Trees which began life in Henry VIII’s days are an historical feature of Moor Park courses
24 I PC OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2016 Togetherness. The whole of the Moor Park greenkeeping team Sponsor of:
quite a mansion, but pretty impressive all the same. It’s the lunchbreak, and all fifteen of the club’s greenkeepers are there ready and waiting for a team photo. It’s like everything at Moor Park, well-prepared and ready in time. There’s definitely an all-together feeling, and I haven’t even started talking to Stuart about work on the courses. He straightaway confirms the
first impression, by telling me that everyone works on both courses. There’s no ‘us and them’ or rivalry. The abiding aim is that each greenkeeper is familiar with conditions across all thirty-six holes. “I like to see that, if needs be in the event of a major event or difficulty, all staff can readily and efficiently be diverted to one or other course,” says Stuart. “The club always sees I have
the resources to do the job. It really is a great place to be a greenkeeper, but you do have to realise that the expectations of
members here are higher than at most clubs and that course quality plays an important part in membership retention.” Stuart does an early morning
course walk every day and will run through the business of the day with his deputy, Darren Marsten-Smith, soon after. Communication and democracy are keynotes to how things are run. There are monthly ‘no holds barred’ team meetings when all issues relating to course care are discussed. Everyone can have their say. He has a good relationship with the members, although the higher expectations he’s mentioned puts extra pressure on the job. You just have to be a good politician, he tells me, and he reckons he is. “A modern course manager
has to have his focus firmly set on where the club is going in harmony with the powers that be,” he says. Moor Park holds Greens Committee meetings five times
