Episode 3: Mat Goggin - The Story of 7 Mile Beach, Hobart, Tasmania
Mat Goggin joins us from Charlotte, NC to discuss how he turned a childhood dream of a golf course on a spit of land 10 minutes from Hobart Airport into a reality. The CDP team are assiduously roughing in golf holes as we speak as the bones of a potential world class golf course emerges from a sandy canvas that appears to be perfect for golf.

Show Notes
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.
