65 Turfdry Limited Redwood House Woodville Road Hartshorne Swadlincote Derbyshire DE11 7ET UK Contact: Melvyn Taylor, Managing Director Tel: +44 7836 259133 melvyn@turfdry.com www.turfdry.com Turfdry has been at the forefront of golf course drainage design and installation for more than 25 years, and has over 75 satisfied UK golf course clients, including 10 of the current ‘Top One Hundred’ courses in England. At the heart of the company’s success has been its unique Turfdry drainage system using Hydraway Sportsdrain, a product that is technically superior to traditional plastic land drainage pipe. This is due to higher water-intake performance and the fact that, unlike conventional plastic pipe, it is effective when installed at minimal or even zero gradient, making it suitable for use on low-lying land or flood plains. In fact, the Turfdry drainage system has more than 20 years proven performance at zero gradient. Turfdry can transform clay-based sites that are not naturally suited to golf, as demonstrated by the £450,000 ‘tee to green’ scheme installed on the South course at The Rayleigh Club, Essex, UK, in 2014. In 2017, course owner Jamie Saitch said: “The product works, and works well, the planning and services given are exceptional, and I would recommend both to anyone looking to make their golf course an all-round better playing surface.” Turfgrass Block 1 Newtown Business & Enterprise Centre Newtownmountkennedy Co.
