26th July 2017 – Turf Science Live

The opportunities turf managers have to learn and network these days are incredible and TSL was no exception.

This years event took place at the stunning Royal Automobile Club in Surrey and was attended by around 100 Greenkeepers, Reps and Turf Managers. The event is sponsored by ICL, Syngenta and Bernhard’s grinders with some assistance from the STRI., these companies design and manufacture a range of fertilisers and chemicals as well as helping everyone in the industry with planning, strategies and solutions.

At the event there are 6 stations where groups of 15 or so spend 30 minutes learning about: planning fungicide applications, slow release fertilisers, dew suppressants, a new fungicide and there was also a grinding exhibition. In the evening there was a BBQ and Greenkeepers had a chance to ‘talk shop’.

Even though we spend a great deal of money with these companies, it is fantastic that we have these opportunities to learn and it just goes to show what a great industry we work in. A great video was made of the day with a cameo from Sean Mclean, the Course Manager at Princes Golf Club!
