Mark Unwin CEO Australian Golf Course Superintendent’s Association
“On behalf of the AGCSA I would like to thank you for your involvement in the Conference (2019 Asia Pacific Turf Grass Conference) and ensuring the events you MC’d ran smoothly throughout. Nothing but positive feedback from delegates on the event, which no doubt was a result of the effort and your professionalism throughout the sessions.”
Many thanks again.
David Allen Executive Officer Golf Management Australia
“Bruce Young was engaged by Golf Management Australia (GMA) to MC our opening conference function and also to facilitate Day 1 of the GMA National Conference 2015. Bruce performed both tasks superbly and his professionalism shone through to all delegates in attendance. One of the highlights was Bruce’s ability to ask the “harder” questions of some of our speakers and this ensured all sessions under his watch provided robust yet entertaining discussion. Congratulations and thank you Bruce on a job very well done.”
Peter Sugg, Managing Director AST Group of Companies
“Bruce Young has hosted a number of events staged by AST Management and has proven to be an outstanding MC with a great variety of skills.
Bruce has shown a capacity to interpret our requirements irrespective of the nature of the event whether they be conferences, lunches or Q&A sessions and his preparedness to research a subject has left him comfortable in front of any gathering.
Bruce’s manner and warmth on stage has played a key role in the success of the events in which we have used him and I would have no hesitation in recommending him for any such role.”
Robert Hogan – Manager Corporate Affairs – RACV

I would like to acknowledge the major contribution you made to the success of these important events as the official Master of Ceremonies. Your professional approach, eye for detail, knowledge of the game and players, and your commitment to researching background information on each of the four high-profile players you interviewed as part of the lunch program, ensured successful and engaging events. In addition, I would like to thank you for the media advice and other support you provided during the Masters. I look forward to working with you in the future.”

In that time Bruce has proven himself to be not only an extremely well researched and thoroughly professional contributor, but one who has a played an important role in the success of our show. Bruce’s knowledge and understanding of the game shines through consistently in the three segments he provides for us each week.

“On behalf of Golf Queensland I wish to thank you for acting as the Master of Ceremony at the Queensland Golf Forum held at Victoria Park Golf Complex on Tuesday March 13th. The forum was a resounding success, and the knowledge and professionalism you put into ensuring the event ran smoothly was reflected in the excellent feedback we received from attendees. Many guests commented on your positive energy and enthusiasm throughout the day. We look forward to working with you again in the future.”
Jenny Sevil – Director of Women in Professional Golf Calendar
“Bruce hosted the Women of Professional Golf Calendar sponsors’ lunch at the Villa on the Gold Coast last year and his involvement as MC played a key role in the success of the day. Bruce not only ensured the lunch ran smoothly but his panel chat with four of the calendar girls proved interesting and entertaining due to his great rapport with the players. Bruce will again be involved when we hold the lunch in early 2009.”
Chris Bagley – General Manager Emerald Lakes
“Bruce Young has provided MC and tournament media services for the Greater Building Society’s Queensland PGA Championship held at Emerald Lakes over the past few years and much of the successful staging of the event and the benefit we at Nifsan have derived from the event has been due to Bruce’s involvement. Bruce has not only ensured the name of Nifsan and Emerald Lakes has gained maximum exposure as a result of our involvement but he has played host at the launch and prize-giving ceremonies for the event and the Daikin Night Golf Shootout which has become a feature of tournament week. Bruce will again be involved in a similar role at this year’s Australian Masters Invitational at Emerald Lakes.”

“Bruce Young has been the golf contributor on my Saturday Morning Dugout Show on Radio Sport since 2002 and offers a consistently high standard each and every week. His coverage of events in which New Zealanders are participating and on the game of golf generally is wonderfully received by our audience. That he is able to do so from his Gold Coast base is evidence of not only his tremendous understanding of the game but his capacity to research extensively.”

This year’s event attracted close to 400 delegates which is a fantastic result and an indication of the quality and diversity of the program.
