If ever there is a cliche of someone rolling their sleeves up and getting into it, John embodied this. A 100% can do attitude from day dot and didn&#8217;t he get stuff done. After facing some serious challenges and curve balls, he can proudly look back at innumerable achievements, crack open a beer, enjoy his golf, and savour the thought of, in his words, retirement but not retirement, if that makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>Post John leaving, the Board has unanimously agreed that Daniel Paton be given the opportunity to take on the General Manager&#8217;s role, subject to an interim review period.<\/p>\n<p>Once again,\u00a0<span class=\"markls8rfhmp6 uM2yb\" data-markjs=\"true\">congratulations<\/span>\u00a0to John on an incredibly successful career and particularly on the wonderful job he has done at Monash Country Club. It is an understatement to say that Club is in a far better position than how he found it. His enthusiasm and can do attitude throughout his time here has resonated with members and staff and is a key reason the Club is as strong as it is today.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, we will not lose his smile from around the Club, with John staying on as member. If you see his name on the sheet, jump in and enjoy his company.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of farewells, John has opted for a low-key affair. He would rather thank the members for their support so we will be arranging a series of BBQs where John will act as the celebrity chef and be ready for a yarn before or after your golf.<\/p>\n<p>On behalf of all members, thanks again John for the memories and for contributing so heavily to the success that Monash Country Club is enjoying.<\/p>\n<p>Regards<br \/>\nJeff Bresnahan<br \/>\nPresident<br \/>\nMonash Country Club<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Members, Following John&#8217;s extended annual leave trip to the US\/Europe, he has returned to work, witnessed it being capably managed by Daniel and has formally advised the Board of his official resignation date on 31 August 2025.
