Walking the Fairways segment of The Golfing Greenkeeper Podcast

This episode of Walking the Fairways sees me chatting with Greens
Director of Ashgrove Golf Club, Simon Putral in Brisbane, and
Superintendent of Lakelands Golf Club, Richard Flesser, on the
Gold Coast, to gain an insight into just what they experienced
from Tropical Cyclone Alfred. We chat about damage done on their
respective golf courses and I also discover how quickly they are
able to recover!





Also included is my 1st time experience of a game at Moore Park
Golf Course just a few days ago. I was joined by lead
spokesperson of the Save Moore Park Golf Course campaign, Jared
Kendler, for a short round of the back 8 holes, which is the
location of the where the NSW State Government are planning to
repurpose the public golf course to make way for a public park.
What I experienced was nothing short of amazing!





I'm also joined on this episode by Nigel Taylor for an update of
his Everesting Challenge that he is embarking on to raise
awareness of mental health.





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