Welcome to the home page of the Western Province Greens Care Standing Committee. The Greens Care Standing Committee has a wealth of experience when it comes to maintaining and improving your greens. They regularly produce newsletters with advice and information which is invaluable to anyone who has an interest in keeping their greens in perfect condition.
Meetings
The committee meets monthly at 10h00 at various venues throughout our district. Greenkeepers are welcome to attend these meetings, particularly when they are in your vicinity. Greenkeepers can contact Trevor Wheeler to find out the dates and venues for these meetings.
WhatsApp Group
There is also a very useful WhatsApp facility for Green keepers and any other Club members who may be interested in sharing ideas and asking questions regarding greens maintenance. If you wish to join this group, contact Vernon Dryden.
One Stop Resource
This web page provides links to other pages that contain information that is designed to assist our Greenkeepers in their day to day duties ensuring that our affiliated clubs have the best greens possible for their members. The information will be updated from time to time and it is hoped that in time this will become a one stop source of information that will help both experienced and inexperienced Greenkeepers.
