With all this wet weather today it's a good time to show some sand slit photos from @mgc_greens last week. Targeted sand slits are a quick and effective way of getting firmness back into turf, whether it be catchment lines or well placed secondary slits. #linkageisthekey
ForthRoots FR2 trencher working at 7" depth X 3/4" width. Sand slits connecting into primary drain with just under 2 tonne of dry sand added to this area. Light footprint and quick results. #linkageisthekey@mgc_greens
Richard from Akro Multi Hire with @AndrewdJD123 after delivering their new @Gkb sand filler SF120.
This machine removes excess organic matter on fine sports turf surfaces in the same pass, adding kiln dried sand providing a firmer free draining surface.
@AkroMultihire
Unfortunately accidents do happen!
How to fix them is the most important thing. Thanks to @archiedunn12 for the great photos of how to practically fix an issue that most of us have faced at one time. ForthRoots MultiTool quickly becoming the 'go-to' tool for attention to detail.
Secondary drainage being installed @AuchterarderGC. With the British summers showing a wet trend again additional drainage in key areas is essential. Good to catch up with @archiedunn12 and the team

Game Day !
Looking forward to the start of Scottish Premiership football again.
2 Friendlies on the pitch since work was carried out and plenty of rain to test out the FR1 sandslits. Pitch is looking great. Well done Billy in these testing times 👏
A lot has happened since the 17th March! But it was good to see @ForfarGolfClub 6th green performing and looking so well.
Sustainable drainage techniques used to keep the shapes Old Tom Morris and James Braid desired. Case studies to follow.

Just over two weeks since I finished at Tannadice. Good example of targeted use of our MultiTool on the sand slits to create seed pots. A little overlay on top of those drain lines next week from Billy and we will be right on track to full recovery. #linkageisthekey
Final preparations underway @dunbargolfclub for the return of members tomorrow. @forthroots_ “holeout” device in play . No need to touch the pin, simply lift up with putter.
Forthroots HoleOut.
Fits both Javelin pins and Standard pins, allowing golfers to retrieve their ball without touching the pin. Hopefully a safe return to golf isn't too far away. Further details on our website https://t.co/Forvvs9CW0
Thanks to Richard and the team @AkroMultihire for their assistance with the pitch works at beechwood this week! If you need any tool or plant hire give them a shout!
Installing main drains in low areas at Forfar golf club. Utilising water storage crates which allows the water to percolate into a permeable seam. Secondary sand slitting to follow.
@forthroots_ utilising our kanga kid trencher for installation of main drains in the low lying areas at Forfar GC. Nice, clean job and course looks stunning too 👍
