About Oldham Bowling Club

Oldham Bowling Club is a prominent two-green facility that serves one of the largest bowling communities in the borough. The dual-green operation requires a more substantial equipment fleet than most clubs, with two cylinder mowers, a rotorake, and various hand tools all needing regular maintenance. The Pennine-edge location brings additional moisture and cooler temperatures that promote dense grass growth but also increase wear on mowing equipment. Seven miles from PGT Repairs, the club arranges pre-season servicing each February.

Operating two greens means the equipment fleet works double duty. Pre-season servicing of all machinery must be completed by mid-March to allow a month of preparation before the April opening.

CROWN GREEN SPECIALIST MOWING

Crown Green Maintenance Requirements

Crown greens demand a cylinder mower that can follow the contour of the crown — the raised centre that gives these greens their name. The mower must cut at a consistent 4-6mm height while navigating the subtle slopes, requiring precise blade adjustment and a well-maintained roller mechanism.

Crown green maintenance is as much about understanding the contours as it is about mowing. The crown must be maintained at a consistent gradient — any deviation creates bias that affects play. This means the mower setup must be exact, and any wear in the height adjustment mechanism needs prompt attention.
