Phil Purvis
Chair of the Management Committee

In 2017 the members of Broadstone Golf Club gave Phil the honour of being Club Captain and he is now having the opportunity of repaying them by being able to work on their behalf as a member of the committee as the club moves forward.

A retired Police Officer, who now works as a Forensic Collision Investigator, Phil previously served on committee from 2010 - 2016, including serving as its Chairman, and during this time helped on a number of major projects including the appointment of the current General Manager and Club Professional.

Looking to the future, he is looking to assist the club in facing its many challenges as it looks to maintain its position as the premier club in Dorset.

Following the 2021 AGM, Phil was elected as Chair of the Committee.

Dave Shenton
Finance Officer

In his professional life, Dave was employed by Lloyds Bank for some 38 years. Most of that time was spent as a Relationship Manager in the Business/Commercial Side of Banking.

Since retiring nearly 5 years ago, he has been heavily involved with DCGU, serving as Junior Secretary, overseeing Boys Junior Squads from age 12-18. 

Having been a member for over 22 years and serving as Club Captain in 2018, Dave uses his business and banking experience from Lloyds and his golfing knowledge from working at a county level to ensure the club's finances are run in a professional manner.    

Rob Atherton
Committee Member

Rob has been managing the scratch team at Broadstone for 6 years now and in doing so, has got to know many of the members, especially the younger members, and they have seen how passionate he is about the club doing well and the golf course moving forwards.

In his working life, he has managed large teams on a day to day basis at Sunseeker, working to tight budgets but still delivering a high value product where quality in presentation is paramount, as well as driving down costs to make more profit. 

Returning to golfing matters, playing a lot of golf at different courses locally as well as cross other counties, helps him see where the club sits in relation to them and where Broadstone can improve to give a better experience for travelling golfers, but as importantly the day to day membership.

Mark Dobbs
Committee Member

Mark joined the club in 1998 and in that time he has represented Broadstone numerous times. He was the Clun Captain in 2022 and is now the current Gales Hockley Captain as well as Volunteers Co-ordinator.

He has a background in Policing, Transport Planning and Co-ordination during the London Olympics and then management with Dorset Healthcare NHS.

Mark is keen to continue the great work of the Committee and work with other key staff to imporve the experience of members and visitors at Broadstone.
