GOLF


I’m not a big user of the stimpmeter - I prefer a putter- but our greens tend to run at between 9.5 and 11 year-round. I tend to avoid allowing them to get higher than that, unless it’s for a specific event


”


my gauge on which company might be the best fit to update that base-layer technology, for our style of bunkers.


Our greens are predominantly a mix of poa and bent and, of course, we’re trying to introduce more bent incrementally. I visited the Netherlands last November


with Ray Hunt (ALS) and Matt Gresty (Limagrain) to look at and discuss products that they had to offer, as I was keen to give them a try. We’ve gone with their all-bent


mix. I met with Matt a few weeks ago to inform him that we’d got a great strike rate from our last overseeding as I was over the moon with the results that we achieved. That was really important after this summer, to help us recover from the heat stress. It integrated well, as we have a history of seeding with all-bent. We haven’t overseeded the tees now for some years. I didn’t think we needed to, as the sward was resiliently good across the


board, but it is something that I will be looking to once again due to increased levels of golf we have witnessed over the last number of seasons.
