Charlie

☀️

Just to follow up on the last post. Wellingborough Golf Club thanks @_Charlie_Baker_ (back left in pic) for nearly 11 years of dedicated service - joined us as an apprentice & is a real loss to the Club 😢. Best of luck in Australia - you’ll be a great asset wherever you work 🇦🇺

Charlie is cutting his last fairway at WGC today as he leaves us to head to Australia where he will continue his greenkeeping career. From all the greens staff we wish him well. Goodbye and good luck ( BBB😉)

Big thanks to the greens team for turning the course out in championship condition for what will be four consecutive days (Glazerite 2 days + Club Champs 2 days). 👍👏👏👏

Good luck to everyone playing in Club Championships today. Greens cut & rolled, approaches cut, bunkers raked. Same tomorrow (Sunday). Please respect your fellow competitors - repair pitch marks & leave a bunker how you’d want to find it. Currently they all look like this!

Mow greens + Flag change ready for the George cup @WGCcourse

That’s Karma that for all the time wasting! Harvey Elliott outstanding & brilliant cameo again from Carvalho!! #LIVNEW

Greens cut and rolled, holes changed, approaches cut and bunkers raked all done ahead of a 9am shot gun start for the SDC charity day. Enjoy.

Busy few weeks, worse places to work though ☀️ @ Wellingborough Golf Club instagram.com/p/CgELl2CIWf8/…

To back up the statement of @WGCcourse of how far behind we are due to the weather I think these photos from 2 years ago do it justice. The grass/trees are a million miles away from this point

Localised, thatchy areas on fairways being raked today followed by a cut and blow. In the distance you can also see the pro core on the green. Double 6mm tines, will chip away at the greens this week. Chance of rain tomorrow 🤞,we will take anything!!

Greens seeding completed today. Crystal blue links 2g per m2 single pass but a double pass on 5,7,8,9,11,12,14. We can see these greens are behind the the others regarding bent population. Great time to seed with the poa very slow to get going.

Looks like 6-12 month delays on equipment doesn’t apply to #AugustaNational. JK. #Masters2022 #themasters #Masters22 #TheMasters22 #GolfCourseSuperintendent

Lovely morning again, perfect for a mow and a spray on the greens! @WGCcourse

Despite a late start seeding today we only 3 Greens left to do in the morning, 16, 17, 18.

Another nice morning after the fog lifted ☀️ out with hand mowers on the greens this morning! @WGCcourse

After a nice week off glad to be back at it, nice mow on the tees with a rotary in the sunshine.

Hedge RHS 2nd removed today. Some shaping, re seeding and planting still to do but looks much better already.

Frosty morning @WGCcourse

Orange sky in the morning … @ Wellingborough Golf Club instagram.com/p/CYjOvIoo0Wq/…

Great job by the greens team to turn out the course in tip-top condition despite in difficult circumstances #55mmofrain
