Inspiring to see the treated gorse dying back after this year’s work. A big step in restoring areas of our natural links heath and allowing the course’s ecology to thrive again. #LinksGolf #Ecology #Heathland #GolfCourseManagement
Had a brilliant day at #TurfScienceLive — some great insights shared. Privileged to have won the prize for best question! 🌱⚡
Just spotted the first waxcaps of the year 🍄 Always a special sign of late summer turning to autumn, and a great indicator of healthy, undisturbed grassland. #Greenkeeping #Ecology #Fungi
Looking forward to Turf Science Live at The Fairmont in St Andrews next Wednesday! 🌱 Excited to explore new turf management techniques, sustainability in greenkeeping, and the latest innovations – plus some great networking with fellow greenkeepers. #TurfScienceLive #Greenkeeper
James Hutchinson revisits one of his favourite sites – Silloth on Solway – where ecological excellence sits alongside first-class maintenance. bigga.org.uk/news-listing/s…
Had an amazing day at a seminar hosted by ICL and Syngenta! Huge thanks to @RobAinscoughICL and @gppLoakes for the insights on surfactants, wetting agents, and leatherjacket control. Learned so much today! #TurfManagement #Learning
Huge thanks to @JacobsenTurf for an amazing day at @JCBGolfCC. Fantastic hospitality, incredible course, and a brilliant chance to connect and learn. A day to remember! 🙌⛳ #Jacobsen #JCBGolf #GolfCourseManagement #Greenkeeping
Great ecology grows on a steady diet of conservation. 🌿 #GolfWildlife #EcoGolf #SustainableGolf #LinksLife
Found some white heather on the course today 🌿 Traditionally, it’s a symbol of good luck and was once given to the woman you wanted to marry 💍 A rare find in nature, and even rarer on the links! #WhiteHeather #GolfCourseWildlife #LinksGolf #GolfEcology #Conservation
Good agronomy doesn’t wait for perfection…..It rewards action. 📈
Thought of the day: A perfectly green golf course might look good in photos — but variation in texture and colour often tells a healthier, more ecological story. #SustainableGreenkeeping #Ecology #GolfCourseManagement
🌧️ Spent the afternoon pulling rose bay willow herb from one of our more desirable heathland habitats. It might look pretty — but it spreads fast, outcompetes native species, and erodes the diversity that makes these areas special. #Greenkeeping #Ecology #HeathlandRestoration
Proud to feature in this piece on conservation and course care at Silloth on Solway – “The course that has it all.” A look at how ecology and playability go hand in hand. 🔗 bigga.org.uk/news-listing/s… #Greenkeeping #GolfEcology #SustainableGolf #SillothOnSolway

New month, new butterflies and moths to look out for in your gardens and local green spaces! 🦋🌻 See how many you can spot in the #BigButterflyCount, which runs until 10 August 👉 …erflycount.butterfly-conservation.org
The latest Links From the Road podcast takes a deep dive into the architecture of Silloth on Solway. A really good listen if you’re into course design, strategy, and what makes links golf so special. #GolfArchitecture #LinksGolf #SillothOnSolway #GolfPodcast @sd_cooper
Really proud to be featured in the latest issue of Greenkeeper International. It’s great to see the ecological and course work at Silloth on Solway getting recognition. Balancing golf and the environment is always worth the effort. #Greenkeeping #SustainableGolf #LinksGolf
The Big Butterfly Count is a brilliant way for Greenkeepers and Golfers to start their conservation journey. It costs nothing, takes minutes—and you might be amazed by what you see. Awareness is where it begins. 🦋🌱 #Greenkeeping #GolfAndNature #ButterflyCount #EcologyInGolf
