Horsforth Golf Club Greenkeepers

Great to have @cc_golfscapes in with us this week carrying out some drainage work on the 4th approach and green surround. We’ve installed 620m of drainage which should take make this area considerably drier during winter. @GolfLS18

Great progress by the team this week on the 12th and 14th bunkers. Final bits of turf going down on 14 today. Final tidy and edges to cut tomorrow. Sand to be installed next week ⛳️@GolfLS18 @BunkerMat_com @cc_golfscapes

Big thanks to @BunkerMat_com for lining the bunkers on 12th and 14th today. Great job as always. @cc_golfscapes @GolfLS18 the team now installing the revetted edge ⛳️☀️

Fantastic first week on the bunker project on the 12th hole. The shapes are in, drainage and shelves to go in next week. @cc_golfscapes @GolfLS18

Great to make a start on reshaping the bunkers on the 12th hole today. The weather is looking good this week too ⛳️ @GolfLS18 @cc_golfscapes

Great to see our newly installed drainage working a treat yesterday after the snow and heavy rain. These two greens would have been underwater and saturated for days. They are now two of the driest greens on the course. Great job by all involved. @GolfLS18 @cc_golfscapes

Fantastic effort by all involved 👏 big thanks to Martin and his team for carrying out such a neat and tidy job @GolfLS18

Yesterday was an incredibly tough day as we said goodbye to our Deputy Headgreenkeeper Cameron Dale . His passion, dedication and courage was what made him so special. Cameron will never be forgotten and his memory will live on forever. He will be greatly missed Fly High Cam💙

After yesterday’s torrential downpour our bunkers have performed exceptionally well. No standing water this morning, minimal wash downs and straight back into play today. Bunker Mat and China Clay proving to be a great investment @BunkerMat_com @GolfLS18

Productive day yesterday with the Air2G2 from @air2g2 @BA_LTD great service as always. Helping the greens breathe after a horrendously wet winter! Followed with our Procore and a hand mow. Greens looking resplendent in the sunshine ☀️ shame the rain has returned today @GolfLS18

A nice day yesterday getting some feed on the greens. Great colour throughout this winter. Some disease scaring which will grow out.Overall not looking bad for February apart from the rain! 🌧️☔️ Surrounds and tees getting a cut also this week. @GolfLS18

Work starting this morning on edging and adding bark round the bottom of the gorse bushes on the 4th. Little attention to detail jobs which make a big difference … 👀 more pictures to follow @GolfLS18

This time of year is great for staff training and development! This morning Chris has been showing Dan the best ways of changing holes in these wet conditions. Dan joined us last year and is experiencing his first winter. As a team we are always learning from each other @GolfLS18

With the wet weather this week we decided to tackle a long overdue project of the overgrown bushes behind the 16th green and 17th tee. 🌳 Cameron one of our Deputy Head Greenkeepers has lead and overseen this project this week and the team have done a great job so far! @GolfLS18

While the weather has once again turned wet we’ve been focusing our attention on an overgrown area by the 9th tee - clearing out deadwood and improving light and airflow around the tee complex ☀️💨A break for the team today as we head to #BTME2024 @GolfLS18 🚜⛳️

A chilly week on the course 🥶🥶❄️ with some beautiful sunrises! Tree and scrub clearance taking place on the 1st hole this week, great effort by the team! @GolfLS18
