Stuart is joined by Bradley to discuss one of the "hot" topics with the turf industry. Are turf professionals paid enough? I think the answer is pretty unanimous but where can the extra money needed come from? is golf too cheap? when you can get 18 holes for £22 and a coffee and bacon role costs you £7 halfway round is something out of sync?

Early in the pod Bradley explains his role in International Greenskeepers. A company offering assistance in placing greenskeepers from the UK and abroad into suitable long and short term industry roles.
