Harrogate, England: Campey Sales Director Simon Gumbrill will deliver a talk on the changing techniques for fine turf maintenance across Europe at next month’s BTME (BIGGA Turf Management Exhibition) 2015.
The seminar, to be held on January 20, will look at how new methods of turf management have rapidly developed in European football stadiums and training centres – and how clubs such as Real Madrid have perfected environmentally friendly and efficient techniques to remove unwanted thatch and rogue grasses.
Gumbrill will discuss how you can adapt these methods to make real changes to golf courses in order to promote preferred grass species.
Some of the current practices implemented by international groundsmen have also encouraged a greater refinement in the way they manage turf. This has proved to have a benefit to the golf course environment which requires greater finesse and aesthetic awareness.
Campey Turf Care Systems, a Full Business Member of the Asian Golf Industry Federation, will exhibit many of the machines used to achieve the results as described by Gumbrill in his talk.
The Koro Field TopMaker with Universe rotors will feature heavily, as will the Air2G2 which has been well received in its first year in the United Kingdom.
The new VGR Topchanger offers an alternative approach using the power of water to de-compact the soil and create an excellent, healthy environment for grass roots to thrive.
Other products on display will cover all aspects of natural turf maintenance including the Dakota 410 in special edition livery, Vredo Super Compact seeder, Imants SandCat and the Imants ShockWave 155.
