Episode Notes

Hello and Welcome Back! 

It was a pleasure to chat with Mike Cocking recently, who is a Director of golf architecture firm - OCM. OCM are behind the redevelopment of The Hills Golf Club near Arrowtown, which promises to be an amazing transformation of the existing layout. Mike spoke in depth on his thoughts of the existing layout, and some of the changes that they will look to make as work gets underway. On the back-end of the pod Mike gave his thoughts on many of his other projects with OCM and his thoughts on the golf courses he has played across NZ. 

We have a big announcement to make! We are thrilled to team up with Power Turf NZ who have signed on as our presenting sponsor.  Power Turf are New Zealand's leading supplier of Golf Carts and Turf Care, and we are very excited to elevate our content alongside them.
