There’s been a Murder!!! (Of crows) 🐦‍⬛🍂

Now that autumn is truly underway our resident crows on the estate are beggining to squark and circle. 🪹📣

They really set the mood for the spookiest of seasons and hopefully will be doing their thing on the evenings of Haunted Hickories! 🎃🌒

Today is International Thank a Greenkeeper Day! 🙌

A massive thanks to Owen for all he does and recently becoming re-certified in the GEO Golf Sustainability Foundation. 🎉

“Kingarrock Hickory Golf continues to be an exemplar of sustainable golf management, utilising traditional turf and ecological management techniques in keeping with the ethos of the 1920s original course. They provide a truly unique visitor golfing experience, embracing the history and culture of a bygone era on the grounds of the Hill of Tarvit Mansion House. All within a stunning natural setting with wildlife in abundance. Greenkeeper Owen Browne should be commended for his expertise, enthusiasm and passion for sustainability, producing a biodiversity-rich, quality course without an irrigation system or the use of chemicals. The NTS drive to further raise awareness of Kingarrock will hopefully reach its aim for this “Hidden Gem” to become less “hidden” and more popular for local and international visitors.”- Carolyn Hedley (GEO accredited independent verifier)

If you see Owen out and about today feel free to give him a round of Applause 👏

Lovely catching up with David and Michelle yesterday. We had a great chat about the history of the course and how it has developed over the years, sharing stories and memories along the way.

It was also a wonderful opportunity to talk about hickory golf and the traditions that make the game so special. A thoroughly enjoyable day with great company and plenty of stories!

Golf ball or Mushroom❓🍄‍🟫🏌️

This maybe a question you’ll have to ask yourself here at Kingarrock! As we transition into autumn, more mushrooms will become visible as they begin to release their spores.

This mushroom is known as a puffball and we think has a striking resemblence to a golf ball.

Keep an eye out to see what other species of mushrooms you see when you are on and around the course.🕵️‍♂️🍄🍄‍🟫

What’s in yer bag? ❓Bakspin Mashie.⛳️

From one of the U.S.A’s oldest club manufacturers, Crawford McGregor & Canby Co., the Bakspin Mashie was outlawed in early 1920’s for its large grooves working too effectively and providing an unfair advantage in competition.

This one survived to make it to in the golf cottage at Kingarrock as one of our most unique clubs.

Each club at Kingarrock tells a story - stay tuned to learn more as we go through more of our ✨unique✨ hickory clubs! 🏌🏻‍♂️
