I run through just where that has been, along with being joined on the podcast by Superintendent of Settlers Run, Brenton Clarke. We chat about all the new work the course team have been working through to improve the quality of the golf course and what their future improvements are looking like.There's also news coming from QLD and NT where are thoughts are with everyone being affected by the heavy rainfall and severe floods across a wide part of the north of Australia. Improvements also on courses such as Lang Lang GC in regional Victoria, Avondale GC in Sydney, Mollymook's Hilltop course down the NSW South Coast, and approval of the new Palm Valley Gold Coast.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:Dint Golf Solutions - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Envu - ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠Envu Specticle PromotionSettlers Run Golf & Country ClubPennant Hills Golf ClubElanora Country ClubPymble Golf ClubHawkes Nest Golf ClubGreg Norman Golf Course DesignHarley KruseWollongong Golf ClubMagenta Shores Golf & Country ClubParaparaumu Beach Golf ClubMillbrook ResortRoyal Auckland & Grange Golf ClubKooyonga Golf ClubCobram Barooga Golf ClubWomen in Turf Mentorship ProgramHeritage Golf & Country ClubFestival of GolfAustralian WPGA ChampionshipSanctuary Cove Golf & Country ClubCrafter MogfordBundaberg Golf ClubProserpine Golf ClubRoyal Queensland Golf ClubOCM Golf DesignPalm Valley Gold CoastBrisbane Golf ClubCaloundra Golf ClubHumpty Doo Golf ClubKatherine Country ClubLang Lang Golf ClubCorowa Golf ClubMarcus Fraser fund raising for Corowa GC - Yarrawonga ChronicleMerewether Golf ClubMollymook Golf Club - Hilltop CourseRyan Van Der VeenAvondale Golf ClubRoyal Canberra Golf ClubTPC SawgrassEP173 Keeper of the Greens - Tom AldridgeEP122 Keeper of the Greens - James NewellEP90 Keeper of the Greens - Jimmy DownesEP121 The Design Brief - Ryan Van Der VeenEP164 Aussie Golf History - Avondale Golf Club P1EP165 Aussie Golf History - Avondale Golf Club P2EP111 Keeper of the Greens - Josh SmithEP92 Keeper of the Greens - Ryan Stores

My chat with Tom is soon after he and his team prepared the course for the NZ PGA and what a wonderful example of a tournament golf course it was.Tom comes from humble beginnings growing up in the Lower Hutt region of Wellington. It was here that he decided greenkeeping was what he wanted to do and left school early, to the surprise of his school mates, to begin his career. Learning his early craft at a parkland course, it was upon completion of his apprenticeship that soon would see him take the opportunity to begin his employment as a qualified greenkeeper at Paraparaumu Beach Golf Club to the north of Wellington working under and being mentored by one of the best superintendents in this part of the world!I'm not gong to give anymore away of this awesome chat with Tom other than to say his meteoric rise to becoming superintendent of a highly regarded golf club in New Zealand is far from by chance or accident, so dive in with us as we go through Tom's career and learn some insight about Paraparaumu Beach GC along the way.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]⁠⁠⁠People and places mentioned in this podcast:Paraparaumu Beach Golf ClubWaitara Golf ClubShandon Golf ClubLeo Barber - InstagramNZ PGA ChampionshipNZ OpenAlex Russell - WikiDiscovering Alex Russell - BookEP156 Keeper of the Greens - John Spraggs

Richard gives us a brief outline of what makes up Kooyonga GC and just how the course is shaping up for the national tournament and it's great to get an insight into yet another one of Australia's premier tournament golf courses.Of course I do the usual run around Australia and New Zealand with a run through of a month on epic women's tournaments in Australia, some pretty interesting news coning out of public golf still under intense pressure in Sydney, the closing down of the 118yr old Corowa Golf Club on the Murray River, the opening of Huntingdale's new full course design, the opening of phase 2 of the KruseGolf and CDP design works at Royal Perth GC, along with a whole lot more.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:Envu - ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠Dint Golf Solutions - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠Kooyonga Golf ClubWollongong Golf ClubMagenta Shores Golf & Country ClubBonville Golf ResortCoffs Harbour Golf ClubSanctuary Cove Golf & Country ClubFestival of Golf - WPGA ChampionshipCammeray Golf ClubNorth Sydney Living article of NSW Government supporting Cammeray Golf ClubMoore Park Golf CourseCarnarvon Golf ClubABC News - Plan to convert Carnarvon GC into cemeteryCorowa Golf ClubBega Country ClubStrathallen Golf ClubAlbert Park Golf CourseSettlers Run Golf & Country ClubHuntingdale Golf ClubOCM DesignCranbourne Golf ClubPeninsula Kingswood Country Golf ClubKeperra Golf ClubCrafter Mogford Golf StrategiesBusselton Golf ClubEP65 Keeper of the Greens - Lance KnoxThe Vines ResortRoyal Perth Golf ClubKruseGolfClayton DeVries Pont (CDP)Paraparaumu Beach Golf ClubRoyal Wellington Golf ClubEP.155 Keeper of the Greens - John Spraggs

This is a big golf facility of 27 holes that is soon to begin some changes to the site by golf course architects KruseGolf and Clayton DeVries Pont (CDP) working together as part of the clubs forward vision.Darcy was introduced to golf where he grew up as a young kid in south western NSW and upon his family moving to the NSW South Coast, he soon became more interested in the game and where he became an apprentice greenkeeper working with his twin brother.Upon completing his apprenticeship Darcy was soon looking for something more and he would find his way to Wimbledon in London, England! After working for a time in the UK, Darcy headed back to Australia and landed a role at Royal Melbourne Golf Club.I won't share anymore other than to say that Darcy has experienced a great deal in his career all the way to becoming Superintendent at Catalina Club, and I'm sure you'll enjoy his story along with learning a few things about Catalina Club and it's very bright future ahead. It's time to kick back and enjoy this chat and maybe even plan your next golf trip to the south coast of NSW.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]⁠⁠People and places mentioned in this podcast:Catalina ClubKruseGolfClayton DeVries Pont (CDP)CluBarham GolfNarooma Golf ClubBermagui Country ClubAll England Lawn Tennis & Croquet ClubRoyal Wimbledon Golf ClubTura Beach Country ClubRoyal Canberra Golf ClubRoyal Melbourne Golf ClubSandy Golf LinksVictoria Golf ClubOCM Golf DesignThe Dunes Golf LinksSt. Andrews Beach Golf Course13th Beach Golf LinksLonsdale LinksNSW Golf ClubRoyal Sydney Golf ClubKillara Golf ClubEP.95 Keeper of the Greens - Richard ForsythEP.70 Keeper of the Greens - Pat WilsonEP.111 Keeper of the Greens - Josh SmithEP.159 Keeper of the Greens - Adam MarchantEP.135 Steve's Random Special Guest - Mike O'Keeffe

Tom is a young Super in most people's eyes, but it's his strive for excellence where he stands out from the rest.Growing up in a the regional township of Broadmarsh, just to the north of Hobart, Tom was a keen young golfer playing on the family farms or the local 9 hole golf course at Elderslie Golf Club.Whilst greenkeeping wasn't exactly what was always looking to do as a career, he left school when he successfully applied for a greenkeeping apprenticeship at Royal Hobart. Working through his apprenticeship to become qualified, Tom quickly made the next step in his career at the neighbouring Llanherne Golf Club as Superintendent. Here Tom would carve out his own brand of greenkeeping where he worked hard for a number of years lifting the profile of Llanherne and also his own career.When the Superintendents role at Royal Hobart was vacated, Tom was quick to throw his hat on the ring at the age of 25, and the rest as they say is history!Join me as Tom walks us through his fast tracked greenkeeping career that goes full circle very quickly from the bottom to the top at Royal Hobart Golf Club as we also hear about how Royal Hobart are improving their course and facilities in a modern world where many more golfing eyes are looking at Hobart as a golf destination!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]⁠People and places mentioned in this podcast:Royal Hobart Golf ClubElderslie Golf ClubLlanherne Golf Club7 Mile Beach Golf CourseArm End Golf CourseTasmania Golf ClubNorth West Bay Golf ClubKingston Beach Golf ClubRatho FarmEP.134 Keeper of the Greens - Brad PalmerEP.59 Keeper of the Greens - Shaun Bowden
