EP.59 Keeper Of The Greens - Shaun Bowden (Royal Hobart Golf Club)

It's time to visit the Apple Isle for only the second time since
starting Keeper Of The Greens and I'm very excited to be visiting
another "Royal" golf club.


Shaun Bowden is the Superintendent of Royal Hobart Golf Club and
comes with a load of experience from working on numerous high
profile golf courses on the east coast of Australia and under
some of the country's esteemed Superintendents. I'm sure you'll
enjoy this conversation I have with Shaun as I discover how it
was "luck" that got him into greenkeeping after a life changing
turn away from professional sport. Shaun soon decided that if he
was going to do greenkeeping, then he was all in! Fast forward
from learning his skills and knowledge from some of the best turf
managers in Australia, Shaun now heads up the team that maintain
the course at Royal Hobart Golf Club in Tasmania. The only
Tasmanian golf club to have hosted the men's Australian Open.


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