Photo Competition NOTABLE IMAGES THAT MADE THE SHORTLIST
Four images were shortlisted each month, with the winner voted for by Pitchcare members. Here’s a selection of some of those images. As you can see, the standard of entries was very high.
AUGUST 2013 - SIGHTS OF SUMMER
Graeme Roberts, 1st Assistant Greenkeeper at Tandridge Golf Club
Our overall winner, Graeme Roberts, also won the August competition with this ‘break of day’ shot taken at Tandridge Golf Club, which he titled; “One of our guys mowing first thing in the morning in July.”
Alexander MacDonald entered this fine photograph of Golspie Golf Club into October’s Autumn category
Derek Metcalfe submitted this view of the Scilly Isles into Sights of Summer in July

Yet another Chris Mitchell image; this time for Machinery in March
SEPTEMBER 2013 - WINTER SPORTS PRESENTATION
Stuart Webber, Head Groundsman at Whitgift School
Stuart’s second monthly win came in September with this shot of a huge tree casting a shadow over the 1st XV rugby pitch at Whitgift School; “ready for the visit of Skinners,” as he puts it.
The Reebok Stadium was submitted for Winter Pitch Presentation in September by one of their groundsmen, Nick Regan
