EP.204 Aussie Golf History - The Ferrier Family: From Carnoustie to Manly via China

On this segment of Aussie Golf History I'm joined by Philip Baird, Director of Golf and historian at Manly Golf Club. Phil and I talk about the lineage of the Ferrier family beginning with the well known Jim Ferrier, past golf professional of Manly Golf Club, and we go backwards from there.The main reason behind this podcast is some new information that has recently been found in China and shared amongst golf historians of the understanding of how Jim Ferrier from Manly Golf Club is related to John Ferrier, a founding member of Carnoustie Golf Club, and there's a new part of the story of designing the first golf course in China.This is a short history of sorts but one well worth taking in. I hope you enjoy this short history of the Ferrier family.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:Manly Golf ClubPhilip Baird - InstagramAustralian Golf Heritage Society (AGHS)Avondale Golf ClubJim Ferrier - WikiOssie Pickworth - WikiDan Soutar - WikiEric Apperley - top100golfcourses.comHarry Hattersley - WikiJoe Kirkwood - WikiCammeray Golf ClubRoyal Sydney Golf ClubKillara Golf ClubJim Ferrier golf swing - YouTubeOpening of Hidden Grace Golf Museum - ChinaCarnoustie Golf LinksCarnoustie Golf ClubBlacksmith Books - Early Golf in China 1870 - 1950 How Modern Golf Spread from Scotland to ChinaEP.11 Aussie Golf History - Dan SoutarEP.93 Aussie Golf History - Killara Golf Club Part 1EP.164 Aussie Golf History - Avondale Golf Club Part 1EP.195 Keeper of the Greens - Brenden Benad
