PROFESSIONAL Andy Earlam is not the only fresh addition at Saddleworth Golf Club.

For the Mountain Ash course boasts a new secretary in Tracey Travis.

The 52-year-old, from Chadderton, has quickly settled into her surroundings.

From her office which overlooks the first fairway and 18th green, Tracey said: "I'm quite a social person - I like to talk to people so what is better really.

"The office door is always open. The members pop in for a chat, and I've got a great view out my window.

"I'm here to assist anybody - I'm happy to help - I love it, it's brilliant."

Tracey (pictured) has previously worked as a PA and office manager at Vitality Life and Health Insurance and in schools as a secretary.

She also spent seven years living in Brisbane, Australia, before returning to this country in 2009.

"Although I don't play, I know a little bit about golf," added Tracey, who is married with two children.

"My brother-in-law plays and I did a lot of caddying for him years ago.

"I had lessons at Werneth, but I'm one of them that as soon as it gets to October, I don't go out!

"My only concern here is if it snows - how am I going to get down that hill?"
