Last week, we were proud to sponsor an experience week at @GantonGC, who partnered with @SRUC for the event.

A compact group of Greenkeepers from around the UK and Ireland stayed on site at Ganton for five days. Morning sessions were delivered by the Ganton team, focusing on key topics such as bunker construction, irrigation setup/installation, along with mower set-up. Afternoons comprised of industry-specific presentations and course walks.

Course manager @SpolverSimon has said initial feedback has been very positive from what was a very enjoyable and informative week 🌱🍄‍🟫📖📚🍂🦅👨‍🎓 @tomwood_turf
