Keeper Of The Greens segment of The Golfing Greenkeeper Podcast is brought to you by John Deere Golf. When you work where others play, you need a partner you can trust to keep your course in perfect condition. Find your nearest⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠J⁠ohn Deere dealer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠deere.com.au⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 

The Women in Turf Program is supported by John Deere in collaboration with Envu and the Australian Sports Turf Managers Association (ASTMA). A key part of the program sees a group of selected volunteer female greenkeepers from right across Australia assist the course maintenance team of Cobram Barooga Golf Club preparing their golf course for the Webex Players Series Murray River tournament.

Working with John Deere, I was given the opportunity to chat with each of the volunteers to get an insight into their greenkeeping careers understanding just what they enjoy about their chosen career, what it's like working and preparing a golf course for a tournament for the first time and what they are getting out of being part of this fantastic industry supported program. I also speak with Cobram Barooga Golf Club Superintendent Terry Vogel and CEO Bobby Brooks about what it means to have this program involved at their club.

Join me as we hear the enthusiasm from an energetic group of young female greenkeepers as they experience something new in a part of the country that they've not experienced before.

You hit 'em clean and we'll keep 'em green!
