Heritage, Hospitality, and Hitting the Green with Kris Kennedy

In this episode Melanie talks to Kris Kennedy, Secretary at Consett District Golf Club, who gives us a fascinating insight into his vital role at the club, its rich heritage, and the stunning grounds, which he affectionately refers to as the "beautiful fairways." We explore what makes this club a true local fixture, from its delicious food and drink offerings at the clubhouse/café, aptly named The View, to their exciting new cutting-edge facility, the Blast Furnase swing room—a clever nod to Consett's industrial steelwork history. Join us as Kris shares the drive and dedication behind this fantastic local institution.
