Win a trip to
Las Vegas
Take the Primo Maxx Fairway Challenge
and win a trip to the Golf Industry Show
(GIS) in Las Vegas 2012
GOLF course managers and greenkeepers are
being invited to take part in The Primo Maxx
Fairway Challenge, to witness the fairway
quality improvement from a summer
programme of Primo Maxx and the new water
soluble fertilizer from Scotts, Sportsmaster
WSF High N, and there’s the chance to win a
trip to the Golf Industry Show (GIS) in Las
Vegas 2012.
The Primo Maxx Fairway Challenge,
organised by Scotts Professional and
Syngenta, gives turf managers the opportunity
to use a programme of Primo Maxx and the
new Scotts Sportsmaster WSF High N fertiliser
on one selected fairway, and to score the
results against an untreated fairway. The
‘before’ and ‘after’ assessments will be made
by the greenkeeper and club secretary or golf
professional.
The Challenge will involve a programme of
three Primo Maxx applications, each tankmixed
with Scotts Sportsmaster WSF High N
fertilizer. The Scotts Sportsmaster WSF range
consists of three high quality premium foliar
fertilizers, for enhanced foliar and root
nutrient uptake. The range covers all turf
feeding requirements and seasons.
Fairway quality improvements from the
combined Primo Maxx and turf nutrition
programme will be judged on selected
attributes important to individual
greenkeepers, including
sward density, mowing
reduction, colour,
drought resistance, divot
recovery, root
development, wear tolerance and cutting
pattern retention.
Syngenta and Scotts are so confident that
course managers will see a beneficial result,
that they are offering a ‘Money-Back
Guarantee’* on the Primo Maxx Fairway
Challenge investment.
All entries will also be entered into a free
Prize Draw, with the winner receiving travel,
accommodation and entrance for two to the
world-leading US Golf Industry Show.
Syngenta Turf & Landscape Portfolio
Manager, Rod Burke, highlights Primo Maxx is
now widely used on golf greens and tees. “For
those already using Primo Maxx on fairways
the primary objective has been to simplify
management and give greater flexibility
through reduced mowing requirement.
However, we have had repeated comments
that the turf quality of fairways has been
significantly enhanced with the Primo Maxx
programme and the right nutrition.”
“These improvements have also been
identified by the club management and
players, which can help course managers gain
the financial commitment to deliver better
overall turf quality across the course.”
Ed Carter, Scotts Professional National Key
Accounts and Development Manager, added:
“The prize of a trip to the Golf Industry Show is
an amazing experience to see the very latest
advances in turf management, and identify
opportunities to improve turf quality.”
The Primo Maxx Fairway Challenge is open
to all greenkeepers and course managers
across England, Scotland and Wales. They
