Three weeks after verti draining & working 100 tonnes of sand in with a bit of overseeding the fescue is really flourishing in the autumn sun 😎 cutting at 6 mm with rolling seems to be working nicely down @Lydd links golf club 🏌🏼♀️
@Buchall77@garvoca73@BPHTurf@Hillside_GC Yes could be something in the future, not something we worry about as after a few days of heat the fairways are like stone anyway
Best way to put the “still using fairway mowers” rumour to bed is to get rid of them. Both Jd 8000 gone, Fairway mowers to follow later this week. Over 12 months now since a fairway mower graced the fairways @Hillside_GC
@Buchall77@garvoca73@BPHTurf@Hillside_GC Can’t really see it as if you mow daily there’s literally nothing coming off. It’s mechanical PGR. And most of us have rakes and scarification tools at our disposal so we might have to use them more ? Lots of testing being done at the minute to bust the clippings arguments 👍🏻
@garvoca73@BPHTurf@Hillside_GC 5 years plus is the word on the street. No seen any trouble with batteries. Few bearings have been replaced and the only other problems have come from what we’ve done/not done during mapping

I am both astonished and appalled that a ‘golf course management’ company, receiving a substantial monthly fee, has been permitted to continue delivering such substandard greens surfaces.
Beautiful morning at @StAnnesGC on Bull Island County Dublin. Thanks to Stephen Aylmer and his team. A fantastic course in great condition and setting.
Dryject season open and contact us if you require a quotation.
