Campey Sales Director Simon Gumbrill will be delivering a talk at BTME 2015 in Harrogate entitled, 'How changes in fine turf maintenance techniques employed in sporting stadiums across Europe can benefit golf'.

The seminar to be held on Tuesday 20 January at 2.15pm will look at how new methods of turf management have rapidly developed in European football stadiums and training centres. And how world renowned clubs such as Real Madrid have perfected environmentally friendly and efficient techniques to remove unwanted thatch and rogue grasses.

Simon will be discussing how greenkeepers can adapt these methods to make real changes to their golf courses in order to promote their preferred grass species.

Some of the current practices implemented by international Groundsmen have also encouraged a greater refinement in the way they manage turf. This has proven to have a benefit to the golf course environment which requires greater finesse and aesthetic awareness.
