Not happy this morning Changing holes and found this… ❌ is where the old hole was and all the circles are pitch marks that haven’t been repaired…. This isn’t ok… the greens are soft as we all know and it’s just a lack of respect @Abridgegolfclub @abridgegreens

Super demo by @stevieAmazone from @AmazoneLtd today @RLGCHoylake. The scarifying blades ripping out rank grasses and moss. Really trying to thin out the roughs over the coming years especially after a wet late summer / autumn. Be great if Santa came down my chimney with one.

Instead of pushing for a higher green speeds, courses and golfers should want the 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 speed for the architecture and skill level of the players.

Presentation of bunkers and their surroundings can be time-consuming ⏳ Could hand-mowing, weeding and edging be done less frequently to free up more of your time and provide a more natural look and feel? More 👉 bit.ly/3fRtCxc #ForSustainableGolf

It's #RepairYourPitchmarkday today. Here is our gentle reminder to golfers everywhere, a pitchmark repaired within 5 minutes can be completely recovered within 24 hours. 👍🏻 A pitchmark left for 10 minutes or longer can take 15 days to recover. 😢 #golf #golfer #golfcourse

Golfers may say they want faster greens, but they don’t always know about all the potential downsides of that request. Be careful what you wish for when it comes to green speed ➡️bit.ly/3HB1lbk

Shifting winter temperatures bring the risk of serious course damage if the surface thaws and soil is frozen below. Footsteps or cart traffic can cause soil to slide, damaging grass roots. Watch this short video to learn more 👇
