We’ve been training up the new recruits on various machines this week. The rain has set us back another step but we push on. I ran the Leeds half marathon on Sunday. Not a bad time for an old boy

The 8th hole is now completely finished. Green dropped, reshaped and rebuilt to full USGA spec with a new bunker installed. Tee extended, drained and laser levelled. Let it grow Shipley Golf Club

4 days on from renovations and a single mow, greens are recovering lovely. 15mm scarify, dress and TX Humus feed. All fairways have also been scarified and we managed to get a good shot of Woody the Woodpecker. Looks like summer has finally arrived Shipley Golf Club

I’ve never experienced a month with such little clipvol. GP has averaged 0.42 with no app of PGR. We’re not far off finding the “Goldilocks zone” with N input, performance and consistency. 6mm total irrigation for the year. Greens stimping at 11.8 and we’re mowing at 4mm 👌🏼

The remodelled 8th hole will be open for captains day tomorrow. It’s still a little early to keep it open permanently but it’ll give us a good indication of how the surface will react with traffic.

Busy week. Greens have come back to us after a couple of weeks with disease. Ben Morgan has been in to test some metrics. The 8th hole is open for good and we’ve finally been able to identify the noisy bird on the hole, Woodpecker #2

The UK is experiencing its driest spring since the Second World War – and the impact is unsurprisingly being felt at every single golf course. In our latest blog, CEO Jim Croxton advises that golf clubs engage in professional dialogue with their Course Manager, set agreed

It’s been a long, lonely and extremely dark 6 months. At the start of November, the greens were ravaged with Fuzz after two weeks with no sunlight. It’s taken a lot of work but we’re somewhere near to where we’d like to be. I won’t easily forget this period but we push on 💪🏼

Great recovery 4 days on from renovations. Green speed and consistency is coming back after a cut and roll these last 2 days. Bathed in sun screen for the 30°c heat this afternoon 🥵

Greenkeeping water usage is being put in the spotlight. 👀💧 With tighter controls and extreme weather the new norm, greenkeepers need to be heard on future water policy. BIGGA is supporting "From Source to Course", a significant inquiry into GB&I course water sourcing and use.
