    • Course Superintendent
      • Many of you will have heard that Andy Rutter, former Assistant Course Superintendent at Waikanae, has been appointed Course Superintendent to replace the recently departed Darren Shaw.  Andy has been a great worker over several years and has learnt his trade at our course.  It is, therefore, most fitting that we are now reaping the benefit of his training and considerable experience and expertise.
