Set in 160 acres of beautiful Essex parkland with superb views of the countryside stretching as far as London on a clear day, Abridge Golf Club at Stapleford Tawney near Romford describes itself as having traditional values with a modern outlook.

Applications are now open for this year’s training course for potential agricultural and horticultural journalists, administered by the British Guild of Agricultural Journalists and sponsored by John Deere Limited.

John Deere continues to help golf courses and sports arenas make maintenance operations easier with the introduction of the 1200H bunker rake, which will be available from the company’s professional turf dealer network this spring.
