EP.135 Steve's Random Special Guest - Mike O'Keeffe (Ohio State Program)


Listen Later

This is a belter of a podcast yarn! If ever there was one you want to listen to, this is it. It's worldly, it's diverse, it's interesting, it's education, and most of all it's fun along the way.


Mike O'Keeffe heads up the sports turf arm of the Ohio State Program in the USA. The program itself is tailored for young people who are looking to gain significant experience in golf greenkeeping at some of the most iconic golf courses of the USA preparing for some of the biggest golf tournaments in the world.


I wanted to chat with Mike to understand more about the Ohio State Program in detail, how big the program is, why it works so well for us Aussie's and New Zealanders, and why Mike is so passionate about the program and pours so much of his heart and soul into the people that participate!


Join us for a hell of a ride and some amazing insight into a program and someone (Mike) that probably single handedly has changed the lives of so many people in the greenkeeping industry and made them into some of the best greenkeepers and professionals of the industry!
