Honoring Family Legacy at Highland Pacific

On December 20, members of the Plasterer family gathered at Highland Pacific Golf to honour loved ones who are no longer with us—individuals whose vision and dedication were instrumental in creating this beautiful course. Highland Pacific Golf stands as a proud part of an extraordinary family legacy, making it the perfect setting to celebrate three Plasterers who all passed during the holiday season.

Herbert Plasterer

Herbert, who passed away 40 years ago, was the inspiration behind the course. A businessman and sculptor, he purchased this land many years ago with the dream that it would one day become a golf course. His love of family is reflected in his sculptures and in the initials that form the course’s logo. A striking replica of his sculpture “Family” is prominently displayed on the course, pictured here alongside his descendants.

Rose Maria “Romi” Plasterer

Romi, who passed away 10 years ago, was the family’s matriarch. She carried the family business forward and championed new ventures, including the development of this course. Her unwavering support made this dream possible. Romi proudly cut the ribbon at the opening ceremony—a moment that symbolized the role she played in bringing Herb’s dream to life.

Tom Plasterer

Tom, who passed away five years ago, was the eldest son of Herb and Romi. Known for his work ethic and leadership, Tom oversaw the construction of Highland Pacific Golf. His vision, determination, and years of effort brought this course to life, allowing us all to enjoy its beauty today.

This gathering was a heartfelt tribute to these remarkable individuals and a reminder of the enduring family legacy that Highland Pacific Golf represents. We are grateful to uphold and celebrate this heritage.
