The Board of GMA Ltd is pleased to announce the appointment of Guy Chapple to its Board of Directors.

Guy has been General Manager of Yarra Yarra Golf Club in Melbourne for a number of years and has been in the golf management industry for around 20 years.

Commenting on the appointment, GMA President David Burton said "Guy has had a long and distinguished career in the golf industry and brings to the GMA Board both enthusiasm and experience. We welcome Guy to the Board as one of our two independent Directors."

Guy Chapple said "I am delighted to be appointed to the Board of Golf Management Australia.

"It is an exciting development period for GMA and I look forward to contributing to the Board to ensure we provide relevant initiatives and programs to support the development of Golf Club Managers, particularly the GMA’s national conference in Melbourne 2011."

Guy's appointment came about due to the resignation of former GMA Director Gordon Hurford.

"Gordon did a wonderful job as Chairman of our 2009 GMA Conference Committee." said Mr Burton. "We thank him most sincerely for all the efforts he made in making our conference so successful and all his other valuable input while on the Board of GMA. We wish Gordon all the very best for his future."
