Episode Notes
Hello and welcome back! It was a pleasure to sit down in person with Brendan Allen who is currently Head of Construction at Douglas Links, which is a new golf course being built about 15 minutes north Otaki on the Kapiti Coast. Douglas Links has had several road blocks but is now fully into the construction phase and sits on a sensational site. It is the brainchild of XERO co-founder Hamish Edwards and has been routed by course architect Darius Oliver. Brendan talks about the origins of the project, and his career up to this point which has included roles at The Hills GC and Royal Auckland (now Royal Auckland and The Grange. Enjoy!
