Question 1

Why do greenkeepers burn the waste from woodland management on the course?

AGC Greens · Accepted Answer

Waste wood is burnt in 2 areas; close to the sixth tee and on the far side of the driving range. Where we can we leave the wood and leaves in situ to decay naturally. Where we can’t do this we either chip, remove and stockpile or burn depending on conditions.
