EP.107 Keeper of the Greens - Women in Turf Program (Cobram Barooga Golf Club)

Keeper Of The Greens segment of The Golfing Greenkeeper Podcast
is brought to you by John Deere Golf. When you work where others
play, you need a partner you can trust to keep your course in
perfect condition. Find your nearest⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠J⁠ohn Deere

The Women in Turf Program is supported by John Deere in
collaboration with Envu and the Australian Sports Turf Managers
Association (ASTMA). A key part of the program sees a group of
selected volunteer female greenkeepers from right across
Australia assist the course maintenance team of Cobram Barooga
Golf Club preparing their golf course for the Webex Players
Series Murray River tournament.





Working with John Deere, I was given the opportunity to chat with
each of the volunteers to get an insight into their greenkeeping
careers understanding just what they enjoy about their chosen
career, what it's like working and preparing a golf course for a
tournament for the first time and what they are getting out of
being part of this fantastic industry supported program. I also
speak with Cobram Barooga Golf Club Superintendent Terry Vogel
and CEO Bobby Brooks about what it means to have this program
involved at their club.





Join me as we hear the enthusiasm from an energetic group of
young female greenkeepers as they experience something new in a
part of the country that they've not experienced before.





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