After yesterday’s success with 16mm ID hollows on tees, here’s the @baronessuk FS900 clearing moist 8mm ID hollow cores on greens. At a time when labour is hard to find, this will be a winner! Thanks to @turfleethire 👌

The wait is over!! Baroness FS900 on its maiden voyage over 1/hectare of the Church course tees. Completed in 8 hours without a soul lifting a shovel. The labour savings are ridiculous. @willsimmonds5 expertly piloting it. Available to hire through @turfleethire 👏👏👏

Hey @tcsturfequip that’s not a mower! Tom providing sprayer calibration training for the sprayers of tomorrow. No limit to this man’s talents. Even predicting the future; with a two year wait for replacement sprayers ordered this year 😅. Thanks Tom 👏👏👏

Only one full-time space left on our team for this season! Trainee, qualified assistant or senior greenkeeper. What a great opportunity 😊
Uninspired at work? Old machinery breaking down? Feeling unappreciated? Waiting your turn for training? Waterproofs leaking? No vending machine? If so you’re in luck! We are recruiting entry level & senior turfgrass technicians to join our course maintenance department. DM me 😎

Our members often say “your lawn must be immaculate at home” and now I’m pleased to say it nearly is! 100% dwarf rye sown last September. I find the fineness of leaf buys me an extra two weeks before the wife moans at me to cut it 😏

All greenkeepers: “we’re going to maintain soil pH at 5.5 or below, apply large volumes of angular sand topdressing, collect grass clippings, promote drainage, reduce thatch, overseed with fescue, de compact soils, judiciously apply nitrogen”😬 Casting earthworms: .......
