From the outset Danish Lubker Golf Resort only wanted the best, starting with course architect Robert Trent Jones II and continuing with four of our machines.

The Imants ShockWave 155, Air2G2, Koro Field TopMaker with scarifying rotor and Koro Recycling Dresser (RCD) are both used on the picturesque course by Spencer Lloyd-Pye, golf course superintendent at the resort in charge of maintaining the 40 greens; including a 9 hole academy course 2 putting greens a chipping green and a nursery green in addition to the 27 hole course.

The course is designed in a clover formation making up three loops consisting of Sand, Sky and Forest, providing a varying good golf experience for players of all levels set in the natural scenic beauty of the Djurslands.

With this number of greens to maintain Spencer decided the Air2G2 would be the perfect machine to use for aeration as it creates no surface disruption. At the same time also knowing the Koro Recycling Dresser would be an ideal match for his course as it combines efficiency with recycling existing goodness in the soil.

“The Air2G2 is an essential piece of machinery for us here at Lubker Golf Resort as it’s the only way we can do effective subsurface aeration as we don’t allow tractors or heavy machinery onto the greens,” he said.

“And as the weather in Denmark is very seasonal it means we don’t have to disrupt the surface to aerate as much in the golf season, so it helps us to keep our customers happy.”

Lubker is a sand capped golf course so the Koro Recycling Dresser is perfect for all areas to just freshen the surfaces and allow water penetration.

As well as looking out for the members interests, Spencer is also delighted at the reduced amount of top dressing used on the course following the use of the Koro Recycling Dresser. The action of the RCD; redistributing soil from the rootzone across the surface while aerating vertically and horizontally, is an efficient way of re-using the valuable properties in the soil.

“We use it particularly on our tees, semi roughs and the path ends and being able to adjust the depth from two inches down to six inches is perfect to avoid any layering.

“It has also halved my top dressing requirements per annum so it’s paying for itself whilst doing great work on our course.”
