Casey Bierer, ( former Golf Channel reporter), and his brother Don make up the new management team at Wentworth Hills GC.

Wentworth is being operated as a daily fee course so if you've not played there before, now is the time to join the group of golfers who have already experienced this absolutly fantastic faciltiy since it reopened in May of this year.

After listening to this Podcast and check out Wentworth Hills GC you'll understand why I am so excited about it being open to the public!
