EP.85 Save Moore Park Golf Course - Jared Kendler

We need your help now, time is running out!


Moore Park Golf Course in Sydney is at an important junction in
its long history as a public golf course. Moore Park Golf Course
was a golf course that from its very inception was built as a
gateway to the sport of golf for the working class of Sydney.
Those who could not afford an entry into the private exclusive
clubs that were being built in the surrounding areas. A copy if
you like, of how golf was accessed by those of the old country,
Scotland.


Recently, pressure to retain 18 holes of golf at Moore Park has
been brought to a head, when late last year the NSW Government
announced its intention to repurpose approximately half of the
golf course space for other outdoor activities which does not
include golf.


Join me on this episode as I phone in a friend with one of the
leaders of the campaign to save Moore Park Golf Course, Jared
Kendler. Jared is a very passionate nearby resident of the Moore
Park Golf Course and a regular player of the course. Listen as we
take a very deep dive into what is at stake for the Moore Park
Golf Course and its long history that began as the very first
iteration of a public golf course in Australia way back in 1910.
We also wade through the details that are sometimes overlooked
when discussing Moore Park Golf Course and why we believe its
very much worth saving and participating in the fight to save it
as 18 holes.
