Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP.217 Keeper of the Greens - Brett Stuesser (Bannockburn Golf Club)
Q: Tell us a little about what Bannockburn Golf Club is like.
Stuesser describes a tree-lined course carved from a reserve and former sugar gum plantation, with undulating terrain, volunteer support and grass greens developed after a major donation. The course uses Santa Ana couch on tees and fairways and winter-green couch on greens and surrounds, with shade and recycled-water restrictions among its maintenance challenges.
EP.217 Keeper of the Greens - Brett Stuesser (Bannockburn Golf Club)
Q: How did you get into the trade of greenkeeping, and how did you work your way through your career to being superintendent at Bannockburn?
Stuesser began working at Falcon Lake Golf Course after high school, later completed a Green Space Management diploma with a turf specialization, and gained experience in grounds maintenance, golf-course roles and an assistant superintendent position. After seven years as superintendent at Strathallan, he moved to Bannockburn for the challenge of managing an 18-hole course.
EP.215 McMahons The Design Brief - Justin Trott (Programmed Turnpoint)
Q: Can you tell us a bit about, I've been fortunate to have Superintendent Brad Hole on the podcast to talk about his green keeping career journey and also looking after Hammo and what's involved. Tell us a little bit about the background of that because Thompson Wolveridge desired Thompson Wolveridge Perrett or Thompson Perrett. I can't remember who it was at the time.
Trott says Thomson Wolveridge Perrett worked on the Hamilton Island project for Bob Oatley. Securing approval took about ten years and involved extensive environmental and planning requirements; the team faced major routing and construction challenges on Dent Island.
EP.215 McMahons The Design Brief - Justin Trott (Programmed Turnpoint)
Q: Which is more challenging to work on from your perspective? Is it a brand new design from scratch or is it remodeling a golf course that's existing?
Trott finds remodeling more challenging because clubs compare the result with what was there before, making it difficult for an architect to satisfy every expectation.
EP.214 Keeper of the Greens - Richard Flesser (Lakelands Golf Club)
Q: Within Australia and New Zealand, which golf course, not your own, would you recommend people visit and why?
Flesser recommends Teven Golf Club for its beauty, careful presentation, distinctive Zoysia turf and memorable ninth hole.
