With greenkeepers under ever increasing pressure to provide the best surfaces they can whenever they can, creating an optimum environment for turf growth is ever more important. Many of our oldest golf courses were designed and built on open, barren landscapes which we now associated with links and heathland courses with limited vegetation to impinge on turf quality.

Tree planting and natural succession has markedly altered the nature and character of many courses, often seriously compromising the quality of the putting and playing surfaces.
