Lang has travelled extensively taking members and guests on golf tours of Thailand and China.
His passion for golf started during school and was confirmed when as a young man travelling through Europe he found the home of Golf; The Old Course, St Andrews, Scotland. Lang decided to stay and was lucky enough to live in St Andrews for a year. At this time, already an accomplished golfer, he realised whilst playing the Old course every day that professional golf was going to be his passion and career. His favourite course is still the Old Course and his best professional round was 9 under 61 at Wynnum Golf Club in Brisbane.
Lang is very excited about being part of the coaching team at Emerald Lakes Coaching Centre.
