Blog hits Bigga magazine
My golf course blog has been featured in Decembers issue of the BIGGA (British and International Golf Greenkeers Association) magazine. The article has been written by our agronomist Robert Laycock and is a full page, highlighting the benifits for golf course managers using blogs as a method of communication to members. Robert discusses my thoughts on blogging and other blogs that inspired me to blog about work we do on the course at Malton and Norton. To read the full article please ask for a copy in the club office.
