Alejandro Reyes, heading up the whole greenkeeping and course management team at Le Golf National, has been vocal in his gratitude for help in the Club’s Tournament preparation. “Syngenta have been giving us great support since day One,” he reported.

“Syngenta have helped a lot. They are key for keeping these surfaces in top quality and at the top level. We are very, very, pleased,” he added.

For Lucas Pierre, Alejandro’s right-hand man and Head Greenkeeper for the Albatros Course, the relationship he has developed with Syngenta has been very important. “For us, this could be one of the successes of the Tournament,” he said.

Alejandro detailed how he had been using Primo Maxx II for Tournament preparation. The key factor for him was the opportunity to improve turf density, smoothness and consistency for players.

“The first thing players are going to notice is that we have the same playing conditions in the morning as the last players out in the afternoon. We will be keeping the same pace.

He pointed out that they have also been using Primo Maxx II on approaches and fairways too, primarily for reducing the mowing frequency.

For Lucas Pierre, he reported the difference with the fairways this year using Prom Maxx II, compared to last year without: “When you were cutting the fairway every day, you had to empty the box every five minutes; this year, it’s like the guys are saying ‘you never empty the boxes’ it’s perfect for us.

“You save on time; the quality of cut is better; turf looks better; you have better roll. We have more consistency. It really helps.”

Alejandro added: “Plant growth regulators are key for high level turf management. I wouldn’t like to find myself without that tool now.”
