Episode Notes
This segment of Aussie Golf History is about a recent discovery I made of a lost 18 hole golf course that was originally designed by Vern Morcom and started construction in the suburb of Applecross in Perth, Western Australia.
Famous as an amazing greenkeeper and golf course architect of Melbourne and Victoria, why did Vern design a new golf course in Perth? Why haven't we ever heard of this golf course before? And what happened to the golf course? All of your questions will be answered in this interesting short version of Aussie Golf History.
You hit 'em clean and we'll keep 'em green!
