"... 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.

Last year, we were commissioned to build a 6 green "course" for a client in Central Victoria. The mandate was to create multiple routing options from each tee.

@mikeclaytongolf.bsky.social :
"Lukas Michel built greens that take shots from a variety of angles. It's immense fun finding new options."

It's been a while since we posted the classic architect with plans shot so here is @ivgd1.bsky.social on site today at Whittington Heath.

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.

Both Mikes were at the Mornington Peninsula's Portsea today. Mr D couldn't resist an opportunity to reshape the 3rd green's surrounds.

As in Chantilly, the local chateau in Fontainebleau is as breathtaking as the golf.

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.

With many thanks to the incomparable AA Milne, it's our birthday...

It was a little murky at The Addington yesterday but the City of London was particularly visible.

Recent vegetation management has restored many wonderful vistas both long and short.

Bill Longmuir and GM Dan Blesovsky dodged this morning's squalls and enjoyed a few holes at Berkhamsted GC.

Park's landforms are beautiful. It's very early days but, in time, we hope to uncover many of those that have been lost over the years due to the ingress of vegetation.
