Here’s a great photo I used for one of my assignments. This is the amount of footfall a 4 ball will do on 1 green. Going into winter understand why your greenstaff will protect the greens at all costs. Whether they’re frozen or wet, you can see how much wear they will have. 1/2

3 years of creating #turfcare content for @Pitchcare. Wow. Ironically, having the day off and will be enjoying the work greenkeepers do a little later.

Thanks for the help along the way. 😊

@CuthbertEddie Deffo mate. Coring is never a bad thing. Especially when you genuinely have suffering greens etc. Just I think methods and technology have moved on with the times 👍😎

[James Matthewman M.G.C 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @JamesMatthewman]

🚨🚨 Since part 1 did well with great interaction, here's part 2 of coring. I was very mislead with what I learned over the years with disturbance theory but thats ok because it gives me the opportunity to do "MY" own original take on it anyway 😎👌#greenkeepingwithjames

@haughnturf Cheers Callum. Well put 👏👌

@Radyrgreenkeep1 Amazing mate 🤩👏

[James Matthewman M.G.C 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @JamesMatthewman]

@PhilColl_ICL Thanks Phil and absolutely right. OM management is top priority. Sometimes there will be instances where coring is inevitable due to numerous circumstances but IF things are balanced then I see no need to do what the book says. Cheers mate 🍻

[James Matthewman M.G.C 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @JamesMatthewman]

@Woolleyparkgolf Absolutely matey. I said previously times have moved on, people are out mowing surfaces in a hard frost to get rid of worm casts and end up with a lovely cut surface and no damage. Jim Arthur wouldn't be turning, he be spinning in his grave lol. Keep up the great work bud 👌💪

[James Matthewman M.G.C 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @JamesMatthewman]

@Radyrgreenkeep1 Beautifully put mate 👌 and it's testament to the course and work you put in. Always hear never ending praise of the surfaces you guys produce there 💪😎
