The Pursuit of Excellence and…economy.

Now that the snow and ice seems to be going (I hope I’m not tempting fate!) and of course that the new season is suddenly just around the corner, we’ve been getting a lot of enquiries asking two basic questions:

What is the ideal maintenance program to ensure an excellent bowling green surface this year? and…

How can we reduce costs for maintenance without compromising the performance of the green?

Well, although both of these questions are fairly easy to answer, the actual solution depends a lot on what has gone before and at what stage your green is at, in terms of performance at the moment.

The pursuit of excellence on a sensible budget has been very firmly on John Quinn, our Managing Director’s mind over the last few months also. That’s because he’s been absorbed in finishing his new book, Performance Bowling Greens, due for release on 15th February.

In the book that he describes as “A step by step blueprint in layman’s terms” John explains the reasons why most bowling greens don’t perform to the required standard, or if they do, why they don’t seem capable of perfoming consistently over the long term.

Also in the book John talks about his philosophy on high performance bowling greens, what makes them and how to achieve a tournament quality green on a reasonable budget, consistently.

John said ” I decided to write this book to detail in layman’s terms the exact formula needed for a great bowling green. A formula that is based on thorough scientific research and experience”

He went on to say: “I also wanted to alert bowling club officials and greenkeepers to the 4 major obstacles that stand in their way, the 4 obstacles that repeatedly stop them from producing the green they desire, so that hopefully they can learn to spot these and avoid them in the future.”

Tomorrow John will reveal the 4 major obstacles he sees getting in the way of excellence almost everywhere he looks in the bowling world.
