Some manufacturers have better machinery specialising in certain jobs than others, and you have to pick the right machine for the right job.


Are there any new pieces of kit that have significantly helped to improve your playing surfaces?


I think realistically it is a balance of having the right machinery in the right place at the right time. I would say that the machine that truly made most difference to the surface, other than mowers, was our standalone sprayer.


Do you hire in machinery for specific tasks?


Very rarely. Buying machinery has almost become a part of my life, and I like to be able to buy any machine we are looking to use.


Who carries out your servicing?


I carry out my own servicing. Growing up around machinery, I learnt a lot about engines and mechanics from my father, and I spent many evenings in our home sheds rebuilding Ransomes Mastiffs, some of which I am still using to this day. This taught me so much about machinery, and I am


fortunate enough to have brought that forward into maintaining my fleet of machines. I purchased Bernhard cylinder grinders to keep my mowers in tip top shape at all times, and will fix virtually all problems myself.


What would your wish list include?


I think my main wish list for the club includes the new Dennis 34” rotary mower, which would make a big difference to cleaning up after each game ... I can pray. For myself ... a loader tractor and topdresser would certainly not go amiss.
