Our Bloke -Ben Gear

February 14, 2019 by Maggi Barnard

How long have you lived in Forbes and what do you like about living here? I haven’t been living in Forbes for very long. Having grown up in the city, the lack of traffic here is awesome.

Where do you work and what do you enjoy about your work? I’m the Head Professional at the golf club, and easily the best part of my job is helping people to improve or learn the game of golf.

What do you do to unwind after work or on weekends? I unwind by reading soccer reports, fishing or having a hit of golf.

What are you really good at? I’m really good at housework…

If you could have a super power, what would it be? The power of flight.

What is your pet hate? Politics is my biggest pet hate.

Tell us about your best holiday ever. Trekking in the Himalayas, although I got sick with the altitude. Seeing Mount Everest and the village people in Nepal was unreal.
