In fact, Andrew hails from Brisbane in the sunshine state, Queensland. Growing up in Brisbane, Andrew began his greenkeeping career at a humble local 9 hole golf course before moving to complete his apprenticeship and Virginia Golf Club "The course of champions".As Andrew's thirst for more grew with his career, he took the step of moving interstate to Sydney where he would work at a couple of high profile courses learning from some of NSW's most well respected superintendents. From here it was a matter of progression before Andrew made the move to Melbourne where he took a role at one of Melbourne sandbelt's famed clubs - Metropolitan GC.As Andrew has grown in his career, learning from some of the best minds of our industry, he has developed his own style of greenkeeping which he is developing further as Course Superintendent at Ranfurlie GC. A great part of our conversation not only involves discovering much about Ranfurlie, but also Andrew's thoughts about our industry more broadly including the world of technology, including where we may be headed and how we can use this technology to our advantage.Join me on this exciting ride with a glimpse into the possibilities of the future of our industry from one of our deep thinkers.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 - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠People and places mentioned in this podcast:Ranfurlie Golf ClubRACV Healesville Country Club & ResortSandgate Golf ClubVirginia Golf ClubBonnie Doon Golf ClubNSW Golf ClubTerrey Hills Golf & Country ClubMetropolitan Golf ClubWorld Cup of Golf - WikiClayton DeVries & Pont (CDP)Andrew Anderson's article on the future as mentioned in the podcastEP.68 Keeper of the Greens - Nick LaunerEP.78 Keeper of the Greens - John MannEP.157 The Design Brief - Mike ClaytonEP.173 Keeper of the Greens - Tom Aldridge
