ARTIFICIAL SURFACES
Above and above right : Hickleton GC after & before
We like to think we offer a more personal service than the larger companies and are always on call for any advice needed .
“ In addition to the artificial grass side , we also supply all aspects of netting . This ranges from single to multiple bays of practice nets with the steel cages which come in 42mm diameter steel poles , to the 200m long perimeter net fencing to prevent ball damage to roads , houses etc .
“ We like to think we offer a more personal service than the larger companies and are always on call for any advice needed . We will either supply only or supply and fit any aspect of the services , be it a single mat to a multi mat area with divider netting .
“ We have numerous happy customers around the whole of the UK & Ireland , but are now expanding into The EU ” Duncan added .
One of the important aspects is that we have artificial turf suitable for all tee dimensions .
The Northumberland GC
“ We supply a variety of custom-built synthetic grass surfaces suitable for any number of uses within the Golf Club . Anything from covering a slippy & uneven patio area to a large outside area suitable for Wedding functions etc
“ By installing our artificial golf grass , clubs will be able to provide their members and visitors with play all-yearround . Whether it be grass & matting for your Swing / Fitting room , or a Practice Putting green outside .
“ Practice putting for professional tuition and pre-play practice are essential facilities for golf clubs and practice ranges these days . When usage is heavy and the weather is poor , most natural grass putting greens are available for short periods only . “ Our artificial golf putting grass will solve the problem and has a Stimpmeter speed between eight and 10 .”
Happy customers stretch from Truro GC in the South West , to Nairn GC in the North of Scotland . In between those two clubs we have over 700 happy clubs dotted all over the UK & Southern Ireland .
Ellesmere PGA pro Anthony Millar , another happy customer , explained : “ Over the winter period it is frustrating to close the course due to the winter tee boxes being covered by ice . After installing the County Tee Grass we have eliminated the immediate danger to members , who can now not only enjoy golf all year round , but can tee off from a fantastic winter tee area . “ The members love them .
Duncan Clarkson also added that County Sports Surfaces will once again be exhibiting at the BIGGA BTME at Harrogate from 25th Jan to 27th Jan 2022 . After the 2 year wait from Jan 2020 til now , we can ’ t wait to meet up with old friends & hopefully meet some more . We will be on our stand no 318 in the Green Zone . We will be delighted to welcome visitors to our stand & to offer any advice for any current or future projects your club may have .
