Apologies not posted for a while, so will update you. Alongside routine course maintenance the team have been busy with a few projects. 5th tee path revamp using Rite-Pave reinforcement system to stabilise the surface.

Our dedicated team of greenkeepers is hard at work gravel banding the 4th & 5th fairways, tackling the challenges brought by recent wet weather head on 💪 improving drainage means better playing conditions for you, rain or shine 🏌️♂️⛳️

Demo of a GPS robotic mower. Trying it on fairways, definitely wouldn’t get a conventional fairway mower out in current ground conditions…. Food for thought 💭 💭 – at Whitnash, England

These ditches, approximately 600mm deep, normally are dry or in wet conditions carry a trickle of water in them! It’s extremely wet out there! – at Whitnash, England

Excellent results from phase 1 of drainage project. Outlet’s running well from the primary drainage installed last week! This will be hugely increased when the secondary drainage is added with the gravel bander at 1 meter spacing across the whole fairway areas 👌🏻
Busy couple of days installing primary drainage to the worst areas of the course prior to secondary drainage with our 3 tonne gravel bander. Big thanks to John and Paul from shelton drainage for their help and expertise in far from ideal conditions we got the job done 👍🏻 – at Leamington Spa, England
