dealer⁠⁠ at ⁠deere.com.au⁠  Graeme Andrews is
Superintendent of the beautiful Tamborine Mountain Golf Club in
the Gold Coast Hinterland of Queensland.


Originally from New Zealand, Graeme learned his greenkeeping
trade on cool season grasses on some well known courses. Upon a
holiday trip to Queensland, Graeme soon found his new "home" in
the warm Queensland temperatures.


After moving to Queensland and few years working outside the
industry learning new skills, it wasn't long before greenkeeping
was back in his mind and Graeme was back working on a golf
course.


Tamborine Mountain Golf Club has a unique golf course, very
different from the resort and high quality warm season turf
surfaces the Golf Coast region is known for.


Along with detailing his career, Graeme gives us an insight into
the golf course at Tamborine Mountain, some of the challenges
they've faced recently, along with some course upgrades and
Koalas all in his own jovial and light hearted way.


Come and enjoy a fun ride on the Scenic Rim!





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