We always purchase from our local dealers. I believe service back-u
up
is very important when looking who to purchase from
with my Chairman and General Manager on the day to day workings on the course. I am responsible for ensuring that expenditure is kept within the parameters of the greens budget set out at the beginning of each financial year.” Steven goes on to discuss pests and
diseases. “We have suffered a lot of turf damage in recent years due to badgers feeding on chafer grub activity. Budgetary controls mean we treat behind any damage seen, using Merit, but it does mean we pretty much follow them around wherever the damage is.”
“Being on a chalk downland site means we
do not suffer too much in terms of worm casting, as they tend to be further down in the soil profile. Our most problematic weeds are on some fairways, with speedwell (Veronica filiformis) prominent, as well as self-heal (Prunella vulgaris). We use Relay containing Mecoprop, MCPA and Dicamba. We are looking to use their Cabadex product this year, containing Fluxopyrand Florasulam, to try to combat these weeds.” Machinery has, in the past, been
purchased on a five-year renewable finance deal, however, budget constraints meant that this was not achievable, so a seven-year plan was initiated instead. “We have fallen a
”
bit behind the plan and are trying to play catch-up now,” claims Steven. “Recently, we were given funds to buy
outright, which is how we purchased the Toro ProCore, and I’m not averse to buying secondhand if the right machine is available.” “We always purchase from our local
dealers. I believe service back-up is very important when looking who to purchase from. We have a mixture of different make of machines using John Deere, Toro and Kubota. We have investigated using one machinery fleet, but it wasn’t financially viable for us.”
