EP.75 Keeper Of The Greens - Tim Warren (Glenelg Golf Club)

Keeper Of The Greens is proudly brought to you by Colin Campbell
Chemicals. Click on their name and it will take you straight to
their website for more information.


Tim Warren may be kicking goals left, right and centre as
Superintendent at Glenelg Golf Club, but he's also worked at
a number of golf courses prior to this position, many of which
you may never have heard of.


Tim grants me, and you as the audience, an open invitation into
his extensive greenkeeping career which saw him leave the family
farm from rural Victoria for an early and brief taste of sports
turf maintenance at the one and only MCG. Tim walks us through
the challenges he encountered from being a hungry young
greenkeeper in search of his first golf course as a
Superintendent, through to managing a golf course during
disastrous bushfires of Central Victoria, all the way to being
ahead of the curve in environmental stewardship managing the
course at Glenelg Golf Club in Adelaide.


Tim also gives us an insight into just what the team and club at
Glenelg are getting up to on course (which is a great deal)
including the work behind Tim and Monina Gilbey recently
receiving the ASTMA Claude Crockford Sustainability &
Environment Award. We also get talking about getting the message
of the work golf clubs and courses are doing regarding
environmental stewardship out into the broader community.


I don't think I need to tell you about my enthusiasm of having
Tim on the podcast for this interview where I've been fangirling
at the thought of this for quite some time! There's so much to
take in during this podcast, so sit back and get ready to enjoy
this one with Tim Warren.


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