Golf
We have two
apprentices. This is going well, although it does take up a lot of my time. But, at least this way, we can train them in the way we like the work to be done
What is the total acreage and how is this split up?
There is one 18-hole championship course covering approximately 165 acres, plus a 6- hole short course of around 4.5 acres and a golf academy driving range that is roughly 6 acres which incorporates three practice bunkers. A new fairway with a practice green is being added.
Off the white tees, the 18-hole course measures 6,601 yards; off the blues 6,043 and, off the red tees, 5,371.
Tell us about your team and what additional help you get?
My deputy head is my brother, Colin Mckendrick, who’s been here eighteen years. Conor Gilles is my senior greenkeeper and Craig Imlah completes the qualified staff.
We also have two apprentices - Allan Hay and David Kelly. This is going well, although it does take up a lot of my time. But, at least this way, we can train them in the way we like the work to be done.
Our goal here is to get everyone up to speed Elevate Fe & Clipless

as soon as possible so the pressures are shared and the responsibility divided evenly. We have three qualified sprayers, so this task is also shared as evenly as possible.
Training is ongoing and we attend what seminars we can. We’ve recently signed our new health and safety legislation forms. Three of us are qualified first aiders, with one qualified to use the defibrillator.
Our agronomist is David Stansfield, who visits us in February of each year, but is on call 24/7. T.I.S are our irrigation contractors
