PROMOTED Tahoma 31 Booth: 2111 Perched atop a mountain at 1,730 feet in north Georgia, USA, legendary architect Seth Raynor’s nearly 100-year-old design for the Lookout Mountain Club recently came to fruition. According to Lookout Mountain’s director of grounds Gary Guilloz, who led the grow-in of the recent renovation, the project’s success was due, in part, to the Tahoma 31 bermudagrass selected for tees, approaches, bunker surrounds and collars. Tahoma 31 provides cold tolerance, early spring green-up and the ability to stay greener longer in the autumn. Restored to Raynor’s original plans by architects Tyler Rae and Kyle Franz, Tahoma 31 helped solve challenges the older grasses never fully overcame. “Because Tahoma 31 stays green longer than 419, we feel it allows us 60 more days of good performance,” said Guilloz. “And it took half the time to get roots established.” Syngenta Booth: 4037 Syngenta has expanded its presence in agronomy by offering precision data through Spiio soil sensor technology.
