Great to host @ICL_Turf & @SyngentaTurfUK on their recent Education Day. Sean also led a course walk showing the preparation underway for @TheOpen in 2026. #royalbirkdale
Over 40 greenkeepers recently gathered at Royal Birkdale Golf Club for an ICL and @SyngentaTurfUK Education Day. Undoubtedly, the highlight of the event was a course walk led by Sean McLean, showcasing The Open preparations. Attendees also gained valuable knowledge on CRFs, Dollar spot management, and Turf Rewards. #turfandlandscape Full story: bit.ly/BirkdaleICLSYN

One of the largest undertakings of phase 1 was the redesign of the 5th. Often regarded as the weakest hole on the course, it now poses a different challenge. 327y from the champ tees to a well-guarded green, how many pros will take it on during @TheOpen in 2026? #royalbirkdale

The 18th Hole – A formidable par 5 to conclude (Par 4 from the Championship Tees). This lengthy challenge leads back to one of the most iconic views in golf, the Royal Birkdale Clubhouse. Securing a birdie here can make that post-round drink taste all the sweeter #royalbirkdale

All the major works have been completed in phase one, and with the warmer weather, the newly seeded areas are beginning to mature #royalbirkdale #golf #golfcourse
