Fraser Brown might not be someone you've heard of in Australian
greenkeeping before, but he will be after you listen to his story
in this interview.


Lake Karrinyup Country Club is often considered one of, if not,
the best golf course Western Australia has to offer. Designed by
Alex Russell, Australian design partner of Alister MacKenzie, it
is located on a unique site in Perth's northern suburbs. For
nearly the past 8 years Fraser has lead the maintenance team as
Superintendent of this wonderful golf course, preserving its
unique qualities and retaining its proud place in Australian
golf. Fraser's journey to becoming Superintendent at Lake
Karrinyup could be considered as unique the course itself. A
Scotsman growing up in an area the rest of us might consider golf
heaven, Fraser found his early calling, before taking a path less
travelled (possibly by no one ever before) to eventually landing
in Australia and maintaining turf in one of Australia's most
unique locations!


If this story doesn't show you just where greenkeeping can take
you around the world, then nothing will. Come and join Fraser and
I as we learn about the wild west and other far flung corners of
the globe.





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