberg said Nathan is very passionate about his game, gets along well with the members, and does very well with the juniors.
“We all look forward to seeing him do well in his traineeship,” said Roger.
