Realigning the front approaches and tees - 45 degrees is our desire

@stuDLFSeeds Leave fluffed - as one persons ‘compression’ could be different to another’s ‘compaction’

Vitally important to complete this exercise when mowing greens.

Knowing the volume of clippings collected helps to plan operations and inputs required to aid surface performance.

Didn’t get enough rain…??

It’s true - a few days of the nice weather and everyone’s spirit is lifted!!

However, a few localized dry areas and turf repairs require a little moisture to help aid recovery. This IBC is the ideal unit to water our Old Course during periods of need.

These are and they work perfect.

@DanielL03655461 Hi, We collect this data from 2 greens every mowing operation. The same greens each time

It’s allows us to determine when feed apps are needed depending on amount collected.

Our target, determined when the greens performed their best.

Collecting this data for a few years now

Our Old Course tees undergoing some preseason reshaping.

We have adjusted each tee, restoring the desired square tee design feature.

Great days training - having @tcsturfequip on site to discuss cutting units is a real eye opener

The team learnt so much in just 1 day

Plenty of adjustments made to help improve playing surfaces and machinery efficiency

[Adam Matthews @Adam_MGC]

Not going to see the team now until after Easter…

A small appreciation post for them…but in reality give them what everyone wants this time of year…chocolate!!

It is true…I couldn’t do it without them

Winter projects are almost all complete now…the team have done a great job in, at times the worst conditions possible.

We have been committed to improve our steps on various tees. A great improvement and a project to be proud of.

[Adam Matthews @Adam_MGC]

Fresh meat ready for Monday morning…as we continue spring maintenance.

This time The Cherington Course will be receiving deep solid tines and top dressing applications

[Adam Matthews @Adam_MGC]

Hard to believe - but the golfing season is just around the corner - today we commence our spring start up applications.

Firstly, The Cherington course having a @Sustane_NF 10.1.4 applied. Should help motivate the playing surfaces along

[Adam Matthews @Adam_MGC]
