Two incredible days at @StonehamGC, learning from the vast experience and expertise of @BTEcology. So many valuable insights and ideas to take away that will enhance the course for years to come! #GolfEcology #SustainableGolf

It’s been four years of hard work to get to this point, and I couldn’t be prouder. Collaborating with the best in the business, tapping into the expertise of our members, and working alongside a fantastic team. Special thanks to our forward-thinking neighbour. Watch this space!

Exciting news from @StonehamGC ! We've kicked off another major project to build a 33,000m³ reservoir, fully self-funded. This EDI-designed reservoir will provide us with a sustainable water source for years to come, ensuring the future of our course & community. #Sustainability

@grnkeepergrant @oliejp1987 Ours is the similar but our main disease is Microdochium nivale. Does show they are still effective.

Big step back to our normal conditions on the course this week @StonehamGC following the maintenance weeks works. What a team we have 💪🏻 also big thanks to @Reelsharpltd and @DJScottGM for getting our kit sorted!

The same minus the PhD bit 🤣 Great band, even better guys! #TheGrandTour #TheDeads

[Matt Sleat @MattSleat]

Super proud of my best mates. Was in band with them, left to do PhD, they stayed at it for a bit. But now their music is on the last episode of The Grand Tour (about 6 mins in). Who made the best decision? Give it a listen, decide, then keep it to yourself https://t.co/f6PEb1zkQ7

Day 3 of Maintenance Week and the Graden work is in full flow. 2mm blade to a depth of -20mm. So far, 11 greens have been completed, with an additional sand top-up on the back 9. We've also started dressing the aprons. Great work by #TeamStoneham! #MoreSand #ThanksCraig

Day 2 of Course Maintenance: The back 9 is now fully completed with all coring and solid tine work successfully finished. We've filled plenty of holes with sand and broken compaction layers. Huge thanks to the team for their outstanding cleanup. Next up: deep scarification 💪🏻

[𝑀𝒶𝓉𝓉 𝒫𝓁𝑒𝓈𝓉𝑒𝒹 @plestee]

Maintenance week day 1 @StonehamGC . 11 greens tined with 16mm and 12mm solids and plenty of sand applied along with hollow coring , collected and debris blown on all the tees, aprons, fairways and surrounds on the front 9 holes. We go again tomorrow on the back 9! #TeamStoneham

Phone cameras just don’t do the colour of the heather flower this year justice. Simply stunning @StonehamGC 🌸
