    2025/04/27

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.au⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shane Baker is Superintendent of Mosman Park Golf Club in Perth, Western Australia. Born and bred in Perth Shane kind of stumbled across greenkeeping during his high school years. Taking time during school to work in sports turf, Shane was soon working on the hallowed grounds of the WACA. Preparing turf for all manner of sports saw Shane gain a wealth of experience early on, as did his time working at Mount Lawley Golf Club. He also gained more experience working at The Western Australian Golf Club and attending the Ohio program which took him to Oakmont GC in the USA.Shane's career has been anything but a straight line. Between working on numerous golf courses and the WACA ground in Perth, to working at exploring countless golf courses in the USA, Shane has gained more experience than your average greenkeeper which led him to his current long term post of 9 years as Superintendent at Mosman Park Golf Club.Granted, the 9 hole golf course of Mosman Park is probably one you're not familiar with however, that doesn't mean it's one you shouldn't know about. Perched high above a magnificent rock cutting of the Swan River, Mosman Park GC is a unique golf course for not only it's beautiful yet tranquil city location, but also its mostly Santa Ana couch green surfaces. Yes, you heard me correctly, Santa Ana greens! Shane gives us an insight into the unique site the golf course is built on and just how interesting the golf course itself is. From its natural setting, to the water challenges, to the turf surfaces, to the routing of the course, this conversation has it all.Join me for another fantastic ride to the west coast of Australia and an interesting insight into another fantastic greenkeeping career, this time with Superintendent Shane Baker.You hit 'em clean and we'll keep 'em green!⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper - Instagram⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper - Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper TV - YouTubeSend me an email to - thegolfinggreenkeeper@gmail.comPeople and places mentioned in this podcast:Mosman Park Golf ClubMount Lawley Golf ClubThe Western Australian Golf ClubWACA Ground - WikiOhio International Intern ProgramOakmont Country ClubQuail Hollow ClubAraluen EstateNedlands Golf ClubPoint Walter Golf CourseSea View Golf ClubFremantle Public Golf CourseCottesloe Golf ClubGolf Course Superintendents Association of Western Australia (GCSAWA)7 Mile Beach GolfEP.118 The Design Brief: Rob Collins - King Collins Dormer - SpotifyEP.102 Keeper of the Greens - Idris Evans (The Western Australian Golf Club) - SpotifyEP.33 Keeper of the Green - Nathan Bennett (Royal Adelaide Golf Club)

    EP.118 - The Design Brief: Rob Collins - King Collins Dormer Golf Course Design
    2025/04/20
    Rob Collins and King Collins Dormer are fast becoming well known throughout the United States of America, thanks in part to their design of cult hero golf course at Sweetens Cove Golf Club in Tennessee, and their big, bold, home run hitting design of the golf course at Landmand Golf Club in Nebraska, both under the former guise as King Collins. Apart from these special two designs, a number of other new golf course designs coming soon in the USA, and the addition of Trevor Dormer, thus becoming King Collins Dormer, they have something very new on their horizon. Their first new 18 hole course design outside the USA. And it will be at one of Australia's most talked about golf course destinations, 7 Mile Beach! Yes, with the 1st 18 hole course designed by Clayton DeVries Pont (CDP) soon to be open for play, King Collins Dormer are champing at the bit and ready to begin the design and construction of their addition, to not only this incredible golf site, but the Australian golf landscape!Recorded during US Masters week, Rob Collins and I discuss his background to give the wider Australian audience a better understanding of just who both he and King Collins Dormer are. Oh yeah, and as it turns out, there's the uncanny prophetic skills of Rob picking the Masters winner after just 1 round! Rob takes us through his career in golf course design and we ride the wave of emotions that he has experienced to get to where he is today beginning with his first golf course baby - Sweetens Cove. From Sweetens to Landmand, and the small public 9 hole golf course redesign of Overton Park in the middle, would prove significant to the public's understanding of what the formerly known King Collins design team was capable of. Their fun, engaging, interesting and considerably entertaining designs had them standing out of the crowd. Enter the not yet open, 7 Mile Beach golf complex, the vision of Australian professional golfer and now golf course developer Mat Goggin, and the world has the ingredients for something truly sensational.For all the fans out there of Australian golf courses and Rob Collins, this is one conversation you don't want to miss out on. Join me for some fun and insight with Rob as I get my fan-girling on and he butters us up to get even more excited about 7 Mile Beach in Hobart, Tasmania!You hit 'em clean and we'll keep 'em green!The Golfing Greenkeeper - InstagramThe Golfing Greenkeeper - Facebook⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper TV - YouTubePeople and places mentioned in this podcast:King Collins Dormer7 Mile BeachSweetens Cove Golf ClubLandmand Golf ClubOverton Park Golf CourseBounty Club21 Golf ClubSand Hills Golf Club - WikiPinehurst No.2St Andrews Links - The Old CourseRoyal Dornoch Golf ClubThe Royal Country Down Golf ClubEP.84 - The Board Room: Mat Goggin (7 Mile Beach) - AppleEP.84 - The Board Room: Mat Goggin (7 Mile Beach) - Spotify

  • EP.117 Walking the Fairways - Royal Sydney Golf Club with Superintendent Adam Marchant

    EP.117 Walking the Fairways - Royal Sydney Golf Club with Superintendent Adam Marchant
    2025/04/14

    Walking the Fairways segment of The Golfing Greenkeeper Podcast is proudly brought to you by ⁠Colin Campbell Chemicals⁠⁠⁠ www.campbellchemicals.com.au and ⁠Dint Golf Solutions⁠⁠ www.dint.com.au


    Royal Sydney Golf Club has been through a great deal of hard in the background prior to the commencement of breaking ground by Golf Course Architect Gil Hanse and his team back in 2023. Gil was selected by the club back in 2016 to reimagine the golf course, a club that is one of the oldest in Australia's.


    Soon after the project's announcement, backlash from some members of the local community would ultimately force the project to the Land & Environment Court, which after a number of years, would rule in favour of the golf club.


    Golf Course Superintendent, Adam Marchant, has an insight to the entire project that few others have. He and his team were at the centre of this entire project given that they are the ones who will care for and nurture the new golf course into the future, along with retaining the architectural and environmental integrity of what has been created.


    If you want to know more about the detail of the new course at Royal Sydney Golf Club, then this is the podcast episode for you. Join with me as Adam gives a deep and extensive insight into the entirety of this enormous project from top to bottom and everything in-between, including how greenkeeping and architecture are intertwined to deliver a specific type of golf course. You are in the box seat as Adam describes everything in great detail that not only went into creating this new golf course, but what it will take to maintain it into the future.


    Royal Sydney Golf Club could just be the new definition for golf in Sydney!


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