So fortunate with the weather this week for our greens maintenance after the recent rain ๐.
Off to a flyer with a deep 12mm tine, 10mm scarify creating a perfect seed channel for a Browntop overseed.....smoothed and closed over with a sarel roll @SouthwickParkGC ๐
Satisfaction of the highest order to get the 6th tee turfed today and finish this rebuild. Special mention @CharCol & @NelsonMilner for some top graft and perseverance during this project, toughing it out in some challenging conditions this winter ๐๐ @SouthwickParkGC
"These selfish protesters take up thousands of hours of police resource."
Home Secretary @SuellaBraverman on why the Public Order Bill is essential โฌ๏ธ
The establishment wants you to drink up the fantasy the Monarchy embodies the โbest of Britainโ. Itโs the opposite.
Itโs the enduring embodiment of the worst of Britain: inherited wealth + privilege, a rigid class system, structural racism, imperialism, and unaccountable power.
The first act of Liz Trussโ premiership should be taking immediate action to tackle the cost of living crisis that is pushing millions into poverty โ this must be a wealth tax and bringing energy companies, water, mail and rail into public ownership.
Monday morning reflection on a successful Club Champs weekend.
My team are just amazing, many of whom came in on their weekend off to help keep the surfaces in check.
Special mention @NelsonMilner who only started handcutting last week laying down some impressive lazers ๐๐
A simple sarel roll is a fundamental regular aeration approach but yesterday's pass was somewhat timely with an unexpected but welcome 7mm of rain ๐.
Great morning out hand cutting greens with the new @sportsmetals brush to start the weekend ๐
During this year's #USOpen trophy ceremony, the @USGA started a new tradition: Honoring the host site's agronomy team with the E.J. Marshall Platter.
Congratulations to Dave Johnson, director of grounds at The Country Club ๐
Can't compete with the actual, well-sourced journalists who have insight into what comes next, but was asked to write about LIV, and felt the best way would be to try to do as I'm often told: take away the politics.
The sport was shit.

The first tournament in the new Saudi-funded LIV Golf series is here. It's the most lucrative tournament in golf's history - and one of the most controversial. 8 mins on why. Produced Michael Cox and Mary Fuller.

McDowell pretty much explains sportswashing in 76 seconds.
Even throws in a "we're not politicians" while explaining how they're happy to be pawns in the politician's game.
It's about the money. Just say it's about the piles and piles of money.
