Dear Hiring Manager, Opening hook I’ve built a hands-on, practical approach to turf care over a decade in clubs and schools, tackling everything from seedbed prep to top dressing. At my last role I helped bring a rough patch of 2 hectares back to a playable standard in one season, using targeted aeration, fertilising and careful mowing regimes. I’m keen to apply that experience to [Company Name] and help keep your greens, fairways and wickets consistent across the year. Skills alignment You’ll see I’m strong on seedbed preparation, levelling surfaces and managing irrigation so the turf stays healthy with minimal water waste. I work with small crews and reliable machinery, from hand tools to power rotaries, and I’m comfortable installing lines, posts and basic nets. My focus is on practical maintenance, timely repairs and documenting what matters for ongoing playability and safety. Evidence story At [Previous Company] we faced a patchy, heavily used nine-hole layout before winter. I led a programme that included overseeding, core aeration and a light top dress, plus recalibrating our irrigation schedule. The result was a surface that recovered quickly after heavy play, significantly improved uniformity, and reduced downtime after rain events. It was steady work, but the quality of the turf spoke for itself on opening day. Professional close I’d be glad to discuss how my hands-on approach fits [Company Name] and the team. I’m available for a chat this week or next and can bring a practical plan for your current season. Kind regards, [Your Name]
