We are all guilty of saying or doing things that we regret in life and that includes bowlers. Those of you that are charged with the maintenance of your bowling green will know that there is precious little praise for all your hard work  but a constant stream of moans and groans about the condition of the green.

Modern rotary spreaders are an essential piece of equipment for any Greenkeeper. So why do so many of us fail to maintain them and end up ruining their turf for the months ahead?

A new bowling season will bring with it renewed cries from members that the Green is too slow. The usual complainers at your club will have a ready answer for speeding up the Green.
