TAKING PRIDE IN FRAMLINGHAM Mike Rutterford is Head Groundsman at Framlingham
College, a position he took over from his brother. The former home of the Duke of Norfolk is in safe hands.
MARK’S TIME AT FULFORD It is the course where Bernhard Langer famously played a
televised shot out of a tree and also where the crew of a Halifax bomber lost their lives during the Second World War.
TYRRELLS WOOD Billy McMillan is one of five brothers who are all greenkeepers.
He is also the outgoing Chairman of BIGGA who has worked tirelessly to improve the standing of Greenkeepers.
FOREST TRUMPS When the previous incumbent packed his bags for the bright
lights of the big city the role of Head Groundsman at Nottingham Forest was filled by Ewan Hunter.
THE RACE THAT STOPS A NATION Flemington Raceway hosts the annual Melbourne Cup, one
horse racing's premier events. This year’s race was run on a newly laid track.
STUNNING SANDOWN Craig Williamson, Estate Manager at Sandown Park, is
responsible for all turf surfaces on the site. No mean feat at a ‘year round’ venue that hosts Flat, Hurdles and Jump meetings
WHEN AUTUMN LEAVES ... Pitchcare’s leaf collection day at Rugby School was attended by
fourteen manufacturers keen to show just how good their products are.
BUNKERS or BONKERS?
The majority of golfers would consider a course without bunkers to be an inferior one. Golf Course Architect Jonathan Gaunt offers an insight into the history, design and maintenance of sand traps .......Page 20

ELLIE TAIT
PR and Marketing. With Christmas out of the way and all the Harrogate press releases written, Ellie can now concentrate on the important things - that new outfit for BTME, shedding those few extra pounds from too much turkey and chocolate and having a rant about Forest’s latest performance!
ALASTAIR BATTRICK
Web Monkey. Has been busy working on the new look Pitchcare website which “will be launched anytime” apparently. Believes that grumpiness should be considered an Olympic sport for 2012 -h
he’s in
training already! The gold medal should be just a formality!
DAN (1) HUGHES
Sales Manager. Quite possibly the busiest member of the team, at least that’s what he would have us believe. When not stocking the shelves of the Pitchcare shop, Dan enjoys a spot of metal detecting. He’s not allowed to bring it into work as the pin in Loz’s brain keeps setting the thing off!
DAN (2) PARKES
Assistant Web Developer (when did that happen?). His new job title appears to have gone to his head as he now offers opinions on such things as design and content of the website and magazine... and who should make the coffee now that he has, obviously, risen higher in the ranks.
CHRIS JOHNSON
Training Coordinator. Nothing phases Chris, not even a day in the office with the ‘boys’ thrashing out the content of the latest training initiatives from PC. Quietly spoken, level headed and organised beyond belief -n
nothing
like any of our staff are used to!
CRAIG WILLIAMSON Sandown Racecourse
SHARON TAYLOR
Company Accountant and wages guru (she’s lovely). Sharon has been ‘so busy’ lately that she just hasn’t had time to check all her emails. That hasn’t stopped her firing off emails to all and sundry asking where this, that and the other is? Err, they are in your ‘inbox’ Sharon!
