Every golf course has its problem patches especially when the weather turns dry, and that has certainly been the case in some areas of the country. With long range forecasters hedging their bets as to the outcome for the remainder of the summer its time to consider what mixtures will tackle the vagaries of the weather - whatever the outcome. With mixed forecasts as far as rainfall and temperatures are concerned, it's time to take a proven option and choose a grass seed mixture that deals with both drought and waterlogging. That's when RTF comes into its own.  

Areas such as footpaths and clubhouse perimeters where players congregate are typically left bare because of heavy footfall regardless of your best maintenance efforts. And no matter what you reseed or returf it with, achieving full and consistent cover is an ongoing battle.

So if regular reseeding and/or returfing fails to withstand heavy wear and stress, it's time to call on RTF - either as grass seed in BAR 30 RTF or as RTF Turffrom one of our accredited turf producers.

Thanks to its remarkable deep rooting capabilities, together with its prolific rhizome (underground stem) production compared to other rhizomatous species, such as red fescues, RTF offers outstanding tensile strength and recovery. While red fescue roots reach just 15 to 20cms into soil, RTF roots delve a staggering 1.5metres underground, equipping it with excellent tolerance to both waterlogging and drought.

RTF's water efficiency has earned it the prestigious Waterwise Marque. With its denser sward that prevents moisture loss via evaporation from the soil's surface and deep-rooting ability that finds moisture where other grasses fail, it became the first grass seed to be applauded for its water conservation capacity
