Consistent turf quality with H2Pro TriSmart at Trentham Golf Club

“Water management is essential for the consistency and quality of our greens, tees, and approaches during the season,” says Ed. “Selecting the right wetting agent is key to achieving the standards we strive for.”

H2Pro TriSmart is a soil surfactant with proven biostimulant health benefits that improves moisture retention, distribution, and infiltration in the soil. After several years of using H2Pro TriSmart, Ed has been impressed by the consistency it delivers across the course.

Consistency and flexibility through the season

“Consistency across the green is key for us,” he adds. “We want a wetting agent that works as well from the first day it’s applied to the last day before the next application. TriSmart has exceeded our expectations in that regard.”

TriSmart stood out to Ed due to its balanced blend of three technologies.

“It gives us the penetration we need during wetter periods, excellent spreading capabilities throughout the season, and just the right moisture-holding capacity when it’s warmer. It’s a great ‘all-rounder’.”

Unlike other products that require frequent reapplication or struggle to provide consistent moisture, TriSmart’s advanced formulation has allowed Ed and his team to rely on a single product throughout the entire season without compromising results. “It’s the only wetting agent that has provided us with the level of consistency and efficiency we need,” Ed says. “We’re able to save time and money, while still maintaining excellent course conditions.”

Ed applies TriSmart at 10 l/ha, starting in early April and continuing at 4-week intervals until September.

“We don’t see any dry patches whatsoever when using TriSmart, moisture consistency is superb, and the turf health is outstanding. Our greens perform at their best, even in the heat of summer.”

Trusted performance and practical benefits

The product made an immediate impact when Ed saw firsthand how TriSmart kept the greens in top condition. “I knew it was the right product for our 130-year-old push-up greens when I didn’t have to worry about dry patches, even when temperatures were above 30 degrees with drying winds in summer 2023. I’ve completely trusted TriSmart ever since.”

Beyond performance, TriSmart also offers significant cost and time-saving benefits. “The price is competitive with other market leaders, and the low rate of 10 l/ha fits perfectly with our limited storage capacity,” Ed explains. “We’ve been able to focus on other important tasks, saving valuable time and reducing labour costs.”

Members and colleagues have also noticed the difference. “We pride ourselves on consistently good greens, whether it’s for the seniors on a Wednesday or an England Golf Championship over three days,” Ed shares. “We often get compliments on the course, and our wetting agent selection and programmed approach play a big part in that.”

If someone asked about the impact of TriSmart, Ed would describe it as: “A fantastic product—affordable, reliable, and a game-changer when you need it most!”

Ed has no hesitation in recommending TriSmart. “It’s safe, easy to use, and delivers the consistency we need to produce great playing surfaces, no matter what nature throws at us.”
