Three names from the amenity turf care sector joined forces to show a commitment to supporting women’s golf, by sponsoring the club that hosted this year’s Women’s Amateur Championship.

Agrovista Amenity, ICL and Syngenta provided the greenkeeping team at West Lancashire Golf Club with new Helly Hansen workwear for use during the championship, which took place August 25-29.

Although played behind closed doors this year due to COVID-19 restrictions, the tournament attracted an impressive line-up of talent. 

Head of commercial for Agrovista Amenity, Dan Hughes, said, “Course manager, Stuart Hogg has been a committed user of Syngenta and ICL technologies, building an excellent relationship with ICL’s Phil Collinson and our Amenity specialist, Gary Potter.

“As an organisation, Agrovista is keen to support customers where possible, and in a challenging year it was great to work with three keen partners to support women’s golf and provide the greenkeeping team with first class workwear, something they have appreciated given the week’s weather.”

Stuart attributes a programme which includes Syngenta’s Qualibra and ICL’s H2Pro TriSmart wetting agent for helping to maintain excellent water management of greens, fairways and surrounds.

Prior to the tournament, the club used a combination of Greenmaster Pro-Lite and Sierraform GT granular fertilisers as inputs into the greens to maximise tournament presentation.

“The technical support from Gary Potter and Phil Collinson was extremely helpful with the tournament preparation,” said Stuart.

“I and all the team are very grateful for the gesture of workwear which befits hosting such a high-profile tournament at The West Lancashire Golf Club.”
