Golf Queensland chair Peter Castrisos said Patrick has a strong background in relationship management which he has developed more recently in his role as General Manager, Client Services at Independent Fund Administrators & Advisers. “Patrick joins the Board as an independent director and will bring a wealth of financial and client services skills to the state association,” Mr Castrisos said. Mr Twomey, who has been a member of a golf club since 2005 and currently plays at Royal Queensland, cites his brother as
the driving force behind his interest in the game. “My junior skills were honed on the miniature 9 hole pitch and putt that my brother created on our parents acreage,” Mr Twomey said. “Golf is a passion of mine that has taken me all over the world playing at courses from England, Scotland, China, New Zealand, U.S, Fiji, Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia to name a few. “For me, playing golf has always been for the love of the game and the social enjoyment,” said Mr Twomey adding that he looked forward to becoming more involved in the governance and administration of golf in Queensland. Mr Twomey holds a Diploma in Financial
Services for both Superannuation and Financial Planning and is currently completing his Master of Business Administration (MBA). He joins fellow Board Directors Peter Castrisos (Chair), Carmel O’Keeffe, David Bell, David Brett, Judy Logan, Lorraine Matthews and Matthew Toomey.
