Episode Fifty One - Gil Hanse & Josh McFadden on Royal Sydney GC

A thrill to speak with Josh McFadden and Gil Hanse of Hanse Golf Design. Both are visiting our country to complete renovation of the course at Royal Sydney Golf Club.  This exciting development is entering the home stretch, after years of planning and work.  Gil’s work is world-renowned, and we hope this commission in Sydney is the first of more projects for he and his team in times to come.  Gil and Josh speak about their work at Rose Bay, how they see the project shaping up, and more broadly, their impressions of Australian golf.  A great insight from two erudite minds.

For those who may have missed it – episode #28 of the podcast featured Melbourne-born Hanse Design associate Ben Hillard – he spoke about his time in golf construction and touched on the Royal Sydney project.
