Fibreturf Survives in Monsoon Conditions

When soft ground on approaches to greens caused havoc for golfers in Singapore, Fibreturf International placed them back on solid ground.  Torrential downpours and poor soil drainage in Singapore gave a persistent problem for the owners of Laguna National Golf and Country Club.  Soft, waterlogged collars around the greens caused inconsistent play characteristics and even the lightest traffic posed a serious problem for greenkeepers who were struggling to keep the course in reasonable condition.

Trials with Fibreturf reinforced rootzone proved that Fibresand International had a tried and tested solution to their problem which lead to the system being developed on a number of their greens and driving range.  The use of Fibreturf can have a dramatic effect in reducing surface damage due to the tearing action of spiked footwear which would normally lead to a damaged surface.  It can also help to reduce wear and compaction from golf buggies and maintenance vehicles.

A combination of technology and natural materials, Fibreturf reinforced rootzone provides a synthetically enhanced natural grass surface which can be used in all weather.
