Matt Holden- Head Greenkeeper.

Growing up in the Highlands of Scotland and being a member of Royal Dornoch, I think golf and  greenkeeping was always going to be in my blood. After spending my youth attached to a golf club and my work experience at Royal Dornoch, I decided. greenkeeping was for me. At the age of 20, I moved to Sheffield, and after working at several clubs in the area I stumbled across this spectacular place "Sickleholme" - peaceful, friendly and scenic (home from home!) and joined the team here.  Recently being appointed Head Greenkeeper in 2015 has given me that extra drive to take this  beautiful course to its maximum potential.
