Excellent and informative video Grant and so good to have a better understanding of how much work goes into maintaining and improving our course. Well done everyone especially the new labourer or should that be labrador!!
Is the rootzone not all mostly sand like American Greens that have been switched over from clay push up greens? Is it clay sand and peat for the rootzone?
At a previous place of employment, we had well aged push up greens. They would notoriously hold excess water. With limited budget, we ran a shattermaster through every six months. Problem solved.
I have been in the golf business for 40 years, I am very skeptical of the process, it is very hard to take a push up green and make it drain. Fines may block the capillary tubes, or you may get dry streaks where they are and wet areas between them, inconsistent moisture in the green. The only way to do it in my experience is to dig the whole green up and rebuild it from scratch.
Thanks to all the team for the hard work, as you say 'No better place "
great to watch and understand how you keep improving it for us to enjoy!
Human minds at work, very interesting concept thanks for the video

Great video fascinating stuff! 👏🏻
Hownlong did this process from start to finish take?? Including when was the green back in action
Great video!
How have these greens performed this winter?
Are you seeing huge improvements?
Kind regards
That's great video!
Is there any disease issues from the rope?
Diseases never come from rope. Several diseases are always in the soil but you never see anything unless they become active.
Would this work on fairways or rough?
Well done!
Awesome
Yeah wondering how you aerate after this?
It looks like the “ropes” are buried deep enough that aeration of the top surface can still work.
They literally showed aeration at the end of the video. Solid tine
Did you not read the depth? It said 300mm more than enough for aeration to take place
It’s my baby music x

Weve had it done on many greens at harborne golf club. Honestly amazing!!! Worst greens became the best in a fortnight
