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

<p>On this segment of Aussie Golf History I&#39;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.</p><p><br></p><p>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&#39;s a new part of the story of designing the first golf course in China.</p><p><br></p><p>This is a short history of sorts but one well worth taking in. I hope you enjoy this short history of the Ferrier family.</p><p><br></p><p>You hit &#39;em clean and we&#39;ll keep &#39;em green!</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/thegolfinggreenkeeper/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper - Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/thegolfgreenkeeper/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper - Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheGolfingGreenkeeperTV" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper TV - YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>Send me an email to - thegolfinggreenkeeper@gmail.com</p><p><br></p><p>People and places mentioned in this podcast:</p><p><a href="https://www.manlygolf.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Manly Golf Club</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/shortgamewizzard/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Philip Baird - Instagram</a></p><p><a href="http://www.australiangolfheritage.org.au/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Australian Golf Heritage Society (AGHS)</a></p><p><a href="https://www.avondalegolfclub.com.au/cms/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Avondale Golf Club</a></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Ferrier" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Jim Ferrier - Wiki</a></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ossie_Pickworth" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Ossie Pickworth - Wiki</a></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Soutar" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Dan Soutar - Wiki</a></p><p><a href="https://www.top100golfcourses.com/architects/eric-apperly" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Eric Apperley - top100golfcourses.com</a></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Hattersley" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Harry Hattersley - Wiki</a></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Kirkwood_Sr." target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Joe Kirkwood - Wiki</a></p><p><a href="https://cammeraygolf.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Cammeray Golf Club</a></p><p><a href="https://www.rsgc.com.au/cms/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Royal Sydney Golf Club</a></p><p><a href="https://www.kgc.com.au/cms/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Killara Golf Club</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0OCXjdtHlU" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Jim Ferrier golf swing - YouTube</a></p><p><a href="https://en.cnhickorygolfers.com/article/757.html" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Opening of Hidden Grace Golf Museum - China</a></p><p><a href="https://www.carnoustiegolflinks.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Carnoustie Golf Links</a></p><p><a href="https://www.carnoustiegolfclub.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Carnoustie Golf Club</a></p><p><a href="https://www.blacksmithbooks.com/books/early-golf-in-china-how-golf-spread-from-scotland-to-china/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Blacksmith Books - Early
