Golf Courses Are Under Pressure—From Every Angle

Today’s golf course superintendents and grounds crews face mounting challenges: homeowners’ associations and neighborhood groups demand visible sustainability efforts; players expect impeccable turf; and growing health concerns from pesticide use are in the headlines. These diverse pressures require an irrigation solution that's effective, clean, and trusted.

Hidden Pitfalls in Irrigation Systems

Irrigation lines are often overlooked until symptoms—a foul odor, brown patches, or uneven watering—appear. The problem? Biofilm, pathogens, mineral deposits, and emerging issues like algae-biofilm complexes, especially when fertilizers are involved. This buildup clogs emitters, disrupts water flow, and diminishes turf health—leading to increased water usage, higher labor costs, and unhappy golfers.

A Rising Health Concern: Pesticides & Parkinson’s Risk

Recent research published May 10, 2025 in Newsweek highlights a serious public health worry: individuals living within a one-mile radius of golf courses have a 126% higher risk of developing Parkinson’s disease compared to those living more than six miles away read the article here. The study suggests that pesticide runoff into drinking water may be a significant factor. This finding is sounding alarm bells among homeowners and HOAs, adding pressure on golf courses to adopt safer, more eco-conscious management practices.
