AGMS graduate Adam completed an internship at Saadiyat Beach Club in 2013 before being offered a full-time role within Troon International. “I started my career with Troon during my time at university through summer placements. Upon graduating I returned to Saadiyat Beach Golf Club to work in different departments for a month, from this I was offered the Senior Golf Operations Supervisor position at Address Montgomerie and started in September 2014. I then moved to Royal Golf Club in Bahrain and The Els Club Malaysia for a summer, this brings me to October 2018 when I moved to my current position at Dubai Hills Golf Club. “I currently manage the golf operations on a day-to-day basis, and manage other departments including tenants, engineering, memberships, sales and marketing plans, reporting to the owners and to the Troon International corporate team. “Working with Troon provides you with incredible opportunities and the practices in place are the best in the business. I am fortunate to have a lot of responsibilities as a 27-year-old from Newcastle, leading a team of over 54 associates at one of the best golf courses in the world.”
