meadowgrass. It was chosen for its hard wearing characteristics, and for the colour definition it provided against the turf on the greens. Once laid, the new greens were rolled and watered for a week to ten days and topped with the mower. They’ve since been topdressed four times with the sand rootzone. “My staff are now carrying out daily mowing and have reduced the height of cut from 7mm to 5mm, which is what we’ll maintain it at through the winter.” Agronomist George Shiels added:
“The turf that Wentworth received is a testament to the skills of the grower and to what is achievable when you combine the expertise of those in the project group with that of a premium grower. What has impressed me most throughout the past year is that Tillers is a totally customer-focused supplier. Tim and his team enabled the project group to play an active part in the production process from start to finish, accommodating our requirements for seed, fertiliser, topdressing, cutting
heights and additional treatments. In my experience, the client rarely gets any input into the production process.” “Our collaborative decisions paid off and the result is now in-situ for all to see.”
On that point, Tim Fell agrees. “I’ve very much enjoyed working with Chris, Jack and George on this project. When you’re working closely with people you get to know them well - and that’s a real bonus. It’s the sort of job we relish because it demands the best from everyone involved. The guys on the turf farm, led by production manager Stephen Richardson, have done an outstanding job. They have shown formidable attention to detail in every part of the process. They’re all looking forward to going down to Wentworth when the last turf has been laid.”
