Ryan Gall, winner of The Amenity Sprayer Operator of the Year award 2025

Last year’s winner, Ryan Gall of Loch Lomond Golf Club in Scotland exemplified excellence in sustainable practices and environmental stewardship at this iconic Scottish golf club.

Notable for his success was the attention to preparation and pre-emptive actions even before he starts spraying. Ryan understood the objective of each application, and how he could use his skills to fine tune techniques to ensure the maximum product would reach the desired target.
