29/8/18. We still are having issues regarding pitch marks on the greens . If you see anyone not repairing them please can you advise them to repair them to help maintain the greens condition  , thank you.
22/8/18. While on a few days holiday in Ireland I made a visit to Royal Portrush . I had a walk over the course to see some changes that have been made  in preparation for the Open Championship next year. I met with the head greenkeeper who gave me an insight in to what they have been doing . This is one of the new holes the par 4 7th . As you can see quite a tight tee shot and one massive bunker on the right,

22/8/18. This is the par 4 6th hole at the green looking out along the bay. A risk reward kind of hole where you might see a few go for it off the tee.

18/7/18 . I had the opportunity of helping out at this years Open Championship at Carnoustie as part of the Bigga Support Team .The experience working at this event is second to none .While working alongside other Head Greenkeepers you get a lot of information  about their courses and what they have faced this year and how they have dealt with it (especially the dry spell).
