Gavin, son of long-standing club professional Len Beck grew up on the fairways of Redland Bay Golf Club. He was a Junior member of the club until the age of 17 when he moved away to travel the world. Having lived in the Whitsunday, Channel Islands, Scotland and Canada, Gavin returned home and applied for a PGA Traineeship under the watchful eye of his Father Len. Gavin won an event on the Qld Sunshine Tour as a trainee yet upon completion of his traineeship didn’t chase the dream of making it on tour, instead taking a job offer as a Golf Operations Manager in Fiji. Returning to Australia Gavin played events on the Qld Sunshine tour and Australian Tour before returning to Redland Bay to work with his father Len and brother Shannon. In 2019 Gavin accepted the role as Golf Operations Manager at the Club. Other interest includes Family, Surfing and Snowboarding.

Favourite Hole at RBGC: 14th “It’s the hole that visitors remember at Redland Bay and that’s what makes it my favourite.” Gavin believes that it is one the best par 5’s in Queensland, especially if you have to play it with northly winds and with a king tide.

Golfing Highlight: Travelling to watch The Open in 2000 at St Andrews with my brother and parents. As well as watching a good friend win the 2016 UBS Hong Kong Open and securing a life changing European Tour Card.
