Debbie also brings extensive experience in governance and education, having spent 25 years training local school governors across Salisbury and Wiltshire, and supporting governing bodies through challenging circumstances.<\/p>\n<h3>WHAT DEBBIE SAID<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cIt is an absolute honour and a true privilege to be elected as Club Captain of High Post Golf Club for 2025.

To now serve not only as Ladies Captain but also as the first elected female Club Captain in the club\u2019s history is truly humbling.<\/p>\n<p>This moment reflects what High Post stands for \u2014 inclusion, opportunity, and a willingness to evolve while still honouring the foundations on which our club was built.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>High Post Golf Club has announced, Debbie Rock as Club Captain for 2025\u2014the first woman in the club\u2019s 103-year history.
