Germinal Amenity and top UK greenkeepers believe that proactive seeding through seasonal overseeding can produce golf greens that thrive without needing fungicides.

Discover how summer overseeding can be a game-changer by outcompeting Poa annua with creeping bentgrasses that are ideal for close mowing.

Proactive seeding can be used in a spring overseeding strategy to outcompete the disease-prone Poa annua without needing fungicides.

Cold-seeding is the practice of applying new seed to an established sward in the late autumn or early spring when soil temperatures are below those required for immediate germination. 

Fertilisers: Grasses should be fed during the growing season to encourage natural growth but not to force or stimulate unnecessary growth especially early in the year.

Golf Tees: Tees should always be designed so they can be maintained easily with reasonably sized equipment. Keeping a tee in good condition requires constant remedial work which can result in excessive wear.  Therefore, the larger the tee, the less the effect of wear will be.

The sheer volume of foot traffic causes many problems with maintenance, particularly on older golf courses that were never built to withstand such continuous heavy use.
