EP.216 Walking the Fairways - Industry Award Winners & 100yrs Since MacKenzie

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.

On this segment I detail through the industry award winners from state events in QLD, NSW & VIC with some exciting winners being announced! October 2026 also marks 100 years since Dr. Alister MacKenzie arrived in Melbourne on his famed tour of Australia and Royal Melbourne Golf Club played host this week to a significant celebration.

I also have quite a bit of news coming from New Zealand including the new Gibbston Valley Golf Course open for play, Wanaka Golf Club's new spare green, Waikanae Golf Club is powering through their new 9th hole works, and Glendhu Bay Golf Course is getting ever closer to being finished.

And of course, I'm still finding some new golf holes with massive elevation drops from tee to green. So much, so that we have a contender for the title on this segment.

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