Brian Palmer leads the very small team of just 3 who maintain the
50 hectare site of the most southern 18 hole golf course in
Australia - North West Bay Golf Club.





Through this fantastic, grounded conversation, Brad imparts some
wonderful insight into golf in Tasmania along with telling us his
career journey from Kingston Beach Golf Club through Llanherne GC
and now to North West Bay GC. Born and bred locally in the Hobart
region, Brad bounced through a few industries before searching
for the industry that would see him stay to make a career out of.
And that was greenkeeping!





Join us as Brad takes us on a deep dive into Tasmanian and
Hobartian golf, along with a detailed account of the magnificent
Poa greens and blended Fescue and cool season grass fairways that
adorn North West Bay Golf Club whilst it lies in wait for you to
come and visit for a round!





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