H2Pro TriSmart delivers consistency and quality at Dundalk Golf Club

“Effective water management is absolutely crucial for maintaining high-quality turf, especially as part of our integrated turf management programme,” says Damian. “Our irrigation system is over 50 years old, so selecting the right wetting agent to complement it is essential.”

Finding a solution that delivers consistency

Damian turned to H2Pro TriSmart, a soil surfactant with proven biostimulant benefits, to improve consistency and reduce dry patches on greens. “We needed consistent moisture levels and better turf presentation, along with reduced labour and water usage. TriSmart promised exactly that, and it delivered.”

Dundalk Golf Club follows a targeted application schedule, starting with a double application of 20 L/ha in late March, followed by monthly applications of 10 L/ha through August. Damian quickly noticed improvements in turf health, including reduced drought stress, improved root development, and fewer dry patches.

Performance under pressure

“The real test came during our first year with TriSmart when we had major challenges with our ageing irrigation system,” Damian recalls.

“Despite these difficulties, our greens held up remarkably well. That’s when I knew TriSmart was making a significant difference.”

Since using TriSmart, Damian has observed notable reductions in manual irrigation and labour hours previously spent hand-watering. “It’s a reliable and versatile product—we’ve even tank-mixed it with foliar applications during busy spray windows, saving time and effort. We’ve also experienced less Anthracnose, suggesting a link between improved turf health and reduced disease pressures.”

Positive feedback and proven results

Members and colleagues have recognised the improvements too.

“We’ve received many compliments about the consistency and quality of our greens over the past three summers, and TriSmart has been a major factor in this positive feedback,” Damian notes.

Damian considers TriSmart to be a reliable, high-performing product that’s safe, compatible with a wide range of other treatments, and supported by extensive trial data. He has no hesitation in recommending TriSmart to fellow turf managers. “It consistently delivers excellent results and is very safe to use. I’d confidently recommend it to anyone aiming for dependable turf quality and better water management.”
