Golfers, the single most important thing you can do in the winter to protect your course is to carry your clubs. Nice half set in a light weight bag will protect turf, spread the wear and make playing conditions better next spring. #letscarry

I know a lot of links courses are moving away from the revetted look to a more natural/original look, but on a sunny day the revett takes some beating 👌

Golfers, winter should be competitive but fun. Carrying a half set of clubs is fun and will reduce wear around the golf course. Please consider carrying for the winter. Your course will benefit next season for sure👌

Lots of teams have been doing spring renos over the last week, so that when the golfers do come back all the heavy work will be done. All weather dependent and many will ease off now with the wet weather coming 😭

Writing reports with winter in mind. Like previous years a personal plea to golfers across the land. Please carry your clubs during the winter months if you can. A half set in a lightweight bag will improve your shot making & benefit your course hugely during this period

Back to Trees😎 If golf courses can move their trees back from centre stage to back stage, turf health will improve dramatically and so too will the general health of trees and the way a golf course plays and feels 🤞

My yearly campaign of ‘golfers carrying clubs’ in the winter months starts a month late this year due to #lockdown2 😭 However, as many of you will be sorting out your clubs ready for winter golf think along the lines of: lightweight bag, half a set & playing with feel. 🏌️‍♂️

Over the last few years collars, approaches&run offs have got tighter&tighter in cutting height.This is Harpenden Commons that now sit @6mm cut with an old 11 bladed greens mower.Brings variety back into the game with options to chip, chip/run or putt.Creates great definition too

Writing lots of reports at the moment on the agronomics for clubs. Already I’m saying that clubs have aerated as much as 3 to 4 times in 2021 and applied high quantities of sand. This is certainly a once in a lifetime situation for the majority of teams 👍
