Visitors to GroundsFest 2026 will have the opportunity to be among the first in the UK to see the new Turf-Tidy 5000, as Redexim showcases its latest innovations on stand OSA230.

Making its UK debut following its launch earlier this year, the Turf-Tidy 5000 is the largest cut-and-collect machine in the Redexim range. Designed for large-scale turf maintenance, it combines flail mowing, scarifying, dethatching and debris collection in a single pass, helping contractors and grounds professionals maintain extensive areas quickly and efficiently while reducing downtime.

The Turf-Tidy 5000 joins the established Turf-Tidy 3000 and the compact Turf-Tidy 1100, giving visitors the chance to see the complete Turf-Tidy range together for the first time.

Whether maintaining sports facilities, parks, racecourses or large estates, there is now a Turf-Tidy solution suited to every scale of operation.

Alongside the new machine, Redexim will be showcasing a wide selection of equipment from across its professional turf maintenance portfolio.

Visitors can explore the renowned Verti-Drain® range, the aerators that have become synonymous with effective soil decompaction, as well as a selection of seeding equipment including the Multi-Seeder 1600, Speedseed 1500 and Overseeder 3D 1575 LV. The stand will also feature RINK top dressers, including the DS1600 EVO, designed to deliver accurate and consistent material application across sports turf and amenity surfaces.

Paul Langford, Director of Commercial Operations at Redexim, said: “Bringing the Turf-Tidy 5000 to the UK at GroundsFest lets us showcase the complete Turf-Tidy range side by side for the first time. It’s the machine our customers have been asking for – the capacity to tackle large-scale cut-and-collect work without constant emptying – and seeing it alongside the 3000 and 1100 demonstrates just how comprehensive the range has become.”

Whether you’re looking to improve aeration, overseeding, top dressing or cut-and-collect operations, a visit to the Redexim stand will provide the opportunity to see some of the industry’s leading turf maintenance equipment up close and speak to the team about finding the right solution for your requirements.

Celebrate Thank A Greenkeeper Day on 8 September

The British and International Golf Greenkeepers Association (BIGGA) is inviting the golf industry to celebrate the sixth annual International Thank A Greenkeeper Day on Tuesday 8 September.

Celebrate Thank A Greenkeeper Day on 8 September

The global campaign recognises the skill, commitment and hard work of the professionals who prepare and manage golf courses around the world.

BIGGA is encouraging golfers, club members, managers, owners, suppliers, governing bodies and anyone who values the game to show their appreciation, whether in person, through their club or on social media using #ThankAGreenkeeper.

Greenkeeping has developed into a highly skilled and continually evolving profession. Alongside the preparation and care of playing surfaces, greenkeepers lead teams, manage significant budgets and infrastructure, protect wildlife habitats and help golf facilities respond to environmental and climatic pressures.

Technology is also transforming how courses are managed, with greenkeepers increasingly using autonomous machinery, sophisticated data and analytics, precision irrigation and artificial intelligence to support informed and sustainable decision-making.

Thank A Greenkeeper Day provides an opportunity to improve understanding of this work and recognise the essential contribution greenkeeping teams make to the enjoyment and long-term success of golf.

Clubs are encouraged to mark the occasion by introducing their greenkeeping team to members, sharing behind-the-scenes content or arranging a breakfast or lunch for staff. Golfers can also offer a personal message of thanks, while industry organisations, suppliers and media outlets can use their platforms to highlight the knowledge and professionalism found within the sector.

BIGGA is supporting the campaign alongside the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA), the Australian Sports Turf Managers Association (ASTMA), the Canadian Golf Superintendents Association (CGSA) and the Federation of European Golf Greenkeepers Associations (FEGGA).

Together, the organisations represent more than 31,000 golf course management professionals across 78 countries. During the 2025 campaign, messages shared across social media reached almost 20 million followers worldwide.

Support does not need to be limited to one day. Recognition from golfers and clubs can have a lasting impact on morale and help create a culture in which greenkeepers receive the respect and appreciation their expertise deserves.

Join the conversation throughout September using #ThankAGreenkeeper. International supporters may also use #ThankASuper.

Social media assets to use to support #ThankAGreenkeeper are available on the BIGGA website.
