EP.112 Walking the Fairways - In the Wake of Cyclone Alfred

Walking the Fairways segment of The Golfing Greenkeeper Podcast is proudly brought to you by Colin Campbell Chemicals⁠⁠ (campbellchemicals.com.au) www.campbellchemicals.com.au and Dint Golf Solutions⁠ (dint.com.au) www.dint.com.au

This episode of Walking the Fairways sees me chatting with Greens Director of Ashgrove Golf Club, Simon Putral in Brisbane, and Superintendent of Lakelands Golf Club, Richard Flesser, on the Gold Coast, to gain an insight into just what they experienced from Tropical Cyclone Alfred. We chat about damage done on their respective golf courses and I also discover how quickly they are able to recover!

Also included is my 1st time experience of a game at Moore Park Golf Course just a few days ago. I was joined by lead spokesperson of the Save Moore Park Golf Course campaign, Jared Kendler, for a short round of the back 8 holes, which is the location of the where the NSW State Government are planning to repurpose the public golf course to make way for a public park. What I experienced was nothing short of amazing!

I'm also joined on this episode by Nigel Taylor for an update of his Everesting Challenge that he is embarking on to raise awareness of mental health.

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