We are fast approaching the 2007 major golf season.
The US Masters from Augusta is the premier tournament and an amazing show piece for the sport.
It is also an amazing show piece for the green staff.
What I would like to see this year is the BBC and Sky start to take on board the role of the greenkeeper in the presentation of the golf course.
I have a memory of seeing about eight staff mowing the fairways in a synchronised fashion using John Deere machines. It is like a military operation under extreme pressures of time but also in tandem with Mother Nature.
Augusta in the Spring will provide good grass growth and recovery but the chef will need to manage the team well.
Please. please, please can the television companies make this season a special one from the professional grass keepers point of view.
