Welcome Back! Really excited to share this week's episode with Mike O'Keeffe. Mike runs The Ohio Programme, which is a programme that assists in the professional development of young green-keepers from all over the world, by placing them at some of the world's best courses. Mike talked at great length about many of the kiwis that he has had through the programme, and what he thinks makes New Zealanders such great recruits. I would like to thank Mike for his time and a link to the programme can be found below. https://www.nzgcsa.org.nz/new-page-2
