In the latest edition of Greenkeeper International its Editor, Scott MacCallum, poses the question of whether golf courses in the UK should have a system of national protection, the equivalent of a Listed Building status. Good question Scott.
They are off and trundling again. Yes Messers Windows and Bechelet of the STRI are once again promoting their Trueness meter. I reviewed this machine during Harrogate Week at the start of this year, and I hate to be smug, but I was right. It is far too expensive for the regular members golf club to purchase.
I quote from an article in, this industry’s most informed magazine, Pitchcare. “At present, it (Trueness Metre) does have its limitations because it only measures the smoothness/trueness of the greens at a single point in time and, at present, it is beyond the resources of most clubs to purchase one. Maybe in ten years it will be a standard assessment tool available to everyone”.
