@UDTurfguy Always had great results with a bag per ha in 600l water, would be interested to know different rates people use please?

@STRI_Ben The oldest machines in the sheds by far and the ones that cause me the least trouble, what does that say.

Handcutting this week - greens, tees, temps and surrounds. 20 year old Saxon mowers still going strong.

The freezing weather has provided some stunning landscapes across the course this week

@austinjames71 @NCG_com Leave it with us 😜

Work progressing nicely on 14, approach contoured and turf being put back down, bunker shape formed. Still lots to do!

[Finer Grass @SwingForm]

Productive first day of project season, excellent effort by the team again. This piece of work on our Par 3 14th involves dropping the front of the green, new contours for the approach and installing a revetted pot bunker. Early days but taking shape.

[Finer Grass @SwingForm]

Had some stunning Autumnal mornings at the course recently

[Finer Grass @SwingForm]

Atmospheric weather to fit the sombre mood at work this morning. RIP Your Majesty.

Day two of Whitby GC hosting @Scargolfweek course all set, greens cut and rolled, bunkers raked, tees cut...

[Finer Grass @SwingForm]

Course all set up for the ladies on day one of hosting @Scargolfweek, nice bit of rain overnight, good luck to all involved...

[Finer Grass @SwingForm]

Great effort by the team in preparation for the upcoming @Scargolfweek course shaping up nicely

[Finer Grass @SwingForm]

Just about full recovery from recent hollow coring, not a bad turnaround time considering the unbelievably dry weather. Fresh set of blades on today and normal cutting resumes @neprocore @Aitkens_turf @terralift

[Finer Grass @SwingForm]

A bit of mid season compaction relief. Huge thanks to Jack and Gordon for the hard graft, Benny at @neprocore and Jamie at @FGAdamsonandSon. Some @terralift Rocastem and Soilmax going down the holes in the morning for maximum impact, followed by 29t sand.

[North East Procore Services @neprocore]

Nice little jaunt down to @WhitbyGC_Greens today to hollow core 18 greens and two practice greens.
Course looks fab guys.
Thanks for having me.
See yous again in September.

Great performance from our chosen products through this latest heatwave. Irrigation actually been off a couple of nights with only spot spraying required. @terralift @Aitkens_turf @EastRidingLtd @Supaturf_Uk

[Finer Grass @SwingForm]

Tried an @Aitkens_turf product end of last week for some of our weaker tees and surrounds. Bit of help from son Archie washing it in Saturday evening. Looking forward to seeing the results. @Aitkens_MS

Last weeks app of SSD Blood, Hoof & Horn and Compost Tea holding our sand based greens steady through these high temps @EastRidingLtd @Supaturf_Uk

[Finer Grass @SwingForm]

Very proud of our team and how our greens have stood up to an incredibly dry, hot, windy week, with additional traffic from two very busy open days. Organic Nitrogen, Amino, Humic and Fulvic Acids, Compost Tea, Wetting Agent and Aeration providing strength and resilience 💪

[Finer Grass @SwingForm]

Greens standing up to the heat nicely today, helped along by last week's @terralift apps @Aitkens_MS @aitkens @nj_wild
