Following on from my last tweet, just 9 days after a 3mm slit and overseed with Barenbrug UK brown top bent we've had some great results. Weather has been perfect for germination. Should keep the members happy after being on temp greens. @AdvanceGrass Chipping Sodbury Golf Club Barenbrug UK


Massive thanks to James Kimmings and Pitchcare for the opportunity to showcase my passion and what I'm trying to achieve.
