It’s not just a game. It’s not just a grass. WHEN IT COMES TO GOLF, SIR GRANGE CAN DO IT ALL.

-

Sir Grange is a fine-leaf Zoysia Matrella that has unique qualities. Fantastic droughttol­erance, high shade and wear-tolerance, combined with a very fine, deep green leaf, make it the perfect short-mown surface. What separates Sir Grange from other grasstypes in the golf world? Density and leaf structure. Sir Grange is approximat­ely twice as dense as couch and kikuyu, meaning it has roughly twice as many plants in any given area. Further to this, Sir Grange leaf blades grow directly upwards from the surface, unlike couch grass which grows outwards from a root or runner. These traits ensure golfers get a better ball lie on Sir Grange and better ball speed in play.

DIVOT RECOVERY

Due to a strong and vigorous root system, Sir Grange can withstand wear and divots much better than other grass-types. This also leads to the sheer density of the plant that helps cover divots quicker – meaning a lot less time spent on divot-maintenanc­e.

WEED RESISTANCE

Sir Grange’s superior density also makes it much more difficult for weeds to invade which is music to the groundskee­per’s ears.

SHADE TOLERANCE

The superior shade tolerance of Sir Grange makes it ideal for shaded greens and fairways that exist on most golf courses; where other grasses tend to struggle.

MOWING HEIGHTS

Sir Grange looks fantastic at a variety of mowing heights. Sir Grange can be mown short for when we’re talking fairways and green-surrounds-height, or even unmown in the rough – Sir Grange can handle mowingmain­tenance at these varying levels without much in the way of scalping or bruising that can occur on other grass-types.

LOW INPUTS & REQUIREMEN­TS

Sir Grange has a very high drought-tolerance that significan­tly reduces water usage. It also requires 75% less nitrogen and up to 50% less mowing compared to other grasstypes, saving the golf industry valuable time and money.
