a good proportion of golfers really value the work we do here, but with others not really having an understanding of what we do and think that it is as simple as jumping on a mower
Jersey is the driest part of the UK and irrigation is an important consideration Although Les Ormes does not have an
agronomist, I am lucky enough to be a friend of Anthony Asquith, who has been an incredible help to me when certain issues arise.
The greens are made up mainly of a local sandy material and drain very well. We topdress the greens with material brought into Jersey, as the local sand is very fine. This is a huge cost - mainly for shipping and
transportation - but it is too important not to carry out. Living on an island puts costs up dramatically as all materials have to be bought from the mainland. We do have issues with shading, especially our sixth green; a good proportion is in shade for long durations during the summer months and, during the winter, hardly sees any light at all, so I hope to address this as soon as possible. We do not use temporary

greens during the winter. The ten greens are only 4,000 square metres in total and they do take a lot of traffic.
What are your maintenance regimes?
We cut the greens six times a week, in conjunction with rolling two or three times a week. During stress periods, we may relax on these - instead of cutting in high temperatures, we may just roll. Every day
