Terry Vogel is a man from the country through and through. What you're going to get from his story is a deep insight into the life of a regional Superintendent who details the highs and lows of his greenkeeping career and he includes all the thoughts that come with. Being a Superintendent isn't always easy and Terry shares his story that I'm sure is like so many others of the industry be it still in or now out.

A family man, Terry shares a great deal into what it has taken him to get to this point in his long and experienced greenkeeping career which includes his wife and children always close by on this bumpy ride. Unlike many greenkeepers Terry has played golf at a very high level having played and captained the Victorian State amateur team so he understands what is involved to be very good at the sport. Now, his daughter has gone one step further than he did and is a professional golfer that plays on the national women's tour!

Get comfy and join us as we embark on a unique journey like no one before on this podcast.

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