    2026/07/28
    Well, here we are together, at the milestone of 200 podcast episodes!This episode itself is a time to reflect and say thank you. I decided to do a couple of live podcast recordings where listeners and followers could ring in to the podcast and help me celebrate 200 episodes and talk about what they like. I also wanted to get in touch with and include a few people that had an influence on me from the early days on the pod, who I haven't spoken to for a few years.Come on an audio journey with me for a celebration of a different kind full of thanks and gratitude. Oh and there's also a guest you've never heard of or from before, and you most likely will never hear from them again after this!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:EP.100 Keeper of the Greens - When the Host Becomes the GuestEP.180 Walking the Fairways - Nico Douglas Sandhurst ClubEP.95 Keeper of the Greens - Richard ForsythEP.78 Keeper of the Greens - John MannEP.24 Keeper of the Greens - Phil HillVGCSANSWGCSAEP.174 Walking the Fairways - Brenton ClarkeSettlers Run Golf & Country ClubEP.150 Full Turf Nerd with Craig GeeveEP.145 Keeper of the Greens - Craig GeeveEP.37 Keeper of the Greens - Mathew SolesEP.88 Keeper of the Greens - Matthew BaileyEP.90 Keeper of the Greens - Jimmy DownesEP.194 Walking the Fairways - Jimmy DownesEP.21 Loch and Leesh - Finding FairwaysFinding Fairways Aus - InstagramTamworth Golf ClubUralla Golf ClubSt Andrews Beach Golf CourseRosebud Country ClubThe Dunes Golf LinksPalm Beach Golf ClubEP.35 Keeper of the Greens - Pete CawseyEastwood Golf ClubEP.33 Keeper of the Greens - Nathan BennettEP.187 The Design Brief - Scott ChampionRoss Flannigan - InstagramMy Love of Golf Podcast - SpotifyMy Love of Golf Podcast - The Golfing GreenkeeperPeninsula Kingswood Country Golf ClubNorth Berwick Golf ClubThe National Golf ClubThe 1457 Podcast - SpotifyRoyal Birkdale Golf ClubHillside Golf ClubThornbury Golf ClubCraigielaw Golf ClubGullane Golf ClubMuirfield Golf ClubNomadic Aussie GolferTony Ellis: Nomadic Golfer - InstagramCoolangatta & Tweed Heads Golf ClubEP.128 Changing the Game with John Deere GolfEP.185 Royal Melbourne - Behind the Scenes of the Men's Australian OpenEP.160 Steve's Random Special Guest - Nadeem ZreikatJohn Deere Golf - AustraliaJohn Deere - New ZealandDint Golf SolutionsMcMahonsColin Campbell ChemicalsBehind the Turf Podcast - SpotifyThe Toolbox Team

    EP.198 The Design Brief - Harley Kruse (Kruse Golf)
    2026/07/15
    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.auIn his own words Harley Kruse wasn't drawing golf holes dreaming about designing golf courses when he was at school. He became a landscape architect and through working in his early career with Ross Perrett he was soon working on golf projects from a landscape architecture perspective. It wasn't until Ross Perrett teamed up with the late golfing great Peter Thomson and late Michael Wolveridge, which created the golf course design firm Thomson Wolveridge Perrett, that his career would soon turn much more to designing golf courses.Harley Kruse today is an incredibly experienced golf course architect working early on with Thomson Wolveridge Perrett before moving over to Greg Norman Golf Course Design and leading their team in Asia. Following a decline in the Asian golf market, Harley went out to work on his own and started Kruse Golf, but you'll quickly hear that he remained working collaboratively with peers of the architecture industry which he continues to do today. From designing the Norman course at Mission Hills in China, and Danang Dunes in Vietnam, to Settlers Run in Melbourne and more recently remodeling Royal Perth Golf Club with peers Clayton DeVries & Pont, there's a lot packed into this episode.Join Harley and I as we sit down to discuss his extensive golf course architecture career along with a couple of other design questions, in the wonderful Elanora Country Club clubhouse with the magnificent views to the Pacific Ocean! This is another interesting chat that I'm sure you'll take a lot away from.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:Kruse GolfElanora Country ClubCommonwealth Golf ClubCatalina ClubSAGCAThe Lakes Golf ClubRoyal Sydney Golf ClubHanse Golf Course DesignThe Alister MacKenzie SocietyRoyal Melbourne Golf ClubNorth Berwick Golf ClubNeil Crafter (SAGCA Member)Golf Monthly - What is a Revetted Bunker?Golf De FontainebleauClayton DeVries & Pont (CDP)Ross Perrett (SAGCA Member)Peter Thomson - WikiAustralian Senior Golfer - Vale Renowned Golf Course Designer Michael WolveridgeThe National Golf ClubTwin Waters Golf ClubLinks Hope IslandLakeside Golf Club CamdenJustin Trott (SAGCA Member)Paul Mogford (SAGCA Member)Greg Norman Golf Course Design (GNGCD)Bob Harrison (SAGCA Member)The National Golf Club - Moonah CourseSanctuary Lakes Golf ClubBrookwater Golf & Country ClubThe Vintage Golf ClubEllerston GolfMission HillsSand River Golf ClubLegend Danang Golf ResortRoyal Perth Golf ClubCottesloe Golf ClubLukas Michel (SAGCA Member)Woodlands Golf ClubSettlers Run Golf & Country ClubRoyal Adelaide Golf ClubEP.193 The Design Brief - Michael HendersonEP.171 Keeper of the Greens - Darcy JonesEP.175 Keeper of the Greens - Jake GibbsEP.93 Aussie Golf History - Killara Golf Club Part 1

Upon becoming a qualified greenkeeper Harry began looking abroad to gain more experience in the industry which would lead him to the Home of Golf - St Andrews!You'll have to listen in for Harry's full story which is unbelievable and includes a stint at Paraparaumu Beach Golf Club and also maintaining a football stadium in England before the opportunity to lead the team at Muriwai Golf Links.Lap this one up and with a few laughs along the way as I venture virtually across the ditch for this unreal conversation.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:Muriwai Golf LinksSt Andrews Beach Golf CoursePortsea Golf ClubThe National Golf ClubASTMAOCM DesignHuntingdale Golf ClubLonsdale LinksPhil Tataurangi - LinkedInTara ItiMt Maunganui Golf ClubOmanu Golf ClubSt AndrewsThe Road Hole - YouTubeSwilcan Bridge - WikiLeo Barber - LinkedInThe Hills Golf ClubParaparaumu Beach Golf ClubHayling Golf ClubAirSwing MediaRanfurlie Golf ClubConcord Golf ClubRenaissance Golf DesignTom DoakThe National Golf Club - Long Island CoursesEP.195 Keeper of the Greens - Brenden BenadEP.179 Keeper of the Greens - Andrew Anderson

Not at all! In fact, he is probably one of very few that have gone from maintaining horse racecourses over to maintaining golf courses. Yes, from the outset, and unbeknownst to me, Brenden's greenkeeping career is rather different to most I've had the pleasure of chatting with on the podcast in the past. And from that difference comes many different rabbit holes. We also get to learn about the Manly golf course and what makes it such a unique and interesting site to maintain on top of being a highly regarded and historic golf course.Our conversation also takes in topics such as leadership, people management, team culture, professional development, personal growth, and the often less discussed topic of mental health. We go into all sorts of areas in this one and enjoy ourselves along the way with a few laughs, and many sayings and analogies!If any of the discussions in this podcast raised concerns with your mental health you can contact:Lifeline (Australia): 13 11 14 or visit ⁠⁠⁠www.lifeline.org.au⁠⁠⁠Beyond Blue (Australia): 1300 224 636 or visit www.beyondblue.org.au⁠⁠⁠MensLine Australia: 1300 789 978 or visit www.mensline.org.au⁠You 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:Manly Golf ClubThe Australian Golf ClubMornington RacecourseCaulfield Racecourse - WikiRoyal Melbourne Golf ClubElanora Country ClubMagenta Shores Golf & Country ClubManly Warringah Sea EaglesThomson Perrett (Now Perrett Webb)Redland Bay Golf ClubThe Lakes Golf ClubEP.95 Keeper of the Greens - Richard ForsythEP.122 Keeper of the Greens - James NewellEP.149 Keeper of the Greens - Dion Cope

Jimmy also gives us a full wrap up of what's going on around other NT courses including Darwin GC, The Gardens, Katherine, and Jabiru.

Check out their website to get a better understanding of their suite of services and outstanding portfolio of work at ⁠www.mcmahons.net.auFrom humble beginnings in Melbourne after finishing school, Michael Henderson found a desire in wanting to understand golf course architecture much more. He read all he could find and put himself on a path to earning an opportunity to work in this rather niche industry.From submitting design work to a golf course architecture competition, to working at Royal Melbourne Golf Club, Michael wanted in on the golf architecture world and nothing was going to stop him. He gained a couple of different opportunities over time working with a couple of well known firms, including shaping on site helping to build the well known and now famous Tara Iti in New Zealand.Fast forward to today and Michael is now a member of the Society of Australian Golf Course architects having completed his own work to redesign an amazing transformation of Mallacoota Golf Club after the devastating 2019 bushfires, along with recent work at Flinders Golf Club on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula.Come along for the ride as we launch into Michael's background and career, along with some fun and interesting discussions around courses other than 18 holes.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:Holes in the GroundMichael Henderson SAGCA ProfileSociety of Australian Golf Course Architects (SAGCA)The Lakes Golf ClubPennant Hills Golf ClubRoyal Lytham & St Annes Golf ClubSandhurst ClubNorth Berwick Golf ClubHokitika Golf ClubRoyal Melbourne Golf ClubTom DoakTony Cashmore Profile - Planet GolfTara Iti Golf Club13th BeachThe Dunes Golf LinksRenaissance GolfThe National Golf Club - Gunnamatta CourseConcord Golf Club7 Mile BeachClayton DeVries & Pont (CDP)Mallacoota Golf & Country ClubMallacoota's Story - The Victorian Bushfires RememberedCurlewis Golf ClubFlinders Golf ClubWollongong Golf ClubAlister MacKenzie SocietyBarwon Heads Golf ClubNewgreens ChatswoodMoore Park Golf CourseBarnbougle - Bougle RunKingston Heath Golf Club - The FurrowsLatrobe Golf Club - The IslandCommonwealth Golf ClubMetropolitan Golf ClubCrafter Mogford - Golf StrategiesEP.187 The Design Brief - Scott ChampionEP.78 Keeper of the Greens - John MannEP.130 Keeper of the Greens - Adam Lamb
