Great to get the mowers out today @CorhamptonGolf without worm Cast smearing

Busy day @CorhamptonGolf air2g2 on greens and a demo with robotic mowers all new technology that’s very interesting

Still snow laying after freezing conditions over night and early hour’s on the South Downs which is making the course unplayable in areas. @CorhamptonGolf

Loving the recent November drought conditions @CorhamptonGolf course holding up well for Autumn plus the leaves are dropping fast even the oak leaves have started to lose there green tinge

Tree surgeons in this week too take out ash trees with ash die back and to reduce a beech tree that is heavily effect with bracket fungi. The beech may regenerate by being reduced or it will make a great habitat tree. @CorhamptonGolf #ecology

Another 12 hours of heavy rainfall on the South Downs. On a positive greens being rolled, aprons, collars and tees having a trim, white lines being painted & a full rake. 🙏 for some drier conditions

Course holding up well in this challenging conditions. Feeling blessed to be on dry soils @CorhamptonGolf got to love downland golf

A lot of golf courses are doing renovations this fall. Here's what golfers can expect during and after the project 👇

Thursday - 16th Fairway, view looking back from the green! Bit Special! ⛳️☀️

It’s been an unusual month with heavy rainfall with 50mm falling over 2 days at the beginning of the month and at the end of the month heavy downpours over 3 days. @CorhamptonGolf holding up well tho. This weather does now feel the norm :( #extremes

@grnkeepergrant Wow quite a difference. What fungicides have you been using ?

Interesting to compare our none fungicide test area on the chipping with the rest of the green. Dollar spot seems to be the disease of choice this year!! The products may be weaker but they still offer protection 😅

@NickCreal @itvcycling G 100% absolute legend

@itvcycling When Wiggins repaid cav by leading him out in 2012 and 2018 when g won

Epic sunrise on the South Downs today @CorhamptonGolf

I could never get bored of the sunrises @CorhamptonGolf. I have seen alot over the years !!!!!

@davidflatman It would be interesting to know the % of parents who can not afford the vat?I do know of people who will not be able to continue to send there children to private school.What negative effect will that have on state schools!

VAT on private school fees: Is there anyone whose kids go to private school who welcome the idea? Is there anyone whose kids don’t, who think it’s a bad idea? So far I’ve only met “it’s a joke” paying parents and “quite right too” non-payers. Peaceful answers only please.

Golf courses always look nicer when the sun is shining 😎 @CorhamptonGolf

Wonderful day on the South Downs @CorhamptonGolf 😎

That was a very busy morning.never known rain like it 23mm in one hour. But all bunkers fully raked & wash outs fixed, with greens,collars & aprons cut topped off with a light dressing on greens & aprons and then brushed In all in time for the rain later today !!!@CorhamptonGolf

@GJRobertsTurf @GolfGeek6 @USGA Is the software and product now available in the U.K. ? Are you aiming on using it at hayling ?

@iestyncarpenter @GolfGeek6 @USGA Yes, so when they roll the ball using the stimp meter that will provide you with speed, trueness and smoothness. There is another tool that you put the ball into and drop with a frame to get a firmness reading.

Any feedback on the @USGA GS3 smart ball?

@GJRobertsTurf @GolfGeek6 @USGA Hi G, so the data collected is it for smoothness, pace & firmness? I am very interested in this concept

@GolfGeek6 @USGA Had a demo of one today during 1st round setup this morning. Really impressive. You need to purchase the ball and then a subscription to the Deacon software. Really impressive tech.
