My OH is currently a Head Greenkeeper/Course Manager (Golf course Superintendant in Oz) on a Golf course in the north of England. Are ther many golf courses around the Melbourne area and does anyone know whether any particular trade qualifications are required?
I know that there are not that many who work in that industry, but he would really love to keep the same career as he loves his job, so if anyone can give us some info, it would be great.

Cheers
Michelle

Hi Michelle,

I'm unsure about the trades/skills part, but i'd recommend you download Google Earth and have a look at Melbourne - there are dozens of golf courses.

Regards,

Zach

My club - Bowral Golf Club - has lost its head greenkeeper and was looking for a replacement. But I think the board may have decided to split the job between a couple of the present staff. Interested?

Very tempting, unfortunately I need to finish my nurse training before we go anywhere - will they hold it open for a couple more years?

Cheers

I will ask! At present I believe we've decided to stay with the split responsibility but that may have to change.

Of course he loves his job! He' got the best job in the world

If you follow this link on Goggle Maps, it lists most of the Golf Courses n Melbourne.

Are you in the same line Chris -or just golf mad?

Woohoo! my quote worked right this time

Afraid not, train driver, but I always loved the idea of being a green keeper or working on a golf course!

Used to play a lot of golf before we had kids but now that time is spent enjoying their company
