@Paul_Larsen_10 @Tru_Turf We have been really pleased with it in testing and know iwith the three roller set up that it will make a difference in presentation and plant health. We will be releasing pricing soon and for golf courses it will have a trailer option as well.

Great interest in this new product at the show. Ready for release in 2026. As an introductory unit for a golf course that doesn’t roll or to enhance your current rolling operations, this unit with its 3 x 5 inch rollers will be a great addition to your course maintenance.

Great to see all the weekend experts making comments on socials. Their only success has been growing mould in their bathrooms!

Head MCC Curator Matthew Page “was in a state of shock” after 20 wickets on day one on his Boxing Day pitch..

But is defending leaving the grass length at 10mm, saying it was going to lead to a better pitch on days 3 and 4 when the weather turned hotter.

[Nick Thornton @NickTGolf]

Another throwing peanuts from the cheap seats. How do we get to a stage where people that think they have a platform can call for an industry pro to get the sack. Many factors that go into a 2 day test. Players, conditions, style of play and the pitch. Its sport. It happens.

[Chris Smith @chrissmithonair]

There are no players in this #Ashes2025 test match who deserve dumping, none! But the #MCG curator Matt Page should be sacked before this Test is over!!!!
(If that's even possible seeing that the game won't last till 6pm today!)
What a shocking spectacle. He's made some very average bowlers look like superstars. And some superstar batsmen look grade level. Thanks for stuffing up the series and a once great #BoxingDay2025 Test. Appalling. I'm off to the beach. @2SM1269

[Nick Thornton @NickTGolf]

@HarfSerious @alex_mangov @MichaelVaughan Plenty of balls played at the should have been left. Usman hooking on second ball was crazy. Still 3 days to go. It’s ok to shoulder arms every now and again.

@Carl_Schimenti @turfmonkeyboy @chuck_stccc @maggie_reiter Now there’s a concept!

[Nick Thornton @NickTGolf]

@chuck_stccc @Carl_Schimenti @maggie_reiter Would be a full time gig!!!

🎙 Tru-Turf Super Series Chapter 16: Matthew Perry, Emirates Golf Club

Video: https://t.co/Z1JQExcUcH

Audio: https://t.co/McnPRodlTn

On the eve of the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship, Emirates Golf Club Superintendent Matthew Perry joins us to talk preparation, precision, and the quiet rhythm behind championship turf.

With the AAC teeing off tomorrow, Matthew shares how his team has been balancing tournament readiness with long-term plant health — from alternating schedules to maintaining a consistent Rolling program as part of their preventative disease strategy.

Rolling, he explains, isn’t just for speed — it’s what keeps the greens smooth, true, and healthy through the pressure of back-to-back events, including the upcoming Dubai Desert Classic.

🎧 Listen now to hear how consistency, teamwork, and simple daily rolling shape world-class performance under Dubai’s demanding conditions.

Article published in the Greenkeeping magazine - September issue 💯

If we truly want to help the people who keep our courses alive, we need to think bigger — about what really eases their workload, lowers their stress, and improves the health of the turf they care for. One of the most effective ways we can do that is to change the conversation from doing more to doing better and working harder to working smarter. And nothing embodies that more than the idea of Roll More, Mow Less.
