Walking the Fairways segment of The Golfing Greenkeeper Podcast is proudly brought to you by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (campbellchemicals.com.au) ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dint Golf Solutions⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (dint.com.au) and you can check out their website www.dint.com.au.

This segment I have 2 guests joining in on the pod. Fraser Brown, Superintendent of Lake Karrinyup Country Club in Perth, jumps on to give us an update of what they have been up to with an irrigation system being installed. I also make a phone call to Nathan Baker, winner of this year's ASTMA Graduate of the Year Award from the national turf conference in Melbourne.

Along with a chat with these guests I have a full wrap up of the award winners of the ASTMA conference, there's plenty happening in Perth with Royal Perth GC getting stuck into their final stage of their redesign of their golf course, Mandurah Country Club is also installing new irrigation. Moore Park GC in Sydney has been officially cut in half and Gailes GC in Brisbane is doing some bunker improvements on course. There's always plenty of info to stay up to date with and there's plenty of laughs in this one too!

p.s. Make sure you listen past the end for some bloopers!

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