Jock McPherson comes across as a humble kinda bloke. And when you find out that his greenkeeping career began in Tamworth, NSW, it kinda sounds about right too. But when you find out that he is currently Senior Assistant Superintendent at the one and only Congressional Country Club just outside Washington DC in the USA, you really want to know more!
I'm not going to divulge his whole career in this caption needless to say that Jock's story is one you want to hear. Jock's career story includes both golf courses in Tamworth, the extremely private and famed Ellerston golf course, and a career changing melting pot of USA experiences thanks to the Ohio State Program. Jock may come across as somewhat calm and unassuming, but don't let that fool you, he has worked hard to carved out a greenkeeping career that many will find inspirational and even admire!
Join Jock and I as we step through his wonderful career, from country NSW, all the way to the big smoke of Congressional just outside Washington DC, discussing the wide range of different weather conditions and diverse turf surfaces he has experienced in a relatively short time frame. This is one you will enjoy!
You hit 'em clean and we'll keep 'em green!
