Golf course drainage specialist Turfdry has installed comprehensive new drainage systems into the 11th and 16th greens at Shirley Park GC, Croydon, in late September 2017. Following re-turfing of the drain lines by Turfdry’s team, combined with care and attention from greenkeeping staff, the greens were back in play within 9 and 7 days, respectively.
