Sophie Warren is a young upcoming female greenkeeper! Having
recently received the Turf Management South Australia (TMSA)
Graduate of the Year award Sophie has got the greenkeeping world
at her fingertips.





Sophie is currently a 4th year apprentice and very soon to become
a fully qualified greenkeeper at Glenelg Golf Club in Adelaide,
South Australia. With a full course rebuild of Glenelg GC being
conducted throughout her entire apprenticeship, Sophie is
learning not only her trade, but she is being exposed to and
learning many techniques and skills that few apprentices are
afforded.





Having been the first ever apprentice I've interviewed on the
podcast, I wanted to see how Sophie got into the trade of
greenkeeping and find out what it is about greenkeeping that she
enjoys so much. We dive into what she's experienced in the
industry, not only at Glenelg Golf Club, but also being invited
to be part of the John Deere Women in Turf Program, and
volunteering at the Australian Open.





Sophie is a bright star of the future of greenkeeping and at the
same time, a very down to earth individual. Come with us as we
have a bit of fun and a laugh along the way and see just why this
apprentice greenkeeper is enjoying her career so much!
