💚⛳ THANK A GREENKEEPER DAY - 8TH SEPTEMBER ⛳💚
Today is Day, so there’s really only one thing to do…
Give a massive shout-out to the team who keep Blackwell looking as good as it does, week in, week out. 👏
Our greens team are out there early mornings, late evenings, in blazing sunshine, pouring rain, wind, frost and everything else the North East throws at them.
And they’ve done an unbelievable job this year.
The course has been mint, the greens have been immaculate, the tee boxes have looked sharp, the rough has been fair, the bunkers have kept them busy… and yes, they’ve even been called upon to water the hanging baskets. 😂
So today, we salute the Boys in Pink:
💗 Richie – the Head Honcho
💗 Nick – the Trusty Sidekick
💗 Reece – King of the Grinding
💗 Kieran – Master of the Rough Cut
💗 Bushy – Spray Star Extraordinaire
💗 Blacky – Bunker Supremo
💗 Archie – our Star Apprentice
It takes a huge amount of work behind the scenes to keep a golf course in great condition, and most of it happens before many of us have even had our first cup of tea.
Greenkeeping is about far more than simply cutting grass. It’s course presentation, plant health, drainage, irrigation, machinery, sustainability, bunkers, trees, paths, weather management and a thousand other jobs that most golfers never see.
So next time you’re out on the course, give the lads a wave, say thank you, and always give them priority while they’re working.
They’re doing it all to make the course the very best it can be for us.
A huge thank you from everyone at Blackwell Grange Golf Club to our brilliant Greens Team.
We salute you, lads. 👏💗⛳
