Hereβs a great photo I used for one of my assignments. This is the amount of footfall a 4 ball will do on 1 green. Going into winter understand why your greenstaff will protect the greens at all costs. Whether theyβre frozen or wet, you can see how much wear they will have. 1/2

3 years of creating #turfcare content for @Pitchcare. Wow. Ironically, having the day off and will be enjoying the work greenkeepers do a little later.
Thanks for the help along the way. π

π¨π¨ Since part 1 did well with great interaction, here's part 2 of coring. I was very mislead with what I learned over the years with disturbance theory but thats ok because it gives me the opportunity to do "MY" own original take on it anyway ππ#greenkeepingwithjames

Great interaction on my last post. Exactly why I did and am doing the videos again. There is no right and wrong with coring was just giving a description of disturbance theory and stepping outside the comfort zone. Part 2 on coring coming π cheers guys π

π¨π¨New vid. This will be a multiple part series on disturbance theoryπ¨π¨. Very difficult to get it all in within the 2.20 seconds time frame so will be doing a part 2 more detailed reasons for coring. I hope over the course of a few videos I will explain disturbance theory.

@MinshadDr visited β³ @MaestegGolfClub this morning and had an excellent discussion with @SteveTrickery π± (Greenkeeper) and @JamesMatthewman.
I witnessed @Bionema tailored programme reduce pest infestation by 70% πβ¬οΈ and significantly improve turf quality πΏβ¨.
It's essential to stick to the programme.

Clicks on X let's see what I've missed. Turns X back off again for another month. Absolutely disgusting, well done @SkySportsRL for promoting this you're as clueless as your numpty presenter.

Pretty disrespectful and dismissive of one of the hardest working & skilled professions in sport, especially throughout all the levels in RL.
More than welcome to work with us and come see what we actually do anytime π
