CAN YOU HELP @TomB1692? Head Greenkeeper @StourbridgeGolf is looking for advice about the sustainability drive at Stourbridge. The aim is to get it back to its natural heathland landscape. As a priority, Tom is looking to restore heather on the course. Do you have some advice? The full sustainability story is coming in the March issue of Pitchcare š #Pitchcare #greenkeeping #sustainability #heather #Stourbridge #golf #golfing
