I am really looking forward to my AKVG Captaincy year in 2026.
I was born near Rome-Italy in 1953.
I have a Doctorate Degree in Economy and Business at the University “La Sapienza” of Rome.
I have had 40 years of professional career in a few International Corporations covering Financial & Administration Roles and in General Management.
I met my wife Sheron in Italy during a skiing vacation in the Italian Alps in 1980, we married in Italy in 1981 and we moved to Hampshire in 1992 where the European Headquarters of my employer was located. We moved to Kent when I retired in 2018.
Sheron and I have three sons and four grandchildren.
Despite our family language is English and that I spent the last 34 years in England my Italian accent is still very strong.
I like competitive golf and the social aspect of it and I am very pleased to be a member of AKVG which is a great combination of the two.
My two major objectives for my year of captaincy are:
-
Facilitating the inclusion of the Ladies in our Association.
-
Trying to reduce the “slow play” in our competitions.
I am looking forward to our 2026 events; our Fixtures list for the year includes eight of the most exciting Golf Courses in Kent, plus two more where we will play our traditional match against the Team from Devon. This match will be played at home on the 1st and 2nd of July respectively at the Weald of Kent and at Westerham GCs.
Anyone who is interested to play can send me am email at carlo.nuvoletta@sky.com
My chosen charity is The Children Trust - a National Leading Charity for Children with brain illnesses & injuries. I will present my Charity at my Captains Day event which will be the first competition of 2026 and it will be played in late April at my club - i.e. Canterbury GC.
Patrick Ferguson will be a great Vice Captain in 2026 and I look forward to be working with him and I am very sure you will give us both plenty of support.
Many thanks to Nigel Tubman for the fantastic contribution in his year of Captaincy in 2025 and many thanks to the members of the AKVG’s Committee and Management for their great support.
Carlo Nuvoletta
