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.
