The Design Brief segment of The Golfing Greenkeeper Podcast is proudly brought to you by McMahons. Check out their website to get a better understanding of their suite of services and outstanding portfolio of work at www.mcmahons.net.au

Scott Champion might not quite be a household name just yet, but I'm certain you have heard of some of the work he has been involved with.

An early part of Scott's golf course architecture career involved a start at Greg Norman Golf Course Design working with a couple of architects such as Bob Harrison and Harley Kruse. Fast forward a few years and Bob Harrison decided to start his own design firm and he asked Scott to join him in the business. Yes, Scott has been part of Harrison Golf since it's inception!

Scott tells us about his early years getting into the industry after which we get stuck into one of Harrison Golf's more famous designs - Ardfin in Scotland. There's a great story here before we stop next to focus on a current Harrison Golf project in detail, being the redesign of the well known Newcastle Golf Club to the north of Sydney.

As always there's a few rabbit holes and Scott shares his insights and thoughts of golf course architecture, so join us for a wonderful chat on the new and improved version of The Design Brief brought to you by McMahons.

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