Headland Keeps School Disease Free

March 16, 2018/in News, Press Release/by Louise Challiss

Headland Keeps School Disease Free: Thanks to help from Headland Amenity, the 17 hectares of grounds for rugby, tennis and cricket at Kings Bruton School have come through the winter of 2017 disease-free and stronger than ever before. For a relatively small school, they punch well above their weight when it comes to sport and the facilities they offer their 350 pupils.

Grounds Manager, Adie Davis, and his team of 6 groundstaff are kept busy looking after the facilities. “I have been familiar with Headland products for a long time and have enjoyed success with their programmes here at the school for a number of years. On our cricket outfields & rugby pitches we’ve been using Multigreen 28-0-0 which delivers results for the full 5-6 months it promises it will.” Applied in April and then again in September for strength through the autumn/winter, this is complemented on the fine turf areas by C-Complex in various formulations: 4-3-4 used during renovation work; 7-0-7 through the cricket playing season and 5-2-10 as a spring-starter.

On the cricket squares, Adie has found success with the combination of Multigreen Mini and Headland’s 20/20/30 non-pesticidal tank mix. “We apply the Multigreen Mini in early autumn to take us through the winter and then once a month between October and March we supplement this with a spray of the 20/20/30 enhanced plant health mix.” Headland’s industry-leading 20-20-30 mix combines Seamac ProTurf Fe and Liquid Turf Hardener plant protectants and Turfite elicitor that work together to strengthen the plant against disease. The combination of products applied at Kings Bruton delivers enhanced root development, disease resistance and strong colour. “This programme has kept all disease, including Fusarium and Dollar Spot, at bay – which I know groundsmen at other schools are suffering from.”

As the school heads towards its 500-year anniversary celebrations in 2019, Adie is delighted with the success achieved with their current nutritional regime. “I’ve worked closely with Headland’s Alex Hawkes, who is very knowledgeable, for a number of years and it’s thanks to him that we now have a combination of products that are really working. We get a lot of comments from staff, parents and local clubs that they’ve never seen turf quite like ours, our cricket areas in particular, which makes all the hard work worthwhile.”

New Agency For Adare Manor

New Agency For Adare Manor: As its major renovation programme nears completion, Adare Manor has appointed Performance54 as its exclusive golf marketing agency, with immediate effect.

Performance54 has been commissioned to create and manage an international golf PR and Communications programme around the launch of the new Tom Fazio-designed golf course. Its team of dedicated golf marketing experts will work with Adare Manor sales & marketing representatives, developing an impactful narrative to position the property in the minds of golfers around the world.

“We are delighted to be working with Performance 54 as we unveil this next chapter in Adare Manor’s legacy,” said Colm Hannon, Chief Executive Officer of Adare Manor. “The Golf Course at Adare Manor will provide an unforgettable experience for golfers when it launches this April. It has been masterfully designed to inspire, challenge, and captivate the most demanding golf enthusiasts in the world.”

Jed Moore, Performance54 Managing Director, commented: “We are delighted to be working with the team at Adare Manor. The name will be familiar to many golfers but, with the strategic investment made into this astonishing refurbishment, the golf course and hotel, alike, will immediately establish Adare Manor as a bucket list experience for discerning golfers at all levels of the game.”

Adare Manor re-opened to the public in November 2017, following an 18-month programme of redevelopment, which returned the historic Co. Limerick resort to five-star opulence.

Among the comprehensive improvements were the thorough refurbishment of the famous manor house, now a luxurious 104-bedroom hotel, and a complete overhaul of the golf course which, with each hole redesigned and reconstructed, now holds major ambitions of staging top-level tournament play over the years to come. Without question, the transformation has already seen the resort recognised as the finest Ireland has to offer.

Performance54 is a dedicated global golf sales and marketing agency, located in London and Singapore, providing a complete roster of services, including: Brand Development, PR and Communications, Event Management, Campaign Activation, and Sales and Trade Marketing. The company works on behalf of some of the world’s most recognised brands, destinations and events.
