It's time to go to the Melbourne Sandbelt, to a place you may or
may not have heard of before for this segment of Keeper Of The
Greens. Keysborough Golf Club is my next stop and Superintendent
Nick Launer is my guest on the podcast for this episode.


Nick grew up in regional Victoria where the local golf club,
Neangar Park, was his Royal Melbourne as he puts it. Considering
his future work prospects at a young age, Nick made a phone call
to start a career path working in sport that would ultimately
lead him to getting his first taste of sports turf management at
one of Australia's best golf courses!


Through working at a number of fantastic golf courses in his
career and being mentored along the way by some of the best in
the greenkeeping industry, Nick has garnered a load of experience
and skills which culminated in securing the role of
Superintendent at Keysborough Golf Club. 


Come along with Nick and I for this great journey as we discuss
his career in full and open up some of the detail of Keysborough
Golf Club that you may not have heard before.
