Home town of Newcastle Australia; Shannon grew up playing Rugby League representing the hunter region, Newcastle rep side and Lakes United President Cup in his junior years.

At the age of 20, Shannon moved into Rallying with current Australian Ford works driver Michael Guest. Throughout the years of competing at the top level Shannon has worked for Team Mitsubishi Ralli/Art Australia, building production cars for overseas customers.

Shannon competed in the Round Australia Trial in 1995 as a mechanic; a rally which covered 18500km’s in 20 days in which the team finished 2nd to the Holden factory team after leading the event for 8 days before some minor setbacks slowed their progress. The Holden team consisted of Peter Brock, Ed Ordinsky and Ross Dunkerton. This was his start to bigger and better things moving into circuit racing in production cars and also competing in the Bathurst 500 and 3 Bathurst 1000 races in V8 supercars, with The Race Centre team owned by Rod Salmon.

As all good things come to an end, Shannon now resides back in Newcastle building a business with a long term goal, (EMG GOLF) whilst still keeping a keen interest in Motorsport.

Building Electric Golf Buggies was never on the agenda but is now a big part of his life. Now in business for over 4 years Shannon has watched EMG grow at a consistent rate; probably not as fast as he would like. With so many other manufacturers producing Electric Golf Buggies, EMG are always developing their products to keep up with the bigger Australian companies.

Shannon’s comments:
Building an Electric Golf Buggy to be reliable, sturdy and unique really wasn’t that hard. We started out building buggies for another manufacturer which now is retired from production. This gave myself and Anthony the bug to pursue even further the possibilities to build a buggy that would one day be a market leader.

Rick MacLean has been unbelievable towards EMG obviously with his whole life involved with golf and being a retailer of all the brands of electric golf buggies and golfing accessories. Rick has added the golfing personal touch, so that golfers could relate to our product as a electric golf buggy not a race car.
