    EP.217 Keeper of the Greens - Brett Stuesser (Bannockburn Golf Club)

    Keeper Of The Greens segment of The Golfing Greenkeeper Podcast is brought to you by John Deere Golf. When you work where others play, you need a partner you can trust to keep your course in perfect condition. Find your nearest ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠J⁠ohn Deere dealer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠deere.com.au⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Brett Stuesser is the superintendent of Bannockburn Golf Club. Bannockburn is a regional golf club west of Geelong in Victoria, and a long way from where Brett grew up in Winnipeg, Canada. Yes, that's right, Canada! Growing up in an extremely cold environment and working on golf courses in Canada, as it turns out, is seasonal work. And it wasn't too long before a young Brett travelled to Australia's Gold Coast, far away from the cold environment he was so used to. Working back in Canada for a few more years after visiting Australia, Brett felt maybe Australia was a place to get consistent work on a golf course. And so Melbourne was soon to become his new home. Join Brett and I as we discover his career in greenkeeping that brought him to Australia where he would find his future wife, enjoy a love of travel, knuckle down to become a superintendent, and I also learn a few new words and phrases along the way! Brett is also my first Canadian born guest and this is one awesome yarn!

October 2026 also marks 100 years since Dr. Alister MacKenzie arrived in Melbourne on his famed tour of Australia and Royal Melbourne Golf Club played host this week to a significant celebration. I also have quite a bit of news coming from New Zealand including the new Gibbston Valley Golf Course open for play, Wanaka Golf Club's new spare green, Waikanae Golf Club is powering through their new 9th hole works, and Glendhu Bay Golf Course is getting ever closer to being finished. And of course, I'm still finding some new golf holes with massive elevation drops from tee to green. So much, so that we have a contender for the title on this segment.

    EP.215 McMahons The Design Brief - Justin Trott (Programmed Turnpoint)

    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 golf course construction and other sports turf work at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.mcmahons.net.au⁠⁠ Justin Trott is a name you may not be familiar with. But after this podcast episode you may well be asking, how did I not know?! Justin grew up in a small regional township just outside Melbourne and was keen golfer. It was a very good round of golf and chance meeting with Ross Perrett as a kid that set a path for Justin's future to becoming a golf course architect. That chance meeting soon gave way to Justin doing work experience with Ross which then would see Justin's career begin at the same time as the boom of golf in Australia during the late 80's and early 90's working ultimately in the design house of the well known Thomson Wolveridge Perrett of the time. Fast forward to today after being involved with numerous projects in many different capacities such as The National Golf Club, Moonah Links, Hamilton Island Golf Club, Cape Wickham, and most recently, The Cliffs Kangaroo Island, and Justin has now amassed a long, established, and fruitful career as a golf course architect, often without public recognition. Join me on this incredible journey as Justin takes us through some of his biggest career moments, including a few stories about the late Peter Thomson, and a look into the future of golf course architecture in Australia as President of the Society of Australian Golf Course Architects.

    Keeper Of The Greens segment of The Golfing Greenkeeper Podcast is brought to you by John Deere Golf.

He might be leading the team maintaining this well known course right now, but his career began far from the highs of such a facility. Growing up as a Gold Coast boy, Richard wasn't one of those kids who was always chasing golf. Whilst he began mowing lawns at an early age, his father was a butcher by trade, and Richard went about earning money trying his hand at a number of different jobs. When he did get an opportunity to work on a golf course, it wasn't the glamourous well known tracks of the Gold Coast we hear about today, but it was a start nevertheless! From here he would go on to help build a number of the most well known golf courses of the Gold Coast through the boom years of golf in the 1990's before settling into a career greenkeeping groove at Royal Pines and then Lakelands Golf Club itself. Join Richard and I as he takes us on a nostalgic trip through the years of golf on the Gold Coast and hearing about the rise in his career along with the rise of golf on the Gold Coast, learning and experiencing some of the highest level of maintenance and presentation of any golf course working under some of the country's best greenkeepers.

    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!
