How Top Courses Are Winning Against Summer Turf Stress
“After three days all hot spots were eliminated!”
Ben Propst, Director of Golf Course Operations, Oceans West Golf Club
It’s that time of the year… summer temperatures are making all the headlines! Heat stress and resulting loss of turf is a major worry for turf managers. Over 200 courses have Aquaritin Sparc at hand and many are already winning the battle against hot spots!
Ben Propst, Director of Golf Course Operations at Oceans West Golf Club in Daytona, Florida, recently put Aquaritin Sparc to the test. Oceans West is known for its stunning coastal setting and commitment to exceptional course conditions in a challenging climate.
“I applied Sparc at maximum rate on fairways and after three days all hot spots were eliminated! I have never used a wetting agent with such low use rates and almost instant results. Tees and greens are also free of hot spots and heat stress. I will buy this product from now on!”

Another Denver area golf course spot treated its hot spots based on daily scans from TurfRad and saw immediate improvements on 90- and 100-degree days as illustrated by these graphics:
