Nik Smith is Superintendent of Proserpine Golf Club in regional
North Queensland, but don't let that detail have you thinking he
hasn't seen much. Oh no!
Nik's career began on the Melbourne Sandbelt at Commonwealth Golf
Club. Through some old school perseverance, Nik was given an
opportunity to carve out the beginnings of his greenkeeping
career at Commonwealth GC where he really got a taste for the
trade. His next step would be to the one and only Kingston Heath
Golf Club where he would spend a few years working, including
preparing for the 1995 Men's Australian Open that was won by Greg
Norman.
From here you'll just have to listen and see how wild Nik's ride
becomes, which if you're reading this, includes thousands of
kilometres travelled, remote country towns, one of Perth's best
golf courses, wild buffalo and a crocodile!
Sit back, take a big deep breathe, tighten up your seatbelt
because this one is wild!
You hit 'em clean and we'll keep 'em green!
