Callum Hitching is the current superintendent of Karratha Golf Club located about 1500km north of Perth in WA and is a very unique and isolated regional centre of Australia. The golf course at Karratha is a local public community asset that not so long ago was upgraded from sand putting greens to grass greens which Callum was heavily involved with. The course also went through a redesign at the same time.
Prior to his current position, Callum leaned his trade at Busselton Golf Club. After completing his time at Busselton, Callum was soon taking the controls leading the team at Busselton as superintendent where he was able to improve the course over a number of years. After a short stint away from the industry and back again, plans were being setup to redesign Karratha GC and Callum's name was being put forward as the man to take Karratha to the next level.
Load up and get set for a trip to somewhere few people ever venture to in real life as Callum takes us through his career and what it's like looking after a unique Australian golf course in a magical and remote part of the country!
You hit 'em clean and we'll keep 'em green!
