Drought restrictions: Check with your water supplier and prepare for disruption
With drought conditions now affecting large parts of England and Wales, golf clubs are being urged to check the latest guidance from their water supplier and review their contingency plans.
Restrictions vary between water companies, meaning what applies to one club may not apply to another.
Key things to remember:
Temporary Use Bans (TUBs) apply to mains water only
Clubs using boreholes, lakes or reservoirs may still face separate Environment Agency restrictions
Review your irrigation priorities and communication plans now, rather than waiting for further restrictions
BIGGA CEO Jim Croxton said: "The most important step for every club is to establish exactly what applies in their area because the rules are not consistent from one water company to another."

Very sad to hear but unfortunately unless “some” clubs change their business models this will continue to happen …

We really dig are our holes with golfers. 🤦🏼♂️
Complain about how wet it is. Now complain about how dry it is. Here’s an idea, Heads, GM, GCMA & BIGGA start educating golfers that the weather affects so much of how a golf club operates. Show golfers the information!

It’s been a seriously dry spring & I luckily get to see first-hand how hard greenkeepers are working to keep courses going.
This BIGGA article explains why member understanding is vital. Let’s back our brilliant greenkeepers – they need our support now more than ever! 💚
The UK is experiencing its driest spring since the Second World War – and the impact is unsurprisingly being felt at every single golf course.
In our latest blog, CEO @JimCroxton advises that golf clubs engage in professional dialogue with their Course Manager, set agreed objectives and show open support for their team of greenkeepers.

UK Golf Club membership fees can’t be affordable for everyone,they just can’t
Some people need to understand that,and unfortunately like most things what you pay will reflect what you actually get !!!

Great bunch of club managers from across the country. Super engaged and passionate about learning and understanding the intricacies of turf management. The goal- to be better equipped to support course managers and assist them in delivering their objectives! #teamwork #support
