Here’s a great photo I used for one of my assignments. This is the amount of footfall a 4 ball will do on 1 green. Going into winter understand why your greenstaff will protect the greens at all costs. Whether they’re frozen or wet, you can see how much wear they will have. 1/2

🚨🚨 Since part 1 did well with great interaction, here's part 2 of coring. I was very mislead with what I learned over the years with disturbance theory but thats ok because it gives me the opportunity to do "MY" own original take on it anyway 😎👌#greenkeepingwithjames

@JamesMatthewman Thanks mate, haven’t overseeded in those 20 yrs either, make the best of what we have. Seed and sand are expensive, know which one I prefer.

@PhilColl_ICL Thanks Phil and absolutely right. OM management is top priority. Sometimes there will be instances where coring is inevitable due to numerous circumstances but IF things are balanced then I see no need to do what the book says. Cheers mate 🍻

@Woolleyparkgolf Absolutely matey. I said previously times have moved on, people are out mowing surfaces in a hard frost to get rid of worm casts and end up with a lovely cut surface and no damage. Jim Arthur wouldn't be turning, he be spinning in his grave lol. Keep up the great work bud 👌💪

@JamesMatthewman I’m with you buddy, I found myself coring because it was the done thing. When I realised I was removing perfectly healthy soil and replacing with inert sand at a huge cost to the bank balance, staff morale and golfers experience I quickly packed it in! 😂

@JamesMatthewman Agree James, haven’t cored in over 20yrs, just heavy sanding and lots of holes, regular dressing etc. If Om levels increase, occasional scarifying.
