La Grande Mare is pleased to announce another senior appointment as we continue to shape our golf and hospitality offering. Ben Stimson will take up the role of Managing Director in April, ahead of the opening of the golf course this summer.

People have busy lives, so why do they choose to invest precious time playing golf? La Grande Mare’s Golf Performance, Director Susan Shapcott, PhD, PGA, has a pretty good explanation. Susan shared her insights into why people take up the sport, the critical role it often plays in their lives, and the value of social capital.

While focus is firmly fixed on La Grande Mare’s future, two people who have lived and breathed the project from the very beginning are Operations Manager Fay Boyd and Events Co-ordinator Bonny Hamilton. We sat down with them for a chat about La Grande Mare’s history, their pure enjoyment of playing on the new course and what makes the team behind the project so special.

Less than two months after the Golf Performance Centre opened, the transformation of La Grande Mare is also progressing well. We caught up with Fay Boyd, Operations Manager, La Grande Mare Golf Performance Centre, to discuss next steps.
