though budgets are often small. I feel this is purely down to greenkeepers understanding how to manage the soil as well as the plant.” “I'm sure that, at some clubs,
there will be staff that feel undervalued but, during my career, the majority of members and committees have been very positive to everything that the
greenkeepers have been involved in.” “Our association is doing a
great job in raising our profile, especially with trying to get greenkeepers to ‘continue to learn’ throughout our careers. If we go about our work professionally, we will be seen as such by those outside the industry,” Stuart concludes.

“Machinery is bought when needed; sometimes new, but we
also purchase secondhand if it’s the right deal.
We try to purchase what is best for the courses, so buy from whoever gives us the best deal.
The Wiedenmann TerraSpike has been a good addition, allowing us to aerate at different levels to create more air movement, which has improved the conditions of the greens. Also, having the Tru-Turf roller has allowed us to lower the amount of times we cut the greens, which has also helped.
We try to do as much ongoing maintenance and servicing as we can in-house to save on costs, leaving only sharpening and machine breakdowns to be outsourced.”
