Can’t really get a better picture to prove the difference in disease susceptibility of Tour Leader Creeping Bent vs Poa. Literally like a lake containing forest fires. 👍 @GerminalAmenity #TourProGDE #007DSB

Chris, you must be seeing good germination at this point.
Still plenty of time to get some seed in.

Perfect conditions for seeding at this time and it looks like that opportunity is going to continue through the Autumn. All the best with it Chris.

I know well, the hard work Chris and his team have put in, and it's well deserved.
Planning followed by a consistent #ProActiveseeding approach leads to remarkable results. Sounds simple but takes passion and dedication.

Another great example of #proactiveseeding a concerted, consistent effort to outcompete Poa & manage favourable grasses = resilient greens. An inclusion of the correct species of creeping bentgrass such as #Tourpro gives an extra boost as UK summers get hotter. Adapt to survive!
“We’re now seeing stronger establishment, better visual quality, and smoother play.” Tim Hales, Course Manager, Toft GC. Resilience, playability, and sustainability have all improved after proactive seeding with Germinal ForeFront Greens. germinalamenity.com/toft-gc-… #greenkeeping

Excellent Establishment at West Midlands GC @wmgc from WF1 Flowering Meadow mix @GerminalAmenity if you can get irrigation to an area sowing wildflowers is still possible in dry conditions

Browntop OR Creeping Bent OR Browntop AND Creeping Bent. Two compatible species that don't need to be constantly compared. Each have different strengths. Use either or both. Heres the UK's favourite blend. germinalamenity.com/forefron…

Rutgers bentgrass breeding. Hundreds of selections are evaluated each year attempting to identify the very few that will make up the next generation. Looking for enhanced disease resistance, texture, density, spreading, traffic tolerance & more. Dr. Bonos and staff are special.

Meadows are starting to look tired this month. This is a normal & important part of their cycle. Soon their seeds will drop into the soil, & more wildflowers & beneficial grasses will grow in 2025 If you can, delay mowing until September #AugustSeedsFeedNextYearsBees #DontMowYet

Looking good so far considering the temperatures.
New Creeping/Browntop putting green @CheadleGolf showing signs of establishment after a few days. Temperatures still low so happy with progress. A roll and a light feed at the end of the week to protect and invigorate.
