a grant by the Forestry Commission to plant 50,000 tree whips. Whilst they haven’t been an issue so far, Andrew predicts that it is within the coming years that the extra shade from their growth will start to affect his work. Because of the density of the soil, these


whips took a while to form complex root systems, and their energy went into this instead of top-growth. Now though, this top- growth may flourish at a new rate. In anticipation of this, the club has just begun to thin them out across some areas.

Height of cut on the greens averages 3.75mm during the summer and 4.5mm when it’s coldest. Tees and aprons are at 10mm in summer, 12mm in winter. Fairways are 15mm when warm, increasing to 17mm, and semi-rough is always at 50mm. These greens are finished with their new


Jacobsen Eclipse Greens mower, and everyone on the staff take turns completing such daily activities. And this teamwork that the club hold as perhaps its key value, one gets the feeling, is the real root cause of all


this modern thinking. “When this idea came up for the Trilby Tour, we got together and asked each other whether we all felt it’s an interesting idea. I mean, we simply met up at the clubhouse [the senior management team] and asked whether we’re capable of it, and whether it would be beneficial.” “That’s the way we do things. Everyone is
