Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP.199 Walking the Fairways - feat. Dave Meadows (Smoke & Soul Project)
Q: I want you to explain this to us. You're doing a journey around essentially a selfless journey with the family. What's it all about?
We're feeding the homeless and disadvantaged people around the country, starting in Adelaide and expanding as we travel, using barbecues and a supportive network to provide meals and hope.
EP.198 The Design Brief - Harley Kruse (Kruse Golf)
Q: Which is more exciting to work on, a brand-new design from scratch or a remodel of an existing course?
Harley Kruse indicates that while new-builds are highly satisfying because you can stamp every detail, remodeling can be rewarding when you improve flow, routing, and integration with the site's existing character, especially in historic clubs.
EP.192 Keeper of the Greens - Hayden Mead (Kingston Heath Golf Club)
Q: How does the club reconciles its historic championship routing with modern tournament demands?
Response explains the interchangeability of layouts, the elimination of the 10th hole in certain routings, and the close clustering of key holes around the clubhouse to create a tournament-friendly atmosphere.
EP.192 Keeper of the Greens - Hayden Mead (Kingston Heath Golf Club)
Q: What was your first reaction to Kingston Heath when you walked the course as a candidate, and how did it feel to potentially lead such a storied property?
He describes walking the course on the initial visit and being struck by the course's impressive qualities, which motivated him to pursue the role despite the challenge and visibility.
EP.192 Keeper of the Greens - Hayden Mead (Kingston Heath Golf Club)
Q: Have you ever considered working at other clubs during your ascent to a superintendent role?
He recalls not looking much outside Spring Valley, driven by a clear path and a strong belief in what could be done there, along with opportunities presented by hosting Vic Opens and showcasing growth.
