Turning 42years old this month and I’ll happily admit that I still get the same buzz (if not more) when hand cutting greens…..
Whether it be raking a bunker, blowing leaves or building tees + greens…….26 years later - Still love this job.

These pair greet me home every day with a smile 🥰
They may be beginning to outgrow my lap, yet will never outgrow my heart.
Making precious moments each and every day with my girls

12 months ago Some said the fairways would take years, IF EVER to come back. . I beg to differ.
Grass is an amazing thing. Trust your greenkeeper - They will do their very best with what they have 💪

27 years in the Golf Course industry…
14 yrs as a Head and wouldn’t change it for the world. Fortunate enough to have met some incredible people to date and most importantly made some great memories on and off the course.
Time flies. Make the most of it.
That’s a wrap for today.
Life begins at 40 right? Though I was complete when these pair were born. 💕
That said, it Won’t stop me enjoying a bottle tonight 😉 🍷
Happy lockdown birthday to me 🎉 🎈 🥳
After a warm welcome its great to begin working with
@DraytonParkGK
After a tough 2018 there are many items which need addressing with the main playing surfaces as a priority. Also Super to have Irrigation contractors begin phase 1 of our new system today. A Busy 2019 💪

Time ends for me here at Hollywood. This one picture encapsulates the club spirit.
I am Happy with the teams progress throughout over the years - I wish the club the best for the future.
Excited to begin my new chapter alongside

Frustrating / disappointing to hear uneducated expectations of what golf courses are going to look and play like once restrictions are lifted.
A quick scan around our course today.
No spiking, verticutting, ironing and top dressing which are all vital.
That’s just on greens
Great to join
@AngusMacleod9
and his crew for the British Masters.
Biggest compliment is that you wouldn’t guess that we have had one of the toughest Spring periods for a long time 👏🏻
Such a well oiled crew with the course in great shape 👌
I am a big believer that communication is key to a healthy relationship with your employer and clients.... In any industry.
Here is my course report recently sent out to the membership.
It’s good to talk.

Double cut on the greens on the agenda where i had ‘The Pleasure’ of 3/6 being included my route. 🤪 🏃♂️
The course is in super shape - Huge Credit to the team.
Maximising the windy day with a brush cut on the fairways post iron app. Flexi-brush and snake working lovely together
Be great to see some of the lads back next week 🙌
Is it me or is twitter becoming full of negativity and the pure entertainment of people’s agony goes further than any amount of joy, praise or positivity ?
I’ll stick to grass.
Nice view back down our 3rd this afternoon 👍

To say the Lads got it done without a decent water supply doesn’t cut it.
Amazing work by the crew over the last week or so…. 👏🏻👏🏻
Unsociable hours, having to work around numerous issues with very little room for movement = A Well deserved brekkie as a thank you.
2022 goals remain the same as 2021…
• Do the best we can with what we have
One last push for 2021 this morning by the lads…. A big Thank you to my team, The Board and all Turf suppliers for their support over the past 12mths.
Greenkeeping cannot be done in isolation 💪🥂
3 of our worst fairways addressed.
Thanks to
@BunkerMat_com
@SheltonDrainage
and
@PlastechWigan
for their support on this project.
Great work by the team. 1300m Smashed out in under 3 days with the cultivation to follow prior to Spring - Onto the next.
Such a productive week from the team. So much knocked out to a nice finish.
Thank you Mother Nature - Your not all bad. I may even get you a card for Sunday! 💐
Thank you to
@BIGGALtd
and
@CampeyTurfCare

Social Media has given me great pleasure to see activity at other courses plus so many new friends. It’s a great industry!

Decent day by the team. Never ideal pulling drainage in fairways in December... but needs must on those wetter ones if they are ever going to improve.

Surfaces good after a mow this morning.
Though it’s not all gravy….
Spots of disease trying it’s hardest on a few plus plenty of seed heads on a green perimeters.
2/2
Many teams are down 70% of their workforce. So if you think not changing holes or bunkers evens it out. I’m sorry, it does not.
Well done to all working their socks off to maintain what they can
