Education,education,education has been the theme of the last few days. GCSAA Conference and Trade Show. Wonderfully balanced with the theory of “work hard/play hard” with some fantastic evening events #midway and last nights taco/ tequila party.Chris Low and I the only ones to do the tequila part

My lovely wife and her Skin Cancer nurse colleagues are doing this challenge for the Rosemere Cancer unit at Royal Preston Hospital. Any donations to this very worthy cause would be much appreciated 👍👍 If you’d like to donate: justgiving.com/fundraising/sk…

Once again blown away by the level of service from Reelsharp . Not only are these guys lifesavers whist I wait for my red beauties to arrive from Bernhard and Company. The big guy had to turn into Columbo and spent hours helping to resolve an issue we discovered 1st Class 👏👏

It’s always a wrench to leave these views. However all things must come to an end. It has been fantastic (and much needed) to be able to step off the tread mill and spend some quality time with the entire troop over the last few weeks. (1/2)

Well that’s my first full week completed since becoming half bionic. Credit to Adrian McCullough who did a fantastic job whilst I was off, as did the entire team. It’s great seeing the effort starting to pay off and things falling into place, it’s getting exciting Ringway Golf Club

Another great investment made Ringway Golf Club. Martin Twist after 10 years I’ve finally got my own Bernhard and Company grinders🥳🥳. Everything is falling into place for this season and for major developments for years ahead. #gamechanger #Startingtogetexcited Steven Henderson 😉

The last few weeks have been hugely positive and progressive Ringway Golf Club . Adrian McCullough and the team have absolutely smashed it. Their efforts this week with greens renovations never faltered. It only seemed right to treat the team ( and guest) to a fantastic breakfast

Bunker renovations that reduce the frequency and severity of washouts will extend the life of bunker sand, save countless hours of repair, and minimize disruption to play after a storm.

Traditionally, the McKenzie 8th green has been one of the worst greens for holding water here Ringway Golf Club. Earlier this year Tom Weston brought the Sand Cat from Campey™ Turf Care Systems as a demonstration. After 50+mm over the weekend I think we can say it’s been a success👏👏

Thanks again Chris and all CTM again for the wonderful service. The waiting time is certainly improving 👍👍 However this new addition will now have to “sit on the shelf “ for few months. It will have a good couple of layers of polish on it before it has its maiden mow😂😂

Things are finally starting to move forward ( finally) with the redevelopment of our driving range. Base level is in place, and we now move onto the shaping of the site. I’m starting to let myself get excited about what a practice facility we will have Ringway Golf Club
