When you accidently take a photo of a volunteer in his element.

Meet Gordon Greer - chief rough cutter, knapsack sprayer, hedge trimmer, and tree waterer and all round good guy!

Many of you know Gordy pretty well but for those who don't, he is one of our legends within the club for the countless hours he puts in weekly particularly saving myself up to 9 hours of grass cutting a week.

He came on board after retiring from Invermay Ag Research over 10 years ago to focus on keeping on top of our rough.

His aquistion has been a key part of lifting our turf quality across the whole course over time.

Gordy you are legend mate and we all appreciate your great work.

Here he is pictured showing off his work on the hedge at number 1 tee.

What this week's dew breaker/iron brew-haa looks like into the sun and the other way round.

Mint colour-up on these tees this morning after an iron/dew reduction foliar yesterday applied via knapsack.

As we know, Turf colour fades in winter but we do our best to promote consistency when it comes to aesthetics and playability all year round.

Iron sulphate strengthens cell walls in the leaf readying the Turf for winter stress while providing disease reduction.
