Rob joins Stu to chat arrows!!!

Stu is joined once by Pete Newton and this time the gents discuss Bigga's master greenkeeper award. Pete was the 66th person to be awarded the master greenkeeper certificate in 2015 and the list globally is still well below 100 people.

Pete talks about the process and offers his thoughts on its place and regard within the industry.

As always some current industry discussion and more Rochdale football chat at the end.

Meet Duncan Cheslett. A late starter to the turf industry. Having worked for himself for many years as a furniture maker Duncan needed a change as the impact of Covid hurt many self employed people. As keen golfer Duncan had a meeting at his local club assuming he would be interviewing for a desk based role and all of a sudden he was a green keeper.

In this episode we hear about Duncan's journey in the industry so far and Stu all discusses some of the current industry "hot" topics.

Duncan has always been very outspoken within some social media groups and proves to be a wonderful guest,

Tommy Bissett is back having a good old natter with Stu. Do the words mental health have evoke more negative than positive thoughts? Is mental well being a "softer" approach to the subject?

What makes a good snacking nut and have you ever met someone from Liechtenstein?

We all have a few things that grind our gears but what if you had the chance to wipe something off the face of the earth for good. Today Stu, Phil and Dean had that chance. Be warned that if you like tea, cycling or park run this episode might not be for you!!!

Jason and Rob are back for a look at how the first few weeks and 4 games have gone for Luton and Sunderland.

Some Wayne Rooney and Lee Carsley chat towards the end.

Enjoy.

Stu is joined by Sunderland's number 1 fan RobT180 to discuss how you would go about creating your own podcast and the sort of content it might include. Stu offers his experience in over three years of podcasting and content creation.

HWOM is branching out. In the coming weeks we will be releasing 3 hours per month of turf related content over on Patreon. It will be a small paid subscription service. Listen to hear what Stu has planned. Please don't panic. Free turf content will still be available and only certain content will remain behind a pay wall. Turf chats with guests will be released early via patreon.

Stu is joined by Chris Thomson to talk about his life and how he has battled anxiety along the way. A promising rugby talent that took him to study at Loughborough university, it was here that Chris first had to deal with not always being selected to play the sport he had grown up loving and excelling at. What he now knows to be anxiety manifested in different ways and Chris discusses this with Stu.

Finishing university and entering the working world Chris again excelled but his life suffered a huge loss when a good friend living in Sydney took his own life.

Chris admits to struggling to come to terms with the loss of Hamish and after thinking long and hard quit his busy city life and job in sales to hopefully become and full time adventurer and endurance athlete. Chris has undertook and completed 32 back to back ultra marathons in all 32 Scottish councils and in recent weeks casually cycled 600 km to meet up with friends!!!

An amazing chat with an amazing man.
