When passionate golfer Jeff Blaszkowski arrived in Australia twelve years ago he was overwhelmed by the number of quality golf courses there were on the Gold Coast.
A new direction was on the cards so he decided to turn his passion into a career and after 12 years working in numerous roles in golf resorts around the country, Jeff has joined the team at InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort in the role of Business Development Manager - Golf, Sporting and Leisure.
Jeff is excited about his role working for Australia's first InterContinental Resort and is delighted to be promoting the whole Sanctuary Cove experience.
"The whole package here at Sanctuary Cove is fantastic. There's our luxurious resort, The Marine Village and The Palms & The Pines Golf Courses that consistently rate in the top 100 golf courses. We've definitely got something unique and spectacular to offer.
"The service from the moment guests arrive at InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort is also second to none which again is a big positive and helps us create a truly special experience for all golfers," Jeff said.
InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort's Director of Sales & Marketing Jayme Cuttriss is pleased to have a business golf specialist on board.
"In a resort such as this where golf is a major highlight, we need to have someone on board who lives and breathes golf.
"Jeff's experience and passion for golf coupled with his sales experience in golf resorts around the country, makes him the perfect person for this role," said Jayme.
Jeff will be working with golf tour operators and PCOs from all over the country to develop and promote golf based packages that will complement any meeting or event.
