Mat Goggin is probably better known outside Australia as a tour pro who retained cards both in the USA and Europe. However, over the past 35 years he has held a burning ambition to develop a golf course some 10 minutes drive from Hobart airport in Tasmania.
In this episode we take a deep dive into his early influences, tall poppies, gun golfers, influences, red tape and the end of a perfect rainbow.
We are tremendously excited to welcome Mat to the pod and to explore a road less travelled with him.
