Probably better days to get 6 pallets of turf delivered 💦💦💦#moist

[simon_hogghouseflock @siwitham]

Nice to get some turf down today on our new 17th par 5 tee exceptional quality from @tillersturf #fescue #silecroftgolfclub

[simon_hogghouseflock @siwitham]

@Hillside_Greens @Hillside_GC Did they get sold privately or go to a dealer the jd 8000s? Thanks

[simon_hogghouseflock @siwitham]

@grnkeepergrant @McelhinneyKarl On same test plot could you knock fert inputs back 50% as well as no fungicides and see what outcomes are

[simon_hogghouseflock @siwitham]

@garvoca73 Heavy dose of iron, bit of primo and a good dew clear be my choice if you can’t put a fungicide down, is that a club policy or island regs on fungicide?

Golf and watering fun after weekend of showing her sheep, cant say im happy with the football top she’s chosen

[simon_hogghouseflock @siwitham]

@J_Merchant1 @GBRTechAmenity Probs best Gbr product quatrazone really impressed with it, worth trying tierraboost mixed with mu35 👍👌

[simon_hogghouseflock @siwitham]

@Leven_links What herbicide was used for the pearlwort?

[simon_hogghouseflock @siwitham]

Captains day, 28c not much breeze, greens running at 11 on stimp which has taken me by surprise, probs didn’t need the double cut and roll 😂

[simon_hogghouseflock @siwitham]

@MarkJost1 @JoeBarnes24 @FormbyGolfClub Thought same, sward quality 😲👌👌

[simon_hogghouseflock @siwitham]

Spray day, greens and aprons with some ammonia sulphate, Gbr tierraboost, seaweed, attraxor and some Gbr quadtrazone, just to add touch of colour and keep the red thread away, nitrogen inputs looking on target for around 55kg a hectare, #links #linksgolf #greenkeeping

@GreenNewenham @ScratchCups Such a pain bowsering, if you got a decent water supply/tank/pond and irrigation pipe work around the course try connecting the petrol pump into it to save having to use tractor, works a treat on our 2” main
