Brian Palmer leads the very small team of just 3 who maintain the 50 hectare site of the most southern 18 hole golf course in Australia - North West Bay Golf Club.
Through this fantastic, grounded conversation, Brad imparts some wonderful insight into golf in Tasmania along with telling us his career journey from Kingston Beach Golf Club through Llanherne GC and now to North West Bay GC. Born and bred locally in the Hobart region, Brad bounced through a few industries before searching for the industry that would see him stay to make a career out of. And that was greenkeeping!
Join us as Brad takes us on a deep dive into Tasmanian and Hobartian golf, along with a detailed account of the magnificent Poa greens and blended Fescue and cool season grass fairways that adorn North West Bay Golf Club whilst it lies in wait for you to come and visit for a round!
You hit 'em clean and we'll keep 'em green!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
