"... Congrats to @ivgd1.bsky.social who has been working here since 2002 ... Everything is dialled in, the fairways are suitably wide, the pines are back from play, and the heather has regenerated ... a supremely idyllic place to enjoy a game."

I have to admit to being slightly obsessed by the views of London that have appeared at The Addington post woodland management.

It was a bleakish morning for golf but a shaft of light lit up Canary Wharf as we approached the 1st green.

A busy week with projects on site in Australia (mainland and Tasmania), The Netherlands, and England.

This is Whittington Heath's 5th where @ivgd1.bsky.social is overseeing a rebunkering to amend the look and locations to be more in keeping with Colt's designs elsewhere.

A serious storm blew through Northern France last night causing some damage including my hotel window which bit the dust. This morning's walk at Golf de Fontainebleau took place whilst the course team was in the middle of cleaning up. Proper 3 club wind.

Course walk at The Addington today. The hill to the left of the 8th was scraped and brashed last year. Heather is already emerging. @ivgd1.bsky.social is happy.

Our partner Frank Pont has been appointed to advise Sutton Coldfield GC in Birmingham, England.

Originally laid out in the late 19th century, Alister MacKenzie was retained after WW1 to revitalise the course, the revised version finally opening in 1934.

Following its renovation by @ivgd1.bsky.social 18 months ago, New Zealand's 18th green is looking much more like a 1930s version of itself.

Current conditions = very firm and fast.
