Episode Fifty Seven - Save Moore Park GC's Jared Kendler, plus latest Metro/Huntingdale news

Australian Golf Passport

Hot on the heels of the release of a plan by the Save Moore Park Golf Course alliance to keep the course at 18 holes, we chat with the driving force behind that alliance, Jared Kendler.

Jared talks us through the issues and the plan that the golf community is hoping will be embraced by the NSW Government, which owns the site.

His group has proposed a sophisticated, thorough, sensible and economically sustainable proposal to manage the issue of recreational space and the existing golf course in central Sydney.

Go support this group's push to retain 18 holes and realise a proper solution to the issues raised for the broader public space in Moore Park. Visit the website below and sign the petition:

Prior to chatting with Jared about Moore Park and the broader issue of public golf, Matt & Scott chat about a range of topics. Not least of which is a little member unrest at Metropolitan, regarding proposed changes to their 16th hole.
