Robert Barrett, Minehead & West Somerset Golf Club, Course Manager
"We have been transiting our greens to fescue for around 8 years now. Being a links golf course, we wanted to use a fescue species that was resilient to a high salt environment whilst creating a dense and nitrogen-efficient playing surface. Shoreline with its mixture of slenders has helped us progress to a fescue dominant sward."

Richie Ewan, Course Manager, Nairn Golf Club
"We have used Barenbrug’s Ultrafine 100 mix for a few years now, the ryegrass blend offers high wear tolerance when tightly mown, but still fits in aesthetically on a links course. The product has really helped maintain a consistent grass flow around the course, mainly used on walkways and high traffic pinch-points and it does a fantastic job."
Steve Robinson, Moortown Golf Club
"We have been using the Ultrafine 60 on our tees for a while now. With modern levels of play, we find the element of ryegrass in the mix gives fantastic recovery and resilience without any drop in performance."
