21 days in the making and we're all set for the first game of the season tomorrow @Brixworth_CC

[Ashley Hammond @asherhammond]

Cracking morning to get some calcitic limestone down @coldashbygc. @turfcare1 @PlantFoodCo

[Ashley Hammond @asherhammond]

Spray day for the greens, 60L pHusion manganese and 10L ammonium thiosulphate 5L flo thru. Finally a chance to test the irrigation upgrade done in house. Beats pulling hoses in and out !! @TurfCare_IRL_UK @coldashbygc @PlantFoodCo

[Ashley Hammond @asherhammond]

Came in to another 15mm of rain saturday morning with the feeling of no hope to get on the greens to aerate anytime soon. Two dry days later we're out with the old girl at full depth. Long overdue after two months of terrible weather @coldashbygc

[Ashley Hammond @asherhammond]

Incredible !! why ask him to jump again with a start on the flat like that !!

CONSTITUTION HILL WINS ON FLAT DEBUT 🏆

A commanding win in the SBK Road To Cheltenham Novice Stakes under @oismurphy for Nicky Henderson & Michael Buckley 👏

Look at the wait for the second 🤯

[Ashley Hammond @asherhammond]

Christmas treat for the greens, getting some air down to them roots. What a machine, You just can't beat the 648 !

[Ashley Hammond @asherhammond]

Drainage added at the start of the year around the 13th green @coldashbygc is certainly doing its job !

[Ashley Hammond @asherhammond]

You cant beat a little bit of tree work @coldashbygc

[Ashley Hammond @asherhammond]

A day I never thought I'd see @coldashbygc 2 kilometres of pipe ploughed in, 82 sprinklers installed, 1 month after we started this in-house project we finally got to the stage where old meets new and we could test the system. No more pulling hoses out at at 2 am to water !

[Ashley Hammond @asherhammond]

One week after scarifying greens at -6mm and 20 tonne of topdressing @coldashbygc. A timely application of pro wet evolve and sea-x legacy the start of the week followed by a good drop of rain has certainly brought them back round quickly. @turfcarescott

[Ashley Hammond @asherhammond]

A drop of welcome rain today may just greens the place up again @coldashbygc

[Ashley Hammond @asherhammond]

Another warm dry week for the greens @coldashbygc. @PlantFoodCo @turfcarescott

[Ashley Hammond @asherhammond]

9 days on from seeding, we have signs of life @coldashbygc !

[Ashley Hammond @asherhammond]

Once again the boys smashed it @coldashbygc ! Cut, overseed, topdress, drag and roll. Always help when the weather plays ball

[Ashley Hammond @asherhammond]

Small team, massive pride ! A few weeks of no rain makes a huge difference early season. @coldashbygc

[Ashley Hammond @asherhammond]

@ODellBoy England's number 10 for a long time to come !

[Ashley Hammond @asherhammond]

@LukeWhitrow Unfortunately the course is closed tomorrow. There's a lot of standing water, making it unplayable and quite dangerous just walking around. There is an inspection Sunday morning, but I'm not expecting much improvement

Nice to finally get some turf down on the newly installed drain on 13, which has already improved the greens playability @coldashbygc

[Ashley Hammond @asherhammond]

Cracking effort by the team the past few days adding more drainage. Problem area in the past couple of winters, this will massively help the green and collar going forward. Just some turfing to finish of the job @coldashbygc #GOINGNOWHERE
