\n Basingstoke Golf Club relocated to Dummer in 2021 and has since undergone a \u00a320m redevelopment.\n<\/p>\n
\n This includes a new 18-hole championship downland course designed by Weller Designs, a modern clubhouse and ongoing investment in practice facilities.\n<\/p>\n
\n David Green, general manager of Basingstoke Golf Club, said: “We\u2019re delighted to welcome Jake to Basingstoke.\n<\/p>\n
\n “His achievements at Edgbaston speak for themselves, but it was his drive, technical expertise and clear passion for agronomy that really stood out and made him the outstanding candidate.\n<\/p>\n
\n “This is an important appointment for the club as we continue our work transforming the course and facilities, and Jake is the right person to lead that work.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We look forward to supporting him as he settles in and begins shaping the next stage of our development.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Basingstoke Golf Club has appointed Jake Field to the role as it prepares to open a redesigned course…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":305209,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-305208","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-golf","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305208","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=305208"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305208\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/305209"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=305208"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=305208"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=305208"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
