Top Golf Course Selects Rolawn Minster Pro Turf for Open
Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Course has recently used over 3,500 sq.m of Rolawn’s Minster Pro turf as part of its course preparations for the 2012 Open Championship.
Head greenkeeper Paul Smith said: “As part of our preparations for the 2012 Open Championship, we have made a number of improvements, including returfing part of the short course fairways and practice ground with Minster Pro, the existing turf being used for revetting a number of the 206 bunkers which pepper the course and greens.
“The past couple of years have been difficult with extremes of temperature which made it difficult to grow in any changes, but we are pretty much on top of it now and when they tee off my hard work is done, it’s just a case of fine tuning.”
