“Golf course superintendents are the most important entity that we have in golf. The conditions and the golf course’s beauty, the environment, the wetlands, everything depends on their perseverance and their knowledge and the work they do to maintain the golf courses.” -A. Palmer
So it’s that time of year when we see most clubs hold their AGM’s .... the moment Geoff the Butcher can finally tell the 35year experienced greenkeeper what’s wrong with the course and how he will fix it!!
Congratulations to our 5-star Food & Beverage team led by Kate Wiseman. Their high standards have been rewarded with a Level 5 Food Hygiene Rating, the highest available 👏👏👏
Good time to promote our Sunday Carveries! We’re taking bookings for March 5 and 26.

Great first trip to @EatonGolf installing two greens with #hydrowick thanks to @RobRansome1 and crew for the warm welcome and great work on outfall trenches.
Busy morning for our green keeping team, preparing for next week’s important drainage work on the 13th and 16th greens ⛳️

We’re making our great course even better with our new Ventrac 4520. It improves the way we manicure the course & cuts the time to fertilise our fairways by 4️⃣days. Win! win! Come and see us for the Eaton experience @ventrac@RobRansome1@BIGGALtd@nlcga@NCGU1908#tractor#golf
With temperatures likely to be near 30C for the next week I feel that golfers could play their part to help protect green collars and surrounds from damage by keeping trolleys further away from the green edges @GolfMonthly@BIGGALtd@GCMAUK@TheTodaysGolfer
@RichardBrown93@GerminalAmenity we receive so many positive comments from our members and they fit brilliantly around the course. Thank you for advice in our selection of seed mixes. 👍
Wildflowers on the golf course, members love it, bees & pollinators love it. We often see a better take with WF mixtures on golf courses than in the landscape sector. GK’ appreciate that time taken to create a good seedbed equals results. As with all sowings, effort is rewarded.
Far too many job vacancies in greenkeeping at the minute. It’s time this industry needs to be recognised as a profession or in 10 years time it will be in serious trouble. #absolutefact
In today's edition of "You couldn't make it up!"
While dessing out greens damage, A golf ball hit from about 150yds away, landed in Steve's shovel as he was holding it, exactly as in the picture.
Whilst truly unbelievable, no shout of 'Fore!'
