Monday 6th January 2025We are pleased to inform you we have a new Head green keeper. Scott Robinson will commence work for Oldham Golf Club today, Monday 6th January 2025. Scott comes to Oldham with a vast experience of green keeping having started his career at Stamford Golf Club in 1990 and for the last 21 years as head green keeper at Crompton and Royton Golf Club. Scott will be assisted by Adam and together they should provide us with an excellent green keeping team. We ask you to be patient in the early stages to allow time for Scott’s experience to make any necessary changes to the course.
