Steve Smith is the voice behind The Golfing Greenkeeper Podcast and a lifelong turf professional whose journey began in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales.

Growing up literally alongside a golf course, Steve developed an early connection to the game and the land that supports it. As a teenager, he began working casually at Wentworth Falls Country Club, where his passion for sports turf quickly turned into a career path. While still at school, he transitioned into an apprenticeship in Sports Turf Management, gaining hands-on experience while completing his qualifications.

After becoming a qualified turf professional, Steve continued working at Wentworth Falls before taking on the role of Superintendent at Katoomba Golf Club. Over more than a decade in the position, he played a key role in maintaining and developing the course until its eventual closure.

Facing a crossroads in his career, Steve decided to take a leap and start his own professional lawn care business. Through that journey and his deep connections within the industry, he eventually launched The Golfing Greenkeeper Podcast — a platform dedicated to sharing stories, insights, and knowledge from professionals across the turf and golf industries.

Since launching the show, Steve has connected with leading voices in turf management around Australia and beyond, helping shine a spotlight on the people who keep the game playable.

Today, with sponsorship from John Deere Golf AUS/NZ and a growing audience, Steve continues to build a strong presence in the sports turf community — proving that his career in turf is far from finished and only getting bigger.

Gone, But Not Forgotten #8 - Paul Walker

Dylan Boys grew up in Devenport, Tasmania, alongside his twin sister, in a place where creativity quietly shaped his path early on. While he enjoyed school, it was always his creative side that pulled him stronger—especially once he discovered music. The moment he picked up a guitar, something clicked. Performing wasn’t just a hobby, it became an obsession, and before long, Dylan was chasing every opportunity to be on stage.
In his teenage years, he formed a band and began playing local gigs around Davenport, building his confidence and finding his sound in front of real crowds. Those early shows weren’t just practice—they were proof. Proof that music wasn’t just something he loved, but something he could build a life around. That belief only grew stronger as opportunities began to open up, including the chance to support established Australian artist Reece Mastin—an experience that pushed Dylan to see just how far he could take things.
From there, he began writing his own music, stepping into his identity not just as a performer, but as a storyteller. His songs reflect both his journey and his ambition, shaped by the small-town beginnings that gave him his drive and perspective.
Still young but already building an impressive foundation, Dylan Boys is only getting started. With big goals ahead and a clear vision for where he wants to go, his story is one of passion, persistence, and the belief that something bigger is always waiting—if you’re willing to chase it.

This week on The Roads We’ve Walked, Ty pulls up a chair with Sam Herbert, the legend behind Pig & Rooster BBQ — where the meat is slow, the smoke is steady, and the passion runs hot.

Sam dives into how a simple love of barbecue grew legs and turned into a full-blown movement. He talks about where it all began, the risks that came with backing himself, and the grind behind building something people line up for. It’s not just about brisket and rubs either — it’s about community, bringing people together, and creating moments around food.

Ty gets him talking about the wins, the setbacks, and the kind of determination it takes to keep the fire burning when things get tough. There’s plenty of laughs, a bit of real talk, and more than a few moments that’ll make you hungry.

If you’ve ever chased a dream, backed your craft, or bonded with mates over a feed, this one’s going to hit home.

Pull up, tuck in, and enjoy the ride.
