This time around as we peruse the news coming from golf courses across Australia and New Zealand I'm joined by Idris Evans, Superintendent of The Western Australian Golf Club in Perth, to discuss the enormous amount of work that the club is currently undertaking on course. Idris informs us on the details of the works and how the course team are part of the construction of the new works. We get a great insight from Idris as the club works towards their centenary year coming in 2028!

I've got some news from Waikanae Golf Club and Muriwai Golf Club in New Zealand as both clubs are continuing to move through their masterplans prepared by Phil Tataurangi. There's also some info from Virginia Golf Club in Brisbane, Mollymook's famed Hilltop course on the NSW South Coast, and Fairbairn Golf Club in the ACT.

And I've got a number of new nominations for the golf hole with the highest drop from tee to green in Australia which I share and work through with you!

The Golfing Greenkeeper podcast is the place to listen if you want to know what's happening on all types of golf course across Australia and New Zealand, not just the big name courses!

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

Paul Mogford came into golf course architecture from a landscape architecture background. It was after reading an article written by the late great Peter Thomson that, as Paul puts it, "lit a flame". And so began his pursuit to work in the golf course architecture industry.

This conversation with Paul explores some of Paul's work as an architect such as Metropolitan and Sanctuary Cove, and there's a brand new project soon to start. We also explore his partnership in business with Neil Crafter where they would ultimately become Crafter + Mogford, and I have an interesting question for Paul to close out our conversation, which is met with an equally interesting answer!

This conversation will keep you entertained and maybe even asking yourself some questions, particularly at the end, so get comfy, put your ears on and join us as we go deep!

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

Glenn Beauclerc is superintendent of Links Hope Island on the Gold Coast. Designed by Australian architecture firm Thomson Wolveridge Perrett opening in 1993, Hope Island is often considered one of the Gold Coast's best golf courses! Glenn shares with us his insight into what goes into making Hope Island such a great golf course, along with how he, his team, and the owner are working hard and planning for significant investment to the property in the near future.

Glenn also shares with us his greenkeeping career journey. A journey that includes working a a number of the Gold Coast's best courses and tournaments including the Ladies Masters at Royal Pines and the men's Australian Open at The Grand Golf Club. We also dive into his infatuation with 328 couch, the only turf type he worked with on greens throughout his extensive career and why he considers it the best. Oh and there's plenty of laughs along the way with a few flashbacks!

Load this one up and get ready for a deep dive where I haven't been before!

James Thomas is Superintendent of Bayview Golf Club on Sydney's Northern Beaches. He's also a local boy, growing up in this area, playing golf, and building a career in greenkeeping from starting at a young age.

Join James and I on this wonderful conversation as we learn exactly how he climbed his way through the ranks in his career to becoming superintendent at Bayview GC and some of the challenges he's had to work through almost from the moment he became the Super.

We also learn a great deal about Bayview Golf Club itself, how the club has invested in their golf course over the years, and a few of the unique challenges that James and his team have to manage to deliver the best quality playing surfaces they can for people to enjoy! This one you're sure to enjoy and learn from at the same time.

I'm joined by Superintendent of Rich River Golf Club, Jarrod Castle. Jarrod jumps on the podcast to let us know about some significant course upgrades that have begun on the property beginning with the East Course, along with plans for their West Course. The club has engaged golf course architects Harrison Golf who will no doubt work to bring the best out of the property and set the club up well for the future.

I also have updates from a number of other regional golf clubs that are doing work to improve their courses including Newcastle, Nelson Bay, Oberon, and Fairbairn. Along with news coming from Tasmania Golf Club and the new Hogan Gully project in Arrowtown, New Zealand.

Oh, and it turns out I'm searching for the highest tee to green golf hole elevation drop in Australia! Help me out if you can.

Neil Crafter is part of a great golfing family from Adelaide in South Australia. His father and uncle were golf professionals in Adelaide, and it was probably going to be a given that Neil and his sister Jane would ultimately become very good golfers as well.

As Neil grew through his playing career he decided that he wasn't going to be quite good enough to earn a living from playing golf and changed his focus to studying architecture. His architecture degree combined with passion for golf, and assisting his father designing golf courses in South Australia meant Neil would soon discover his work passion was golf course architecture.

Join Neil and myself as we discuss his career path into becoming one of Australia's respected golf course architects, some of the golf courses that he has recently worked on, along with his other passions of golf architecture history, Dr Alister MacKenzie, and writing books. You're sure to enjoy this one as much as I do!

On this segment of Aussie Golf History I'm joined by Philip Baird, Director of Golf and historian at Manly Golf Club. Phil and I talk about the lineage of the Ferrier family beginning with the well known Jim Ferrier, past golf professional of Manly Golf Club, and we go backwards from there.

The main reason behind this podcast is some new information that has recently been found in China and shared amongst golf historians of the understanding of how Jim Ferrier from Manly Golf Club is related to John Ferrier, a founding member of Carnoustie Golf Club, and there's a new part of the story of designing the first golf course in China.

This is a short history of sorts but one well worth taking in. I hope you enjoy this short history of the Ferrier family.

Craig Hamilton is Superintendent of Sun City Country Club just north of Perth city in Western Australia. Craig's background is quite extensive, from first working on a golf course in his native home of Northern Ireland, to travelling and completing his greenkeeping apprenticeship in New Zealand, all the way to becoming Superintendent in Western Australia.

Yes, Craig has experienced and seen a number of different climates to maintain golf courses in, and he also shares with us a few very unique stories of things that we just don't quite get here in Australia!

Join Craig and I as we learn about his greenkeeping career of many experiences and also get a great insight into Sun City Country Club and some of its unique features and challenges that make Sun City a golf course you should visit next time you're in Perth.

I'm joined on this episode by Superintendent of East Geelong Golf Club, Stewart Drayton. Stewart gives us an insight into this 9 hole golf course along with an update of some of the course improvements that they are completing. Geelong is the gateway to the Bellarine Peninsula golf region, a number of golf course which Stewart has spent time working at during his career.

I've also take some time to give you a wrap up of the inaugural VGCSA/NSWGCSA combined country turf conference and just what I experienced at Yarrawonga Mulwala Golf Resort.

The Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia schedule has been released for the season ahead which I go through, and there's I've got info coming out of QLD and WA, including the some changes to the future of Kwinana Golf Club south of Perth.
