The Air2G2 Air Inject is already making an impact as far away as South Africa, where it is effectively tackling problem greens at some of the country’s premier golf courses.
Mossel Bay Golf Club is located in the beautiful Eastern Cape. It is the only golf course in South Africa where you can see the sea from every “T”and home club of the well-known British Open Winner Louis Oostehuizen.
The club decided it was the right machine for them following a demonstration day held by our local South African machinery dealer Nanquip and its sales branch Nanturf.
Nanquip’s turf expert Marcel Sonnekus successful demonstrated the Air2G2 at a nearby turf nursery, where he was able to aerate the ground deeper than had ever been done before. The turf professionals present were astonished when they could see movement beneath the green as the air travelled through the profile.
Marcel explains “After that first demonstration Campey’s Export Sales Manager, Dave Harrison and I carried out at Fancourt Links, Mossel Bay Golf Club phoned to book the use of the Air2G2. They explained that for several years the greens staff has battled with four problem greens due to soil compaction layering and inefficient drainage.” The Air2G2 would be specifically used on these four greens.
According to Marcel “The results after using the Air2G2 were really amazing, with the greens responding immediately showing a massive improvement in water drainage. The club has been using it to aerate all of the greens on a regular basis ever since.”
