The Performance Bowling Greens Programme

The job of bowling greenkeeping has become unnecessarily complicated and expensive. Unfortunately, a lot of what is now considered standard practice in bowling green maintenance is actually making greens less enjoyable to play on and much more difficult to manage in terms of performance and cost.

This is largely due to the maintenance practices that have become accepted as essential and an approach to greenkeeping that focusses on the eradication of symptoms, instead of pro-actively maintaining greens for turf health and performance.

The widespread use of synthetic fertilisers, excessive amounts of sand and broad spectrum pesticides is causing an on going cycle of symptoms chasing, just to stand still. If you need proof of this, just look around the various greenkeeping forums and social media groups online to see how many posts begin with “what is this and how do I kill it or get rid of it?”

My Performance Bowling Greens Programme aims to get to the root cause of green problems, whilst returning the turf and soil to a more natural, healthy state making greens much more resilient to problems, and more readily prepared for high performance.

Greenkeeping Advisory Service

To help bowling clubs find a way to overcome years of green performance issues and snowballing maintenance costs, I help them to develop a new way to maintain their greens through my greenkeeping advisory service. This involves undertaking a thorough soil analysis, which I personally advise on for every customer. You will receive a comprehensive report and recommended maintenance programme specifically for your green with unlimited advice and follow up to ensure you set your green on the road to recovery and improved playing performance.
