“TriSmart gives us confidence, consistency, and control—when it matters most.”
At The Wilmslow Golf Club water management is essential—especially during a demanding final season relying on a 30-year-old irrigation system.
Optimising water management with the right solution
With inconsistent coverage and limited control, Callum Goodhind, the Course Manager, knew he needed a solution that would optimise every drop of water and support turf health during periods of intense stress.
After extensive research into wetting agents, Callum selected H2Pro TriSmart for its proven ability to manage moisture in three key ways: penetration, movement, and retention.
This versatility meant he could streamline applications with one product, reduce the number of applications, and maintain consistent playing conditions across key surfaces.
Proven performance during a critical weekend
The results were clear. During a particularly hot and dry bank holiday weekend in 2024—when the irrigation system failed completely—TriSmart proved its value.
With targeted hand-watering and the support of TriSmart already in the programme, stressed greens recovered rapidly, while untreated areas remained under pressure. The difference was immediate and visually striking.
Efficiency gains beyond turf recovery
Beyond recovery and turf health, TriSmart delivered measurable efficiencies. Watering windows shortened, saving the team significant man-hours, and moisture levels remained stable between applications.
This allowed Callum and his team to focus on refining putting surfaces to tournament standards, rather than constantly reacting to drought stress.
Expanded use across the course
With a brand-new irrigation system now in place, TriSmart applications have expanded beyond greens and tees to include approaches and run-offs.
The season begins with a higher-rate application in early spring, followed by consistent monthly treatments—a schedule that ensures strong moisture control and plant resilience throughout the growing season.
Callum reflects on the impact: “TriSmart is a product that comes with clear data and trial work to give you the reassurance that it’s worth the investment to produce top-quality surfaces in the most efficient and effective way.”
Building knowledge and raising standards
Team development has also been a focus, with Callum educating staff on the role of moisture management in producing elite playing conditions. With TriSmart, the team has the confidence to push for higher performance, knowing the turf can withstand the added demands of a high-quality parkland course.
For Callum and the team at The Wilmslow Golf Club, TriSmart is more than a wetting agent—it’s a trusted part of the club’s strategy, delivering long-term value, enhanced turf performance, and peace of mind during even the most unpredictable weather conditions.
