Tee off to achieve golfing green grass
The Open Championship may have ended – but work continues to ensure the green and the fairways remain in tip top condition.
Graham Royden, head greenkeeper at Royal St George’s in Kent, where the famous golf competition is held, says that gardeners can work towards making their grass look as good as his.
“The big difference between the course here at Royal St George’s and garden lawns is that we use a different type of grass seed and spend literally hundreds of hours tending the turf. But, that said, a few simple tips can help any gardener achieve near perfect results,” he says.
“The thing not to do is attempt to keep the grass as short as we do here on the course. I support the concept among domestic gardeners of keeping an area of grass either uncut during the season or at least left longer for the benefit of wildlife.”
Royden and his team, who work around the clock to ensure that the famous course is in top condition for the event, have a fleet of grass cutting machinery and equipment which includes more than 20 John Deere lawnmowers, tractors, scarifiers and other equipment.
