Suffolk, England – Bernhard and Company is pleased to announce the expansion of its distribution partnership with Pacific Golf and Turf, enabling the supplier to distribute Soil Scout’s wireless underground soil monitoring technology across Washington, Oregon and Hawaii in the USA.
Pacific Golf and Turf already serves as Bernhard and Company’s equipment distributor across multiple regions and will now expand its role by introducing Soil Scout sensors to its offering for golf facilities throughout each territory. The move strengthens the long-standing partnership between the two companies while broadening access to advanced turf management technology designed to help golf course operators monitor soil conditions and optimise irrigation, turf health and maintenance practices.
Soil Scout’s underground sensors measure key soil metrics including moisture, temperature and salinity, providing course managers with real-time insights that support more informed decision-making and more efficient resource use. The system has recently been expanded with the introduction of the Happi100, the first wireless underground sensor capable of measuring soil oxygen alongside moisture and temperature. Installed below the surface, the sensors transmit data wirelessly to a cloud-based platform, allowing superintendents to monitor conditions remotely without disrupting play while gaining deeper insight into the factors that influence turf health.
Daryl Nagy, Bernhard and Company’s Sales Manager for North America, said: “Golf course teams are continually looking for smarter ways to operate as expectations around course conditioning, efficiency and sustainability continue to evolve. Access to reliable data is becoming an increasingly important part of that process. Expanding our partnership with Pacific Golf and Turf allows us to bring Soil Scout technology to more facilities across the Pacific Northwest and Hawaii through a trusted regional partner that understands the needs of local golf courses.”
Pacific Golf and Turf, headquartered in Portland, Oregon, has long supplied golf courses throughout the region with turf maintenance equipment and support services. By adding Soil Scout technology to its portfolio, the company will further strengthen the support it provides to superintendents, offering additional tools to help monitor course conditions and make more informed irrigation and turf management decisions.
A spokesperson for Pacific Golf and Turf added: “Superintendents are under increasing pressure to deliver consistent playing conditions while managing resources responsibly, and access to accurate soil data can play an important role in that process. We are pleased to be able to bring Soil Scout technology to golf facilities across our territory as part of our continued partnership with Bernhard and Company.”
The expanded partnership reflects the growing role of technology and data within modern turf management, with more golf facilities adopting advanced monitoring tools to improve course conditioning, resource efficiency and long-term turf performance.
