    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.

Soon Adam was a member and playing golf at Woodlands Golf Club in Melbourne playing pennants, when at the time he was offered an opportunity to do work experience at the club. With that, Adam could see greenkeeping was a career he enjoyed and wanted to pursue.Adam's first full time job as an apprentice greenkeeper came at the one and only Metropolitan Golf Club on Melbourne's famed Sandbelt. After completing his apprenticeship and working his way up through the ranks over a number of years, Adam landed his first role at Superintendent at Barwon Heads Golf Club. Barwon Heads was a place where Adam could apply his enthusiasm and learn the skills of being a Superintendent along with experiencing and working through all the facets of the role. Following a great part of his career at Barwon Heads, Adam saw an opportunity to make the move back to Melbourne when he was offered the position as Superintendent at Commonwealth Golf Club who were in the early stages of beginning their course redevelopment plan with golf course architects Renaissance Golf and Tom Doak.Adam shares so much of his career and also details all the work that has been completed on course at Commonwealth Golf Club. This is a fantastic insight into both Adam's fantastic career and Commonwealth's sensational golf course, I'm certain you will enjoy this one.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:Commonwealth Golf ClubTarrawingee Golf ClubMetropolitan Golf ClubBarwon Heads Golf ClubWoodlands Golf ClubPort Fairy Golf LinksJubillee Golf ClubKingston Heath Golf ClubRoyal Melbourne Golf ClubColac Golf ClubLeongatha Golf ClubMoonah LinksWarrnambool Golf ClubCrafter + Mogford Golf StrategiesRenaissance Golf DesignTom DoakAlex Russell (article by Golf Course Architecture)The Architect's Series: Legacy of the Morcoms (by Mike Clayton)Richard Forsyth EP.95 Keeper of the GreensGlenn Stuart EP.101 Keeper of the GreensJohn Mann EP.78 Keeper of the GreensNathan Bennett EP.33 Keeper of the Greens
