Catching Up With Jeremy Turner – Golf Course Architect

09 Aug Catching Up With Jeremy Turner – Golf Course Architect

Posted at 09:26h in Uncategorized @en by

Jeremy Turner graciously sat down with me for an informal chat about how he got involved in the golf world and how it led him to work together with Tor Alfred Hov, the visionary of Lofoten Links when it was still just an idea on paper.

Tor Alfred was Frode Hov’s father, and after he passed away in 1993, Frode took the idea by the horns and ran with it.  Together with Arnold Nygård, Nils Kaltenborn and Lofoten Utvikling AS, both Jeremy and Frode brought the first 6-hole golf course to life in 1998.

25 years later, the vision has expanded to what is now not only the #1 golf course in Norway, it ranks as the #1 X Factor course in Europe (Golf World) and #4 in Continental Europe (top100golfcourses.com).

Enjoy watching Jeremy reminisce about the creation of the course and his thoughts on where the course is today, while the waves of the Norwegian Sea crash gently in the background.

Jeremy: “A golf course is dynamic; it’s never finished.  There’s always something new to be done. Something to upgraded, renewed, repaired or further developed..”

Interviewer: “Kind of like humans?”

09 Aug Hyggelig prat med Jeremy Turner – golfbanearkitekt

Posted at 09:26h in Uncategorized by

Jeremy Turner satte seg velvillig ned med meg for en uformell prat om hvordan han engasjerte seg i golfverdenen og hvordan det førte til at han jobbet sammen med Tor Alfred Hov, visjonæren til Lofoten Links da det fortsatt bare var en idé på papiret.

Tor Alfred var faren til Frode Hov, og etter at han gikk bort i 1993 tok Frode ideen ved hornene og løp med. Sammen med Arnold Nygård, Nils Kaltenborn og Lofoten Utvikling AS vekket både Jeremy og Frode liv i den første 6-hulls golfbanen i 1998.

25 år senere har visjonen utvidet seg til det som nå ikke bare er #1 golfbanen i Norge, den rangerer som #1 X Factor banen i Europa (Golf World) og #4 i Kontinentaleuropa (top100golfcourses.com).

Nyt å se Jeremy mimre om banens tilblivelse og tankene hans om hvor banen er i dag, mens Norskehavets bølger slår forsiktig i bakgrunnen.

Jeremy: “En golfbane er dynamisk; den blir aldri ferdig. Det er alltid noe nytt å gjøre. Noe å oppgradere, fornye, reparere eller videreutvikle…”
