Worms are not a problem at the minute as we got out the last of our carbendazim a few months ago, which seems to have worked well, the next few years could be ‘interesting’ with regards to casts
The Air2G2 being put through its paces
I think every golf club suffers with rabbits, badgers, foxes, geese, chafer grubs, worms etc. Luckily, badgers do not seem to do as much damage as at my previous clubs, which is great as they are extremely destructive. Crows like to peck at the surfaces a lot, meaning manpower in repairs goes up. We have geese on site, but they only seem to poo in the roughs, which is fine by me! Foxes and rabbits like to dig in the bunkers, but we rake them quite regular, so we can rectify this. However, on certain holes, they seem to like digging into the faces which can be very
annoying. Worms are not a problem at the minute as we got out the last of our carbendazim a few months ago, which seems to have worked well, but the next few years could be ‘interesting’ with regards to casts.
We have a hunter come in overnight once a week to limit the rabbits, but they seem to be multiplying ... like rabbits!
How important do you consider the local flora and fauna?
We have a large area of long rough which is there for over 75% of the year, however I
would like to introduce some wildflower areas that have worked for me in the past. We are currently deciding on where to put them so I can prep the area.
We do have an environmental policy in place, but it is quite generic. We are working very closely with the council at the minute as we have a TPO (tree protection order) on our site, so I am in regular communication.
We use our local tree surgeon to help us with our TPO applications and sometimes to act as an agent.
