GOLF COURSES encourages root development, helping create stronger and more resilient playing surfaces.
For Jordan, the most noticeable improvement has been the consistency and density of the greens.
“ The density of the turf is unbelievable,” he says.“ It’ s almost like a carpet. It’ s thicker, tighter and sits a lot straighter without that lateral growth. It just creates a much nicer playing surface.”
Jordan has even experimented with winter applications of Attraxor – a decision that has delivered positive results on Airdrie’ s free-draining, sandbased greens.
“ We took a bit of a risk the first year trying it through the winter, but we noticed the ball roll was so much smoother,” he explains.“ Coming into the season the surfaces were already in a much better position.”
Another key factor behind the programme’ s success has been the support from Agrovista Amenity’ s Technical Sales Manager Stewart Carbray. The relationship has developed to the point where the club now operates a full course programme with Agrovista as its sole supplier.
“ We’ ve got a full programme with them now for greens, tees and everything else – granular fertilisers, wetting agents, fungicides, the lot,” says Jordan.“ Using Agrovista as a sole supplier just makes sense for us.”
More importantly, Jordan values the advice and honesty he receives from the team.
“ Stewart is fantastic, he’ s a huge help. Because he’ s been a greenkeeper previously, he understands what you’ re going through. It’ s not just a sales relationship.”
He adds:“ Stewart isn’ t going to sell you something just for the sake of it. If he doesn’ t think you need a product, he’ ll say so. That level of trust is massive.”
With a growing portfolio of products and continued technical support, Agrovista Amenity is helping Jordan ensure that Airdrie’ s historic course continues to move forward.
“ As a course manager you need products that perform and people you can trust,” he says.“ With Agrovista Amenity, we’ ve got both.”
