EP.94 Aussie Golf History - Killara Golf Club Part 2

Killara Golf Club is celebrating 125 years in 2024!





We pick up the Killara Golf Club story in 1932. This second part
of the podcast sees the club navigate their way through the
challenging time after the clubhouse has been gutted by fire. The
Second World War has an impact on both the club and Australia,
and moving into the 1960's the club was looking to upgrade the
golf course with architect Commander John Harris.





Along with learning about the continued history of the golf club,
this second part of the episode brings in a number of personal
insights from the recent history of the golf club with a number
of guests joining me throughout the story. These guests allow us
to understand and see what goes on deep inside the golf club and
just how Killara is functioning as a club and looking to move
forward and plan for the future.





As we come to the completion of Killara Golf Club's story, I am
also joined by Golf Course Architect Harley Kruse. Harley details
his thoughts on just what his recent redesign of the golf course
has delivered to the club and how it is setting the club and
course up for the future.





Come and join me on this final part of this history podcast
journey as I continue the deep dive to complete this amazing
story of just what makes Killara Golf Club not only one of
Sydney's greatest golf treasures, but also one of Australia's!





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