Fantastic day @WestSurreyGolf yesterday for the third SE Region Golf Day of 2024. The course was immaculate and credit to @alec_macindoe and his team! It was incredibly hot and scoring was tough. Congratulations to Raju Midhun & Tyler Eve on their wins in the stableford & gross!
As he marks ten years as course manager at West Surrey GC, Alec MacIndoe talks about how he earned the trust of the board and the wide-ranging advantages brought about by a successful bunker renovation project https://t.co/HHKxXjJlCz
@chrisjamped@MikeHarrisGolf@wallaseygolf@johnmac150 I totally agree with you Chris…. Very easy to comment on things when limited knowledge of what has gone before…. Of course you put all the building blocks in place, physically impossible to transform anything that is 100 years old without major investment……
@gregevansmg Experience, knowledge….. not just cutting grass….. of course there might be a place for robotic mowers in certain areas but we are trying to improve turf health and sustainability, not just mow grass and save time??? You are listened to so I think what you say has an effect……
@gregevansmg Greg, I have the utmost respect for what you do (although certainly don’t always agree!) but suggesting Greenkeeper’s train and educate themselves so they can get to the heady heights of raking bunkers is not the most encouraging post. Turf maintenance and agronomy is about skill
@jmckenziej Hi Jim, thanks for that, got to do a fair bit on a couple of areas and deliberating on what to do….probably go sand and gravel as you say …. Like the idea of shockwave after too…..
Seeing dad next week as we going to Caledonian club for burns supper..
