The Design Brief segment of The Golfing Greenkeeper Podcast is proudly brought to you by ⁠⁠McMahons⁠⁠. Check out their website to get a better understanding of their suite of services and outstanding portfolio of work at ⁠⁠www.mcmahons.net.auIn his own words Harley Kruse wasn't drawing golf holes dreaming about designing golf courses when he was at school. He became a landscape architect and through working in his early career with Ross Perrett he was soon working on golf projects from a landscape architecture perspective. It wasn't until Ross Perrett teamed up with the late golfing great Peter Thomson and late Michael Wolveridge, which created the golf course design firm Thomson Wolveridge Perrett, that his career would soon turn much more to designing golf courses.Harley Kruse today is an incredibly experienced golf course architect working early on with Thomson Wolveridge Perrett before moving over to Greg Norman Golf Course Design and leading their team in Asia. Following a decline in the Asian golf market, Harley went out to work on his own and started Kruse Golf, but you'll quickly hear that he remained working collaboratively with peers of the architecture industry which he continues to do today. From designing the Norman course at Mission Hills in China, and Danang Dunes in Vietnam, to Settlers Run in Melbourne and more recently remodeling Royal Perth Golf Club with peers Clayton DeVries & Pont, there's a lot packed into this episode.Join Harley and I as we sit down to discuss his extensive golf course architecture career along with a couple of other design questions, in the wonderful Elanora Country Club clubhouse with the magnificent views to the Pacific Ocean! This is another interesting chat that I'm sure you'll take a lot away from.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:Kruse GolfElanora Country ClubCommonwealth Golf ClubCatalina ClubSAGCAThe Lakes Golf ClubRoyal Sydney Golf ClubHanse Golf Course DesignThe Alister MacKenzie SocietyRoyal Melbourne Golf ClubNorth Berwick Golf ClubNeil Crafter (SAGCA Member)Golf Monthly - What is a Revetted Bunker?Golf De FontainebleauClayton DeVries & Pont (CDP)Ross Perrett (SAGCA Member)Peter Thomson - WikiAustralian Senior Golfer - Vale Renowned Golf Course Designer Michael WolveridgeThe National Golf ClubTwin Waters Golf ClubLinks Hope IslandLakeside Golf Club CamdenJustin Trott (SAGCA Member)Paul Mogford (SAGCA Member)Greg Norman Golf Course Design (GNGCD)Bob Harrison (SAGCA Member)The National Golf Club - Moonah CourseSanctuary Lakes Golf ClubBrookwater Golf & Country ClubThe Vintage Golf ClubEllerston GolfMission HillsSand River Golf ClubLegend Danang Golf ResortRoyal Perth Golf ClubCottesloe Golf ClubLukas Michel (SAGCA Member)Woodlands Golf ClubSettlers Run Golf & Country ClubRoyal Adelaide Golf ClubEP.193 The Design Brief - Michael HendersonEP.171 Keeper of the Greens - Darcy JonesEP.175 Keeper of the Greens - Jake GibbsEP.93 Aussie Golf History - Killara Golf Club Part 1
