Golf Club Talk UK Tim Lobb, Lobb & Partners - The Greenprint Episode 4
In this episode, Leighton is joined by renowned golf course architect Tim Lobb, founder of Lobb & Partners. The conversation charts Tim's journey from his early days in Melbourne through pivotal roles at European Golf Design and Thompson, Perrett and Lobb, culminating in the launch of his own practice. Along the way, Tim shares how each phase of his career has informed his philosophy of working with the land, rather than imposing upon it.
We explore Lobb & Partners' international portfolio, with projects stretching from British Columbia to India, and delve into the nuances of designing for such diverse environments. A spotlight is also placed on their current work at West Hill, located in the historic Surrey Heathlands, where Leighton recently paid a visit.
The conversation also touches on Tim's pioneering efforts in emerging golf markets like Turkey and Egypt, and the promising future of India as the next major frontier in golf course development.
This is an insightful discussion with one of golf architecture's most respected figures.
