CUSTOMER NOTICE - Golf Course
Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, the green keepers have put some temporary measures in place for anyone playing the golf course. We have turned the hole cups upside down so that when the ball goes in, it will sit at the top of the hole for you
#golf
Many greenkeepers out there are struggling with conditions , No one can help a foot of rain in a month , leaf fall and chemicals withdrawn from the market for worms , leather jackets and disease ,it's tough out there so please think before you lay into you GK

Today the golf course was very close to being closed BUT we kept it open as an option to people to play whilst warning them how wet it was and closing it for competition purposes , to then have people complain is a tad upsetting, we do out best to provide a service

A message to golfers everywhere from our
@greenkeeperdave
"Golfers this winter/spring has been unprecedented in how wet and dull it has been for a prolonged period , many many courses are suffering so please support your greenkeepers don't criticise them"

#greenkeeper
Just so people don't panic , this is the 17th green 24 hours later after being brushed in and watered , water on every night and a cut before the weekend should help the roll a little ,
Question- Do you , our followers like honest , real posts?

Apologies to everyone playing golf , unfortunately we are surrounded by trees which are all starting to shed their leaves , even when we clear them they are back in no time , the views you enjoy during the summer and the colours you love in the autumn means the odd lost ball
Thank you to the attendees of the very first Rose Hill Golf Club volunteer night , we got three greens top dressed in under two hours and everyone was helpful and showed how much they care about this lovely course , we should rename it the Lickey hills community golf course
Not looking too shabby or too bad for a public GC on the outskirts of the supposed concrete city of Birmingham , rain today is a welcome sight though ,

If you’re thinking that winter means you need to invest in ‘hedgehog’ wheels for your trolley, maybe invest in a pencil bag instead.
A lot easier to carry one of them and protect your course than it is to push a weight through soft ground 👍🏼⛳️
(Thanks to Worlebury Greenkeepers)
Doesn't seem right putting up pretty pictures of the golf course today , I know we have no associations with Leicester city football club but everyone's thoughts in sport today are with them at this awful time ...

We may not be the most fashionable golf course , some may smile and scoff at our little club house and no alcohol, some comment at the quirky layout but do you know we are open more than most courses and we have a tricky well groomed course although a little rough around the
Course has well and truly woken up , thank heavens it's been a stressful spring for the Greenkeepers , tee times available , everything cut , the only downside is grass needs strimming around the trees , that will be done ASAP

People ask why we take out Holly , as you can see from the first picture the Holly had completely taken over the oak tree , now the beauty of the oak tree is exposed as it should be .. we dont do it just for fun we do it to restore areas to natural beauty

It's that time of year , to get all year round drier Greens our slitting regime always starts around this time , the greens are cut immediately afterwards and hardly any difference in roll is experienced , this will take place weekly from now into the winter period
Looking down from the 17th green , you could be anywhere in the country but you are 9 miles from Birmingham city centre and apparently we are a concrete jungle 🤷 come up , cheap as chips in the afternoon 🍟

Today the greens have been sprayed with a wetting agent and a light fertiliser , the rain coming in should help kick the greens on a little , the wetting agent will help get more moisture into the soil , please be aware it has been one of the coldest driest April on record ,
