Bowood Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort has appointed David Stone as its new Golf Operations and Retail Manager to head up all commercial golf activities and daily management responsibilities.
David brings more than 17 years of experience working in the golf industry to the Wiltshire venue, having previously worked for the Tony Valentine Golf Centre, Saltford Golf Club, TaylorMade and Honma.
Most recently David worked on a self-employed basis as a sales agent for leading brands such as Bushnell Golf and Castore, whilst also offering sales and service training to small and medium sized businesses.
Discussing his appointment, David said: “I’m thrilled about my new role and eager to contribute to driving the game forward at Bowood, while meeting the changing preferences of the modern golfer. My goal is to create an exceptional and memorable experience both on and off the course, elevating every golfer’s journey while producing a thriving retail business.”
With an exceptional track record of sales profits and customer relationships, David is poised to elevate the golfing experience at Bowood to new heights. One of his key aims is to achieve the ‘59Club Service Excellence Award’, which recognises the UK and Europe’s leading golfing venues, teams and individuals who have provided the finest customer service and highest standards of excellence across the year.
David continued: “I’m keen to uphold the reputation and standard that Bowood has built up over the years. I’m lucky to be joining a very talented team of golf professionals with a large community of members, and I know together we can build a strong environment and continue to grow.”
