Golf: Aickin joins Turner

New Zealand Golf administrator Phil Aickin is to join the new organisation established by former touring professional Greg Turner.

Aickin, who has worked for New Zealand Golf for 12 years, is expected to contract services to the national organisation within his role with Golf Tour of New Zealand, the company founded by Turner and sports management specialist Kerry Powell last year.

Aickin spent six years as programme manager of the Titleist Golf Academy before stints as general manager, chief executive and operations manager.

Following the death of former chief executive Grant Clements, Aickin took on more administrative responsibility.
