John graduated through the Australian PGA Academy of Golf at the end of 2004. John Jnr is the third generation PGA Member of the famous Victorsen family, son to John Snr who is the Head Professional at Headland Golf Club on Queensland's Sunshine Coast and grandson to the late Arnold Victorsen.
John's passion for the game of golf, teaching and the traditions of this great sport is second to none.
There are only a few that are capable of driving the ball further than John, (particularly with his Taylor Made Burner TP Driver), an element of the game that is so important to him that he has been quoted as saying "If they took driving out of the game I wouldn't play".
John learnt his trade on the Sunshine Coast at Headland Golf Club, were he worked for 5 years. He then moved to the metro area and worked at Royal Queensland for two and a half years. The experience that was gained, working with Chris Rutherford and his team has proved invaluable. John was the head teaching professional of the Royal Queensland Junior Development Squad which included more than 100 junior players from 5 to 16 years of age. John has now joined the Pacific On Course Golf Shop team which includes his Uncle, Mark Victorsen, and father-in-law to be, Paul Hazlett. "Its great to be back at a busy club" John says, "there is always plenty of action at Pacific".
