Keith Gray is a man who knows what he is about when it comes to looking after a golf course and being a Yorkshire man he needs no lessons in good old-fashioned plain speaking.

It is now some three years since the Club invested in the OPICO grass harrow following a demonstration at the Club. "Obviously it pulls the moss out but equally it lifts the grass up so it can be cut. All in all it does a helluva good job," said Keith. He went on, "There was a time when we used a farm harrow on the course but they are a bit too vicious, then we ended up with nothing. We were always looking for something to lift the grass up as well as taking out the moss."

Two years ago the grass harrow was used on just four fairways but last year, said Keith, it was used on all of them. "It's a very good machine and so simple to use. It's just a matter of pulling it behind the tractor and going at whatever speed you want to."
