Walking the Fairways takes a trip to the tropical north of Australia as we visit the Top End of Northern Territory with our, now officially titled Northern Territory correspondent, Jimmy Downes, Superintendent of Humpty Doo Golf Club.

Jimmy gives us a full update of works that he and his team have been completing recently on course since we last spoke with him, as the course prepares for their first Golf Australia event in 15 years! Jimmy also gives us a full wrap up of what's going on around other NT courses including Darwin GC, The Gardens, Katherine, and Jabiru. It's been a rather tough wet season to say the least!

The biggest news coming out these past couple of weeks has been Peninsula Kingswood Country Golf Club being announced as host of the 2027 men's Australian Open. I give you a full run down of what we know and what we're still yet to learn about this magnificent golf facility. There's also more news coming from Tasmania GC and Fairbairn GC in ACT is looking for help to keep their golf course land being taken away. I also took some time to visit the very impressive Lang Lang GC located outside Melbourne city, which really surprised me!

Hope you enjoy this one in an effort to keep you up to date and also let you know about the ASTMA national turf conference in Melbourne and also the upcoming joint VGCSA & NSWGCSA Country Conference in August.

You hit 'em clean and we'll keep 'em green!
