Paultons Golf Centre in Hampshire has appointed former semi-professional footballer Rebecca Cork as its new Assistant General Manager.
The 25-year-old from Southampton joins Paultons from Stoneham Golf Club where she started her career in the golf industry after suffering an ACL injury while playing for Elite Talavera in Spain.
“Working in the golf industry is fantastic,” said Cork, who has a Sports Marketing degree from Solent University. “People are really welcoming, it is a great environment to be in. I am passionate about providing as many opportunities as possible for people to try the sport in a friendly relaxed space. With the driving range and academy course, Paultons is ideal for that, and I am excited to have the freedom to try new things here.
One of the events that Rebecca has introduced is a monthly women-only Balls & Bubbles event on the Toptracer Driving Range. At the first night more than 30 women attended, including staff from Paultons and sister site Bramshaw Golf Club, including General Manager Molly Pavey, who commented: “Rebecca has an infectious personality and her dedication to creating safe spaces for people to come and try golf for the first time, without any judgement, is really inspiring. The Balls & Bubbles night was the perfect combination of instruction, fun and fizz. I can’t wait to see how this night develops.”
