Duncan’s Turf Care Experience
My name is Duncan Gray and have been a Head Greenkeeper of golf courses for around thirty five years. During that time I have also had responsibility for maintaining a variety of sports pitches, public parks and bowling greens throughout Scotland. These have included both the ladies and men’s world bowling championships at the Ayr Northfield bowling green complex, and many high class golf tournaments, such as the Home Internationals, the Open final qualifying, and many pro-ams.
Alongside my golf course work, for around twenty years I have also managed my own turf advisory company, advising on the maintenance of grass surfaces over a range of sports and leisure activities. I have also done a great deal of work in designing and constructing new golf courses, along with the upgrading of many established sports facilities.

Hi Geofrey, we have a good selection of quality artificial grasses. It really depends on how realistic you want it to look. Have a look at our shop to get an idea what you would like, then get back to me for pricing. Would you lay it yourself, or require us to do it? I can send you samples, if you would prefer that give me your address and I will get it off to you.

Hi Duncan, I built a putting green in my rear garden ( 20years) however, the woman next door erected a 2 mtr fence within 1mtr last year.
I solid tine with a fork at fork width intervals every Autumn and treat with lawn sand in winter.
The green is built on 12″ of gravel under 12 ” of sand with top dressing.
The grass is mixed bent/fescue/poa annua.
Any suggestion of grass type to over seed with to help with shade increases by the fence?
The Spring Turf Care: Mosskiller/Lawn fertiliser @ £40.86…does this include VAT and is this is a 20kg bag? Does it come in 25kg, and at what price?
Regards
