Growing up, helping around the course with his Dad, and playing golf meant Keenan only ever really had eyes on golf in his future.When Keenan finished school he got offered an apprenticeship but it wasn't local to home. No, it was in Adelaide city, far away from the country life he grew up in. It was time to head to the big smoke and take on all that would lay before him. He learnt from some of the best in the industry and one of the best golf clubs in Adelaide and here he would spend 9 years in total before things needed a change.Jumping to today, Keenan is Golf Course Superintendent himself and leads a small, young, energetic team of greenkeepers that maintain the course at Flagstaff Hill Golf Club in the hills to the south east of the city. A golf course in a unique landscape that is moving forward in leaps and bounds recently with a new clubhouse, some course improvements, and the addition of a mini golf course, there's plenty to learn experience and enjoy at Flagstaff Hills GCTo fill in the gaps, hear about preparing for a few Australian Women's Opens, and learn about a golf course you may have never heard about before, grab yourself a Warragamba Slammer (or preferred drink of choice) to stay hydrated as I take you into a lesser known South Australian golf course!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:Flagstaff Hill Golf ClubTara Iti Golf ClubMillicent Golf ClubThe Grange Golf ClubKooyonga Golf ClubRoyal Adelaide Golf ClubGlenelg Golf ClubHighercombe Golf ClubEP.75 Keeper of the Greens - Tim WarrenEP.82 Keeper of the Greens - Rowan DaymondEP.33 Keeper of the Greens - Nathan BennettEP.152 Keeper of the Greens - Bailey WakeEP.130 Keeper of the Greens - Adam Lamb
