Matthew Bailey may not have the experience of someone that has
worked an numerous courses, but he more than makes up for it on
the two courses he has worked at!


Matthew's early greenkeeping career saw him learning under two
highly respected superintendents where he would experience course
construction and a new course build from scratch. Quickly
climbing the ranks it wasn't long before he would become
Superintendent at Lynwood. An amalgamation soon after taking the
reins and a few years working as Superintendent soon saw an offer
of a senior management role inside the clubhouse. A pandemic and
consecutive floods during one of the wettest periods on record
had Matthew learning on the run and thinking outside the box in
many ways to help make Lynwood a great community club as well as
a great golf facility.


A greenkeeper at heart, the golf course has always been the
centre of Matthew's thoughts, and it wasn't long before he was
back outside leading the team and maintaining the golf course in
the hands on role he loves yet again.


This is a fun yarn that has a bit for everyone. Strap yourself in
for a ride that experiences everything without going anywhere.


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