His father and uncle were golf professionals in Adelaide, and it was probably going to be a given that Neil and his sister Jane would ultimately become very good golfers as well.</p><p><br></p><p>As Neil grew through his playing career he decided that he wasn&#39;t going to be quite good enough to earn a living from playing golf and changed his focus to studying architecture. His architecture degree combined with passion for golf, and assisting his father designing golf courses in South Australia meant Neil would soon discover his work passion was golf course architecture.</p><p><br></p><p>Join Neil and myself as we discuss his career path into becoming one of Australia&#39;s respected golf course architects, some of the golf courses that he has recently worked on, along with his other passions of golf architecture history, Dr Alister MacKenzie, and writing books. You&#39;re sure to enjoy this one as much as I do!</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/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper - Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/thegolfgreenkeeper/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper - Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheGolfingGreenkeeperTV">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠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.golfstrategies.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Crafter + Mogford</a></p><p><a href="https://thelakesgolfclub.com.au/cms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">The Lakes Golf Club</a></p><p><a href="https://www.yarrayarra.com.au/cms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Yarra Yarra Golf Club</a></p><p><a href="https://www.kooyongagolf.com.au/cms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Kooyonga Golf Club</a></p><p><a href="https://www.doakgolf.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Tom Doak</a></p><p><a href="https://www.doakgolf.com/confidential-guide-to-golf-courses/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Tom Doak - The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses</a></p><p><a href="https://bandondunesgolf.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Bandon Dunes Golf Resort</a></p><p><a href="https://www.kingstonheath.melbourne/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Kingston Heath Golf Club</a></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Soutar" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Dan Soutar - Wiki</a></p><p><a href="https://mackenziesociety.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Alister MacKenzie</a></p><p><a href="https://www.royalmelbourne.com.au/courses/creators/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Mick Morcom - The Creators - Royal Melbourne Golf Club</a></p><p><a href="https://barnbougle.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Barnbougle</a></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Crafter" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Jane Crafter - Wiki</a></p><p><a href="https://northadelaidegolf.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">North Adelaide Golf Course</a></p><p><a href="https://www.fhgc.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Flagstaff Hill Golf Club</a></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eisenhower_Trophy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Eisenhower Trophy - Wiki</a></p><p><a href="https://en.
