Meet the Manager: Lawrence Cherry

Stoneham’s Golf Services Manager explains why he’s thrilled to be part of the GCMA Mentor scheme... 

How did you get into golf club management?  

It was something I wanted to get into from quite a young age. I realised I probably wasn’t going to be good enough to be a playing professional, which is every 16-year-old golfer’s dream job. I went out to the States on a scholarship, was out there for a year, and it didn’t work out for me. 

I came back in 2016 thinking, ‘what I am going to do now?’ and, within three days of being home, a job opportunity came up at Stoneham. 

I’d been a member since 2008, so I knew the club well....
