What they have said about Harlech.
STRI
"It is an exemplar site in respect of best practice. Turf on all playing surfaces is dominated by finer bent and fescue turf types and the benefits they convey are very apparent at this time. Putting surfaces are firm, smooth and incredibly fast for late March. On the day after the visit they showed a Stimpmeter reading of 12 at a height of 6mm! The current management programme and the results it is bringing with it is the perfect demonstration that greenkeeping is a study of infertility and that the best possible year round results are produced by promoting the finer grasses within a supportive and consistent club framework".
Alistair Beggs STRI March 2006
