Mat Goggin joins us for episode 3 of The Firm & Fast Golf Podcast. Mr. Goggin is - a genteman, grandson to Gordon, son to Lindy, a former Australian Amateur Open Champion and touring pro, lover of dogs and horses and public access golf. When Mike Clayton first told Mat that he was involved in the Barnbougle Dunes project in Bridport, Tasmania, the now 7 Mile Beach course developer Goggin, wondered why Bridport and not Hobart. After an unsuccessful application to take the lease of a public access golf course, Goggin resolved to leave no stone unturned in furthering his dream to build a community focussed golf facility that would provide opportunities, inspiration and access to great golf. This is Mat's story..... I hope you enjoy. https://www.golfaustralia.com.au/news/clayton-devries-pont-to-design-tassie-beach-course-560139 https://www.golfcoursearchitecture.net/content/course-work-to-begin-on-incredible-seven-mile-beach-site-in-hobart https://www.golfcoursearchitecture.net/content/design-team-gathers-at-seven-mile-beach-for-course-construction Special Guest: Mat Goggin.
