Greys Green - Greenkeeper/Construction Crew Wanted.

[Adrian_Stiff]

I don't know if this is the right protocol but we have a project and are looking for persons interested in a couple of years work building/maintaining Greys Green is a 36 hole golf course a few miles from Huntercombe which we are totally rebuilding. Ben Stephens and myself have completed the initial design work and we made a start at the back end of last year. We have high hopes for this course which is on a sandy gravel loam. We intend to construct 9 holes each year, keeping the very basic course open to the golfers, but by 2016 we should have 9 holes perhaps more open.


Could be a great opportunity for someone to learn how to drive blades, excavators and get involved in design, construction, so I thought I would ask here first.

Hi Adrian, this project sounds very interesting. Im from Oxford and have been playing my golf at Frilford since the early 90's. I also spent two and a half years at the Oxfordshire Golf Club as a greenkeeper followed by a year at Southfield , now oxford golf club. This was several years ago. Although not really looking to get back into greenkeeping i would be very interested in developments at Greys Green.
Many thanks Paul.
