Taking advantage of this weather and Finally running the wiedenmann gxi8 with 8mm tines through the greens @ReddishValeGC 💪 absolute amazing finish and keeps our greens moving from strength to strength 👌🏻 @BalmersSales

[Aaron Watkinson @azzabazza86]

Stunning frosty start to the morning @ReddishValeGC @RVGCgreens after another 8mm of rain 🙈 aprils rain totalling 118mm with two official dry days 🤣 but this week is looking positive 💪

Reddish Vale - Probably the best designed course I've played. What Alister MacKenzie did with a pretty small bit of land is genius. The first 5 holes (across the road) are good but from the 6th onward the real fun begins. Quite difficult, quirky and, imo, magnificent. ★★★★★

[Aaron Watkinson @azzabazza86]

@heath_gc Looks absolutely amazing 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

The new/December @golfmonthly is out this week and includes my look back at an excellent trip this July to four terrific courses that are as varied as they are lovely

[Aaron Watkinson @azzabazza86]

@ReddishValeGC @RVGCgreens great investment over the last 18months allowing us to carry out the 1st fairway aeration in house of the season 💪💪 @WiedenmannUK @BalmersSales @meeksy66

[Aaron Watkinson @azzabazza86]

Stunning morning after another wet 24hrs. Greens hand cut, holes changed and all bunkers back in play. The 1st of many fairway vertidrains being carried out with our gxi8👌🏻 @WiedenmannUK @BalmersSales

[George Nock @GeorgeNock]

Starting to see the benefits of the 10th Lodge drainage. Not a chance we'd be cutting the green this morning, after all the rain this time 2 years ago! @EnvilleGolf

[Aaron Watkinson @azzabazza86]

@Hibs13Howie @ReddishValeGC @RVGCgreens Course open, we have a no closure policy 🙈 but the course has held up great considering everything!

[Aaron Watkinson @azzabazza86]

Taking positives from the river breaking its bank. Course looking 👌🏻 in this pic and actually looks aesthetically pleasing 🤣 greens have taken the amount of rain fantastic! @ReddishValeGC this weeks aeration showing it’s worth @RVGCgreens pumping will start next week 💪💪

@farnyranger @ReddishValeGC @RVGCgreens Thanks Bernard, I’m Very well just wishing for a dry winter like most 🙈

[Aaron Watkinson @azzabazza86]

Waiting for the right conditions is sometimes the hardest part. taking full advantage of this dry spell with the Greens receiving a deep verti-drain down to 200mm with 12mm tines. Help aid compaction and air through the profiles after such a wet year. @ReddishValeGC @RVGCgreens
