Great time in Utrecht at the EIGCA Annual Meeting. Proud to be a partner and part of this global community. Appreciated the golf, meetings, and especially the dinners—thank you for the friendships and collaboration. @EIGCA @PureSeed_RPMS

Another great day at the EIGCA annual meeting. Golf today was at De Pan—our second Harry Colt course in two days. The standout: camaraderie with EIGCA members on the #2 course in continental Europe.⛳️ @EIGCA @PureSeed_RPMS

What an incredible day at the EIGCA golf tournament. Hilversumsche Golf Club is an absolute gem—classic Harry Colt design. We are grateful for the experience and the great company throughout! @EIGCA @PureSeed_RPMS

Teeth of the Dog’s Pate-led renovation is pairing iconic design with modern performance—featuring Pure Dynasty® seeded paspalum as the wall-to-wall turfgrass. Consistent play. Salt tolerance. Sustainable future. 🔗 tr.ee/0eIYOH @PureSeed_RPMS

Thinking about @PlatinumTE yesterday. I was wondering why other courses don't consider it for greens grass ever really. We actually increased smooth, true and firm for an outside group in the afternoon. Intentional speed reduction with the hope of more putts and fun being made for our out of town guests. I got so many great comments on course prep and presentation at the after party from the guests and even our members who play them at a quicker pace normally. This range of the Paspalum performance would not be possible without paying attention to the metrics from #GS3. #DATAMATTAS

Sustainable golf in Egypt. 🇪🇬🌱 Hidden Coves GC at Somabay uses renewable energy, desalinated irrigation, and Pure Dynasty® seeded paspalum to create a truly sustainable turfgrass system along the Red Sea coast. bit.ly/4dfHrUE @PureSeed_RPMS @LOBBandPARTNERS

“Pure Dynasty is perfectly suited to our environment and gives us the flexibility to maintain a true wall-to-wall paspalum surface with varied heights of cut,” says Hughes. “It also supports the design intent of allowing golfers to putt from 20-30 yards out if they would like, making the course more playable and enjoyable for all levels. One of the advantages of paspalum is its ability to reduce water requirements once mature, supporting our long-term sustainability goals." golfcoursearchitecture.net/content/hidden… @atlasturf @gcamagazine
