Rowan Daymond is a Superintendent that has just experienced what
it's like to LIV through being the host of a major tournament.
(See what I did there?!)


Rowan's greenkeeping career began from humble beginnings in a
small regional town along the mighty Murray River. Playing golf
with his Grandfather as a young boy, Rowan would grow up to enjoy
the game of golf along with getting a start as a greenkeeper on
the local golf course of his home town of Coomealla. A move to
the South Australian capital Adelaide would see Rowan gain
significant experience under the guidance of a very well
respected Superintendent before taking a break to travel to the
UK. Rowan's career restarted back in Adelaide where he would
begin his long relationship with The Grange Golf Club over a
couple of stints including a rebuild.


Fast forward to today and Rowan leads a large team maintaining
the largest golf facility in Adelaide at The Grange Golf Club
which has just finished playing host to the very first LIV
tournament held in Australia.


Sit down and grab a drink for this one as Rowan gives us an
insight into what it was like hosting the newest version of
tournament golf in the world. He also puts The Grange on your
bucket list of courses to play as we explore just what make The
Grange, The Grange.
