I head down to the famous golf region of the Melbourne Sandbelt and into the newly redesigned Sandy Golf Links where I talk to Superintendent Geraldine O'Callaghan. One of very few female greenkeepers in Australia, Gerri talks about her background as an all round sports fan and her start as a mature aged student getting into the industry. From her humble beginnings growing up on the family farm in northern Victoria, all the way to working at one of the greatest golf courses in the world before taking charge as Superintendent at the redeveloped Sandy Links, Gerri's story is captivating. Hard working, grounded, humble and strong! Gerri is a fantastic leader of the greenkeeping industry and one that I think we can all look up to. You hit 'em clean and we'll keep 'em green!
