An early part of Scott's golf course architecture career involved a start at Greg Norman Golf Course Design working with a couple of architects such as Bob Harrison and Harley Kruse. Fast forward a few years and Bob Harrison decided to start his own design firm and he asked Scott to join him in the business. Yes, Scott has been part of Harrison Golf since it's inception!Scott tells us about his early years getting into the industry after which we get stuck into one of Harrison Golf's more famous designs - Ardfin in Scotland. There's a great story here before we stop next to focus on a current Harrison Golf project in detail, being the redesign of the well known Newcastle Golf Club to the north of Sydney.As always there's a few rabbit holes and Scott shares his insights and thoughts of golf course architecture, so join us for a wonderful chat on the new and improved version of The Design Brief brought to you by McMahons.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] and places mentioned in this podcast:Too many to list but here goes....Harrison GolfMetropolitan Golf ClubBrora Golf ClubMachrihanish Golf ClubSociety of Australian Golf Course Architects (SAGCA)International Specialised Skills InstituteOld Tom Morris - WikiAlister MacKenzieAlwoodly Golf ClubMoortown Golf ClubCavendish Golf ClubHarry Colt - WikiSunningdale Golf ClubSt George's Hill Golf ClubSwinley Forest Golf ClubMachrihanish DunesTrump International ScotlandKingsbarns Golf LinksCabot Highlands Castle StuartNorth Berwick Golf ClubCruden Bay Golf ClubArdfinEllerstonThe MachrieCastle Hill Country ClubRiverside Oaks Golf ResortNewcastle Golf ClubSuper Stallion HelicopterAustralian Golf Passport PodcastFried Egg GolfBonville Golf ResortHamilton Island Golf Club
