Members are doing a great job reconstructing the dry-stone wall
choice. “Luckily for me, Tytherington’s gardener was retiring the year I left school and they off ered me the position of trainee greenkeeper. Soon after I started, the head greenkeeper (who took me on) moved to Stockport Golf Club and the deputy became head. Eighteen months later, at the age of eighteen, I received a phone call from Stockport Golf Club asking me if I would like to join them as an assistant greenkeeper (which I happily accepted). In the ten years at Stockport, I was very lucky to be able to take part in many construction tasks including the reconstruction of greens, tees and installing drainage. It was the fi rst time I had got stuck into construction and I really enjoyed it.”
“Ten years on, the head greenkeeper left and I moved back to The Tytherington Club as the fi rst assistant, before a promotion to deputy head after just a few months (due to the head and deputy simultaneously leaving to pursue other opportunities). Chris, who had been appointed the new head greenkeeper,
off ered me the deputy head position.” “Four years on, I was browsing Facebook when I saw the position of head greenkeeper at Leek Golf Club advertised and I was off ered the position after a Zoom meeting with the board.”
Daniel feels fortunate that he was able to appoint a new team member who he knew would support him in his new role and off er the right advice. That responsibility fell upon Steven Millar (47), Senior Greenkeeper with thirty years’ experience. His qualifi cations include NVQ Levels 2 and 3 in Sports Turf Management, PA2 and PA6 and also 201 and 202 chainsaw licences. He is also grateful to have Assistant Greenkeeper Connor Daly (24).

His qualifi cations include NVQ Level 2 in Horticulture, PA2 and PA6, 201, 202 and 203 chainsaw licences, cylinder/bottom grinder certifi cates. Plus, Assistant Greenkeeper Seth Stanton (20) who has four years’ experience at the club. He has recently passed his NVQ Level 2 in
