Appreciating the role of a Greenkeeper

On most golf club websites, you will see plenty of information on things like membership, the pro shop, events, the clubhouse, the club professional…but virtually very little about the team who keep the greens in tip top condition – the Greenkeeper.

Yes, we are talking about you, those early starters. We appreciate that you have many job titles, from Greenskeeper, Assistant Greenkeeper, First Assistant Greenkeeper, Deputy Head Greenkeeper, Head Greenkeeper Deputy Course Manager, Course Manager and we recognise the work that you do, after all, we speak with you almost every day.

We can imagine that it is no easy task keeping the greens to the high standard set. There is mowing banks, roughs, tees, greens and fairways, aerating turf, applying top dressing, repairing divots, irrigating turf, pest and weed control as well as health and safety issues. We appreciate and recognise the tasks in hand by Greenkeepers.

Of course, your members want to play in safety and comfort but there is another job on the horizon that you need to add to the list – potential slip hazards on tee-steps or footbridges.

Well, we can take that weight off your shoulders, and all you’ll need is a tape measure! We can offer you the ultimate anti-slip product that will not only protect your members, but it will protect you and your greens staff and also the wear and tear of the timbers you use. Oh, and one good thing is, that the downtime to fix these is the same time you have your morning tea-break.

We have worked very closely with many golf clubs, over 500 at last count, and we really do understand the potential slip hazard issues of what you have used in the past, why it doesn’t work and why you should speak with us.
Whilst the “green friendly” golf spiked shoes helped maintain the condition of fairways and greens, it also increased the potential to slip, trip and fall, and the added problem was that sand, paint, wire, artificial grass or rubber matting was never going to prevent these incidences, in fact, they contributed to them.

We recognise the value of the Greenkeeper, where time is not always on your side and so you need an easy to fix solution that will stay fixed for a very long time. We have a leading product that is used and recognised amongst golf clubs, so that is one task that you no longer need to worry about.

So if you have your tape measure, take some dimensions, let us have them and we can simply let you know what you need to keep your course safe. Give us a call on 023 8040 6796 to get a quote.
