Superintendent of Mudgee Golf Club, Jason Seis, is a 5th
generation farmer from the local Mudgee/Gulgong region of NSW.
Knowing what farming life was all about and being a golfer as a
kid, Jason took an opportunity for some work experience at Mudgee
Golf Club during his later school years. It was at this time that
he found a liking to greenkeeping and what it was all about.





Fast forward to finishing school and Jason decided that he didn't
want to work on the family farm but instead work as a
greenkeeper. Without an apprenticeship available at the time,
Jason was committed to his decision and put himself through the
1st year of greenkeeping at TAFE until he finally landed his
apprenticeship at Mudgee Golf Club.





After completing his apprenticeship Jason was soon on a path to
an Assistant Superintendents role away from the local Mudgee area
for a few years before the family farm would soon come calling.
Moving back home and working on the family farm for nearly 10
years, an opportunity arose with a vacant position of
Superintendent at Mudgee Golf Club and this time it was the
passion of greenkeeping that came calling.





Come for a journey with Jason and I as he gives us an insight
into rural country life and greenkeeping in the Central West of
NSW where it's hot and dusty, and 18 hole golf courses are
separated by hours instead of minutes.
