GolfLinx solutions have been developed specifically to deal with the increasing pressures golf course Superintendents and Greens Keepers face to conserve water resources, reduce costs while producing high quality turf to improve player subscriptions. Capitalizing on parent company AquaSpy’s successful water management products in Agriculture and the environment, the GolfLinx solution gives the management to those best placed to manage, allowing them to take the guess work out of golf course watering.

The all-in-one solution allows golf course Superintendents and Greens Keepers to monitor soil moisture content and weather conditions, then use the latest software to determine how much water is required at all zones on the golf course. This data can be uploaded to a local PC or PDA to enable precise and up-to-date water management decisions. A web based solution will also be available shortly. The result is greater information which creates smarter irrigation management decisions along with significantly improved turf quality, cost savings and higher profits.

It is imperative for turf quality to be maintained to the highest standard possible, whilst minimizing the water used. Because the GolfLinx solution is applied to each of the different hydro-zones on a golf course compared with the watering calendar-schedule approach previously applied in the past, it enables smarter water use. The amount of water in the soil is clearly 'visible' enabling more to be applied only when needed, significantly reducing over-watering. This encourages root growth thereby making the turf stronger. It also reduces a host of associated costs including pumping, fertilizer, pesticide and maintenance costs, with up to a 30% reduction in water costs. The cost savings are significant. Typically the return on investment for a GolfLinx solution is very quickly realized.
