Matt started on the GenNext program in April of 2012. At just over 6,000 ft above sea level, the bentgrass typically
doesn’t start quick in the spring. Matt
saw the bentgrass take off after a few GenNext applications. He knew he was onto something special when
the greens were perfect for a big tournament they host every June. Typically the greens are still waking up at
that time due to the elevation and soil temperatures. The green speeds and quality of the putting
surfaces were outstanding for that tournament, and have stayed that way
throughout the season.
Being a poa/bent mix,
the greens would typically require multiple fungicide applications throughout
the season. Typically the greens at
Cheyenne Country Club require at least 4 separate fungicide applications during
July and August. This season required
just 1.
A phenomenal observation that Matt and the staff had was the
fact that old cups were not visible more than 2 days after being moved and ball
marks were healing extremely quickly.
Hand watering was also almost eliminated. Fall aerification provided another stunning
discovery. The greens were aerified on
Tuesday August 28th and Wednesday August 29th. Matt received a phone call from his assistant
the following Monday saying they have to mow 3 days before they had
planned. Once mowed they saw the greens
were completely healed, I believe the word that was use was “perfect.”
Matt is just one of the many success stories out there
coming from guys on the GenNext products.
They know first-hand the turf benefits and what these products can
do.
