Toro 1000’s fitted with new @sportsmetals brushes ready for tees. Verticutters set to -1mm for a vcut, cut and roll a few times this week working towards club champs. HOC down to 3.5mm from 4mm to refine the surface. Busy week ahead refining surfaces for the club champs

Thank you to @JKIrrigation for building our new 2” @HunterGolf_UK tee valve. A tee that’s suffered for so long can now start the road to recovery! Next issue that will be addressed will be the thatch layer to help moisture penetrate in to the profile keeping the surface healthy

The difference a couple dry cuts make throughout the course 👌🏼

[Redlibbets Greenstaff @RedlibbetsC]

Had the awesome guys from @Reelsharpltd in yesterday doing 2 sets of triple units and our @baronessuk LM2700 fairway mower. Very professional and the difference with quality of cut in fairways is massive 👌🏼

New flags, flag and cup going out on the course! Little touches like this make the course stand out so well 👌🏼 @GetGolfingCM

End result 🤙🏼

Tees getting some much needed maintenance work done to them. A double verticut at -4mm. Plenty of dead material and lateral growth removed! Followed by a blow and hand mow and the difference is night and day! Go again in a couple weeks then get some sand on them

@NparisCM Course is looking great mate

[Redlibbets Greenstaff @RedlibbetsC]

All greens have been ninja tined. Greens were verticut -3mm with our worse greens being done in 2 directions. Fairways and semi rough is being cut along with the topdressed being set up for tomorrow morning to apply 10Tonne of dressing.

Now the Euros have finished I’m looking to help a local club in the north Essex area with pitch maintenance. I’m a Wembley matchday groundsman & greenkeeper. If any club step 6 upwards would like extra pare of hand please get in touch RTs appreciated @EssexCountyFA @EssexSenior

[Redlibbets Greenstaff @RedlibbetsC]

All the green staff pulled in to greens maintenance, after having 30mm rain since sun night seed heads have gone mad! Verticut, blow, cut and spray. Foliar feed with PGR to keep plant strong whilst currently having damp humid days.

[Redlibbets Greenstaff @RedlibbetsC]

Come in to the course to find 24mm over night. One of the worst greens on the course now drains well with the aeration, coring and topdressing that we have done from September last year to now. Shows we’re moving in the right direction!

Fantastic effort from the greenkeeping team @KnoleParkGC the course is looking great. Good luck to all the golfers playing in the Captains Weekend today and tomorrow I hope you enjoy the course. #greenkeeping #kentgolf #golf

Back in September the CM and deputy CM put a plan together to improve root mass and reduce organic matter. Had 2 inch roots with black layer. Progress being made through strategic liquid feeds, moisture management, improving cultural practices, keeping them lean has worked great!

@c86low We used 70 tines. We have clay flint collars and was only just going off the green.

[Redlibbets Greenstaff @RedlibbetsC]

Great week by the team carrying out greens maintenance. Very impressed with the ninja tines. Total of 11hours to do 20greens. Verticutters ready to go on Monday with a double V-Cut and a 10t topdress. Have a good weekend everyone. #getgolfing

[Redlibbets Greenstaff @RedlibbetsC]

@hall_sayer Looks beautiful 👏🏼

[Redlibbets Greenstaff @RedlibbetsC]

4am start this morning to make a final push to get the remaining greens ninja tined, blown and cut. Total of 11hours for this task to be carried out. Verticutters will be setup slightly deeper than usual hitting the organic matter, then vertidrained and topdressed next week.
