Ryan Stores comes from humble beginnings growing up on a farm in
the Snowy Mountains region of NSW.





After getting a start and completing a greenkeeping
apprenticeship on a city golf course in Canberra, Ryan quickly
found himself wanting more. A trip to the USA as part of the Ohio
State Program gave Ryan everything he was looking for with vast
experience in tournament preparation on some of the biggest
stages in golf!





Returning to Australia for a period, it wasn't long before Ryan
found himself back in the USA after a phone call for a project
few could've asked for at the one and only Quail Hollow!





Following his epic adventures to and from the USA, Ryan came back
to the bush capital of Australia where he settled into a new
position at Royal Canberra Golf Club before the Superintendent's
seat became available and he was appointed the role. With a great
deal of new work under their belt and on the horizon at Royal
Canberra Golf Club, Ryan and his team are well positioned to
bring the course to a whole new and exciting standard.





Ryan's career is a steep one and one that shows what you can
achieve if you are dedicated and committed at what you do! Come
with us on this exciting ride as we hear about Ryan's incredible
career, what it's like maintaining a golf course is such a
challenging environment, and just where Royal Canberra Golf Club
is set to go in the future.





You hit 'em clean and we'll keep 'em green!
