There's lots of details in this one and lots of general conversation, discussion, questions, and personal insights from both of us.If you really want to go full turf nerd, join Craig and I out on course as this episode might just hit all the right notes and maybe even have you asking more questions afterwards.

He has had a long fruitful career in greenkeeping to get to where he is today which includes a number of years working in Asia.From first mowing a green at the age of 10, Dion was exposed to the trade of greenkeeping through his father. Growing up around greenkeeping didn't mean it would be Dion's chosen field, turns out he had a second significant vocation, rugby league! Dion received a contract through the Cronulla Sharks rugby league team in his early years, and through that, he was also able to work as a greenkeeper at the local Cronulla Golf Club. Dion eventually left the greenkeeping industry to pursue a career in rugby league for a while before a return to the industry at Ashgrove Golf Club in Brisbane. It was from here, and on the eve of being married, that Dion would get an opportunity to manage the large 54 hole golf facility of Tanjong Puteri Golf Resort in Malaysia. A number of years, a couple of clubs, and two children later, Dion and his family were to move back to Australia. Dion went through a few different work places in Australia before arriving and leading the team as Superintendent at Redland Bay Golf Club. He and the course team have been working through a greens replacement program to TifEagle putting surfaces as the club continues to improve the quality of their golf offering.Join Dion and myself for this sizable yarn into the depths of Redland Bay Golf Club, his greenkeeping career, the ups and downs of life, his structured and methodical approach to golf course management, and just listening to a great person from two fantastic industries greenkeeping and football!You hit 'em clean and we'll keep 'em green!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper - Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper - Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper TV - YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Send me an email to - [email protected] and places mentioned in this podcast:Redland Bay Golf ClubCraigieburn - Wilmott Golf ClubOcean Shores Country ClubMeadowbrook Golf ClubRiverlakes Golf ClubCronulla SharksAndrew Ettingshausen (ET) - WikiCronulla Golf ClubRoyal Pines ResortAshgrove Golf ClubTunjong Puteri Golf ResortISO 9001Glenmarie Golf & Country ClubEP.44 Keeper of the Greens - Mick PascoeMt Warren Park Golf Club

A native of Busselton in WA, Kasey wasn't sure just what she wanted to do when she finished school. She came across a local ad for an apprentice greenkeeper and knew that she enjoyed being outside and was already working casually at the local hockey club. She took the plunge into a career that both she and her school friends knew nothing about. And she was hooked.Learning her craft under Superintendent Lance Knox, Kasey's passion grew and grew. She was soon on a plane to the east coast of Australia to be part of the Women in Turf Program supported by John Deere Golf at Cobram Barooga Golf Club in NSW. Following that she took the next step in applying to be a volunteer at the 2023 Australian Open in Melbourne. To her surprise she was accepted by Kingston Heath Golf Club and was again on a plane, but this time to Melbourne for the biggest tournament in Australia!Having completed her apprenticeship at Busselton Golf Club, Kasey is now a fully qualified greenkeeper and has recently accepted a role and made the move to Harvey Golf Club, also in Western Australia.Join Kasey and I as we chat about her career, her passion for turf and golf, where she wants to go in her career, and a whole lot more (including tea) from the south western corner of WA.You hit 'em clean and we'll keep 'em green!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper - Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper - Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper TV - YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Send me an email to - [email protected] and places mentioned in this podcast:Harvey Golf ClubBusselton Golf ClubDilmah Tea - WikiEP.65 Keeper of the Greens - Lance KnoxBoolbardie Country Club Golf CourseSecret Harbour Golf LinksCobram Barooga Golf ClubWomen in Turf ProgramWembley Golf CourseKingston Heath Golf ClubASTMAGCSAWA

It was during his greenkeeping apprenticeship that Craig would learn from his early mentor and Superintendent at the time, Peter Watts, how to think more about keeping the greens rather than just going about it as you've been shown.Craig enjoyed study and found, along with working under some of Sydney's most revered superintendents, that further study could really elevate his knowledge of greenkeeping even more so.Throughout his career path Craig moved through a number of Sydney's best golf clubs such as Elanora, Pennant Hills, Royal Sydney, and Bonnie Doon which included one men's Australian Open and three TPS tournaments. This increasingly exciting and challenging workload would set Craig up to finally want his own superintendent's role where he would accept the position in the NSW country town of Orange at the unique Duntryleague Golf Club.Join me for a very in depth Steve's Super 7, lots of deep rabbit holes, an amazing career journey, a great regional golf course, some very interesting grass varieties, and one big technical breakdown, as Craig and I chew the fat about his time in greenkeeping so far, and the way he goes about building a great working environment and delivering the best turf surfaces and golf course he can with his team at Duntryleague!You hit 'em clean and we'll keep 'em green!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper - Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper - Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper TV - YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Send me an email to - [email protected] and places mentioned in this podcast:Duntryleague Golf ClubMuirfield Golf Club (Sydney)Terrey Hills Golf and Country ClubPeter Watts - 2017 Claude Crockford Award recipientElanora Country ClubPennant Hills Golf ClubRoyal Sydney Golf ClubBonnie Doon Golf ClubEric Apperley - Top 100 Golf CoursesEP.50 The Design Brief - Ted Stirling

From growing up in Melbourne and beginning his working career as an armature apprentice, which didn't take his fancy, to starting his greenkeeping career proper at Melbourne's Northern Golf Club in..........well, Melbourne's north!It wasn't long before Keegan had his sights set overseas which brought his attention to the Ohio State Program which many young Australians and New Zealanders have taken part in. Working at a couple of the USA's most exclusive private clubs saw Keegan gain much experience, along with a close encounter with Michael Jordan! From here Keegan travelled further to the UK working at the one and only Sunningdale Golf Club then a stint in Dubai, before heading back to Australia to see where he would work next.It wasn't too long before Keegan landed the job as Assistant Superintendent at The Sand Torquay where in time he would eventually take on the role as Superintendent.Join me for a new 12 month term of Keeper of the Greens in partnership with John Deere Golf, including a revamped Steve's Super Seven questions, as we head to the beginning of Victoria's Great Ocean Road for some fun stories and an interesting insight into another great golf course!You hit 'em clean and we'll keep 'em green!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper - Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper - Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper TV - YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Send me an email to - [email protected] and places mentioned in this podcast:The Sands TorquayThe Great Ocean Road - WikiGoonawarra Golf ClubNorthern Golf ClubOhio State ProgramEP.135 Steve's Random Special Guest - Mike O'KeeffePlainfield Country ClubIsleworth Golf ClubSunningdale Golf ClubAl Badia Golf ClubRiversdale Golf ClubVictorian Golf Course Superintendents Association (VGCSA)Breamlea Flora and Fauna Reserve
