Thank you to the Royal Golf Dar Es Salam team and volunteers who simultaneously hosted two professional events - PGA TOUR Champion’s Trophy Hassan II AND LET’s Lalla Meryem Cup. The Players appreciated your dedication to the courses and to the competition. It was great to see kids, fans, and supporters engaged in showcasing the beautiful country of Morocco 🇲🇦. @ChampionsTour @TH2CLM @bmeente

ISM prep in the forest in full swing after month of aeration work #turf

[Simon Rees @SR89turf]

With multiple micro climates on site, we see individual greens move into and out of optimal growth rates interchangeably with the seasons. 6M of daily #clipvol & G/speed data we’re starting to observe some trends but there are many more layers Pro tip: don’t miss your PGR timing!

[Simon Rees @SR89turf]

Whilst the kikuyu is loving the June ☀️ the agrostis is telling us it’ll be ok with a bit of attention #turf

[Simon Rees @SR89turf]

Summer #turf works in the forest are much like spring works, just a tad more aggressive

[Simon Rees @SR89turf]

We call it ‘optimizing’ 🪒
