    EP.210 The Design Brief - Paul Mogford (Crafter + Mogford)

    The Design Brief segment of The Golfing Greenkeeper Podcast is proudly brought to you by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠McMahons⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Check out their website to get a better understanding of their suite of services and outstanding portfolio of work at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.mcmahons.net.au⁠⁠ Paul Mogford came into golf course architecture from a landscape architecture background. It was after reading an article written by the late great Peter Thomson that, as Paul puts it, "lit a flame". And so began his pursuit to work in the golf course architecture industry. This conversation with Paul explores some of Paul's work as an architect such as Metropolitan and Sanctuary Cove, and there's a brand new project soon to start. We also explore his partnership in business with Neil Crafter where they would ultimately become Crafter + Mogford, and I have an interesting question for Paul to close out our conversation, which is met with an equally interesting answer! This conversation will keep you entertained and maybe even asking yourself some questions, particularly at the end, so get comfy, put your ears on and join us as we go deep!

    EP.205 The Design Brief - Neil Crafter (Crafter + Mogford)

    The Design Brief segment of The Golfing Greenkeeper Podcast is proudly brought to you by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠McMahons⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Check out their website to get a better understanding of their suite of services and outstanding portfolio of work at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.mcmahons.net.au⁠⁠ Neil Crafter is part of a great golfing family from Adelaide in South Australia. His father and uncle were golf professionals in Adelaide, and it was probably going to be a given that Neil and his sister Jane would ultimately become very good golfers as well. As Neil grew through his playing career he decided that he wasn't going to be quite good enough to earn a living from playing golf and changed his focus to studying architecture. His architecture degree combined with passion for golf, and assisting his father designing golf courses in South Australia meant Neil would soon discover his work passion was golf course architecture. Join Neil and myself as we discuss his career path into becoming one of Australia's respected golf course architects, some of the golf courses that he has recently worked on, along with his other passions of golf architecture history, Dr Alister MacKenzie, and writing books.
