NIKANTI GOLF CLUB - REAPING BENEFITS OF RECENT IRRIGATION UPGRADE
The golf course design at Nikanti Golf Club is not your typical flat course as many in the Bangkok area are. The course features significant undulations in the fairways, roughs and even some greens with large runoffs from many of the elevated greens. The irrigation system in conditions such as these requires an even higher degree of control to have the capability to adapt the application rate to meet the diverse conditions.
MLSN @ NIKANTI GC. REDUCING EXPENSES AND INPUTS SINCE 2016
Is it possible to reduce fertiliser expenses by 69%? I certainly wouldn't have thought so 2 years ago. I used to dig my heels in a little at monthly P&L meetings when management would ask to reduce our expenses, but once I started to embrace it as a challenge, it was like new motivation! To maintain our surfaces at the same high standard or better, for a fraction of the price.
