Worms and Worm Casts

I am a part time gardener and a full time crown green bowler, my missus would say.
We have a problem nearly all year round, with worms and worm casts on our bowling green.
The greenkeeper keeps it immaculately, infact it looks and runs like a billiard table.
The trouble is, there appears to be a lack of products to tackle this problem, mainly because of EU regulations I suspect.
The soil is free draining.
Does anyone know of a safe,natural remedy to try and solve this problem.

I think you'll find that most people here wouldn't support a chemical attack either, Tony, and the usual, natural method is to brush the casts off the grass. Worms are important for the soil structure for grass, or any other plant, and are the gardener's friend
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I agree with FairyGirl.
