EP.204 Aussie Golf History - The Ferrier Family: From Carnoustie to Manly via China

On this segment of Aussie Golf History I'm joined by Philip Baird, Director of Golf and historian at Manly Golf Club. Phil and I talk about the lineage of the Ferrier family beginning with the well known Jim Ferrier, past golf professional of Manly Golf Club, and we go backwards from there.

The main reason behind this podcast is some new information that has recently been found in China and shared amongst golf historians of the understanding of how Jim Ferrier from Manly Golf Club is related to John Ferrier, a founding member of Carnoustie Golf Club, and there's a new part of the story of designing the first golf course in China.

This is a short history of sorts but one well worth taking in. I hope you enjoy this short history of the Ferrier family.

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