Mel Lewis, PGA of New Zealand

About the Author: Mel Lewis, PGA of New Zealand

Mel’s family background in golf goes back generations. Most golfers will recognize some of his famous golfing ancestors: Allan Robertson, Golf’s first Professional

Thomas “Old Tom” Morris and his son “Young Tom Morris”. Both British “Open Championship” Winners

David “Auld Daw” Anderson, a St. Andrews Legend

Jamie Anderson three times British “Open Champion” 1877-1878-1879.

Also great grandfather , whose club-making company, D. Anderson & Sons, exported thousands of golf clubs and balls from St. Andrews, Scotland, to the United States of America from the end of the 19th into the 20th century.

Mel served a five year apprenticeship as a maker of handmade golf clubs, becoming the last family member in five generations of club makers.

He became a member of the Professional Golfers’ Association of New Zealand in 1969.

From 1993 until 2007 he was the Golf Tournament Director at Braemar Country Club in Tarzana, California. A popular Los Angeles venue for Charity Fundraiser Tournaments.

Think of the free information on any of my fundraising blogs as just being "THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG."

Golf Tournaments 101 is full of suggestions, charts, tips, and money making ideas you may never have thought of. I’m confident in saying, I don’t believe there are any other charity fundraising guidebooks on the market that will provide you with as much easy to understand information. It will help make the planning and running of your “One-Day Charity Fundraising Golf Tournament” a rewarding success. At just US$29.95 the modest purchase price should easily be rewarded many, many times over with the increased revenue you’ll surely bring in for your charity.
