Following extensive trials, the world-renowned Wentworth Club, home of the HSBC World Match Play Championship and the BMW Championship, has chosen Huxley Golf’s new Premier Tee Turf 2 high performance all-weather tee turf to enhance the year-round playing facilities on its superb practice range.
Julian Small, Managing Director, Wentworth Club, commented: "Our members enjoy practising on the new Huxley Premier Tee Turf. It’s the most realistic and innovative all-weather surface on the market."
Huxley Premier Tee Turf 2 (or PTT2) is a top quality all-weather turf designed specifically for use as a low wear, low maintenance alternative or replacement for natural turf on golf course tees, practice tees and ranges.
A key feature of Huxley Premier Tee Turf 2 is its exceptional fibre density, removing the need to use a silica-type filler to pack the spaces between the fibres. The result is a very low maintenance surface that can also accept a standard tee peg, allowing a full range of golf shots to be played directly from the surface or from a tee peg pushed into the pile.
Because it requires no filler, Huxley Premier Tee Turf 2 is relatively straightforward to install making it suitable for installation by golf club greenkeeping staff, with guidance from Huxley Golf. The surface can also be lifted for cleaning, for rotation to help spread the wear or for eventual replacement.
To spread the wear and allow plenty of space for ball placement, the minimum recommended width of a Huxley PTT2 installation is 12ft (3.66m). Overall length will depend on the application. A typical practice tee could measure a minimum 12ft (3.66m) wide by 60ft (18.3m), 72ft (21.9m) or 84ft (25.6m) long. An all-weather golf course tee
would measure a minimum 12ft (3.66m) wide by 12ft (3.66m) long, although greater lengths are recommended to help spread the wear across the surface.
Barry Huxley, a director of Huxley Golf, said: "We are delighted that such a prestigious customer as Wentworth Club is so pleased with our Premier Tee Turf. We installed this new all-weather turf on the practice ground at Wentworth in 2006 and it has stood up really well to constant use both from members and the club’s professionals. The new Huxley PTT2 turf is now proving very popular also with golf clubs throughout the United Kingdom and Europe who want to use the very latest low-maintenance all-weather turf
on their golf course tees or practice tees."
