Hybrid Grass Technology Successfully Trialled at Long Ashton Golf Club

Our technology and products address the needs of both golfers an and groundskeepers, offering:

- Reduced damage to tees and walkway areas
- Increased facility usage

STRI SUCCESS

SIS Grass Lite, our 90mm hybrid surface product, was subjected to a series of tests conducted by one of the world’s leading sports turf consultancies – Sports Turf Research Institute (STRI). Key findings revealed:‘

A 90MM STITCHING DEPTH PRODUCES A GOOD STANDARD SURFACE, WHICH CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY RENOVATED.’

As part of the trial at Long Ashton Golf Club, SIS Grass was installed at 90mm across different spacings onto the tee on the par 3 13th. SISGrass Lite has fibres stitched at a depth of 90mm, with 10mm of fibre above the surface. This means the product can be stitched into shallower, partly constructed pitch surface profiles, benefiting golfers by giving them a more consistent surface, leading to better playability.

Blending naturally

James Braithwaite, Course Manager at Long Ashton Golf Club, said that he was extremely pleased with the results of the trial:

‘Since being stitched with SISGrass, the tee on the par 3 13th at Long Ashton has seen improved surface consistency and stability. Surface damage is reduced through play, extending the usage and improving recovery time with less repair work. The SISGrass fibres blend naturally into the grass sward, improving the appearance of the tee after usage.’
