Golf: Bermuda PGA Elects Honorary Members
The Bermuda PGA held its Annual General Meeting at the Ocean View Golf Club, with Brian Morris and Cornell Bean elected as Honorary Members of the Association.
A spokesperson said, “The Bermuda P.G.A. held its Annual General Meeting last evening at the Ocean View Golf Club. At the end of the meeting, it was put forward to nominate and accept Brian Morris and Cornell Bean as Honorary Members of the Association for their work in and around golf in Bermuda and overseas. The general membership unanimously agreed.
Scott Roy, President of the Association said, “Both of these gentlemen have cemented themselves as true top professionals in Bermuda. Brian and Cornell are extremely admired by the golfing public and our members and have served the Association and the game of golf well in their careers. I am proud to be able to be able to work with them now and into the future as well as learn from them and their experiences.”
“Brian is a former President of the Bermuda PGA. He is a popular Head Golf Professional at Ocean View Golf Course having previously served in the same capacity at Belmont Hills. In addition, to being a Class A Golf Professional, Brian was also trained as golf course maintenance where he was a Supervisory Craft Foreman within the Bermuda Government Golf Courses at St. George’s Golf Club.
“Cornell Bean has served on the Bermuda PGA Executive for many years since first joining the Bermuda PGA under the late Frankie Rabain at Port Royal in 1984. He later moved to St. George’s Golf Club to complete his apprenticeship before taking over as Head Golf Professional at the Belmont Hotel & Golf Club where he served for many years operating as the concessionaire for the entire Golf Operation. Within the Bermuda PGA, Cornell Bean has concentrated on the importance of observing our constitution and education. He is an excellent teacher for golf and as a player was an outstanding match player.
“Both Honorary Members continue to serve – Brian Morris has helped to galvanize players with an enthusiastic tournament schedule and Cornell has committed to organizing educational workshops for members recertification and improvement.
“Congratulations to both PGA Professionals.”
