Antony Wainwright, the 201 I Golf Environment Awards Conservation Greenkeeper of the Year winner, shares his rare bird experience atTurton Golf Club. I have worked at Turton Golf Club, a few miles north of Bolton, for seven years now, though my tenureat the course comes to an end in a couple of weeks.
