Turf

Optimising playing conditions for members and visitors alike is a key goal for all golf course managers. To achieve this whilst at the same time minimising the application of chemicals, adapting to the challenges of Climate Change – in particular the heavy periods of rainfall and associated flooding now experienced at many courses, addressing the threats of new pest and disease incidences while still meeting player’s expectations can be aided by the adoption of sustainable turf management techniques.  In this section you will find a series of case studies and factsheets detailing how some clubs have adopted sustainable turf management practices, successfully implementing solutions to meet a number of these challenges.
