Celebrating 16 Years of Unwavering Golf Tournament Support by STS

Sports Turf Solutions (STS) has been at the forefront of tournament excellence in Southeast Asia for over 16 years. Since becoming the regional distributor of Bernhard Grinders in 2008, Sports Turf Solutions has played a crucial role in supporting major tournaments, including Asian Tour events in Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia, as well as LPGA, European Tour, and USPGA events.

In collaboration with Bernhard Grinders, both companies have frequently deployed Service Managers to assist host club workshop teams at each venue. Their efforts include setting up and sharpening mowers to ensure optimal performance during events. Recent tournaments supported include the International Series event at Thai Country Club in Bangkok, the Black Mountain Championship in Hua Hin, Thailand, and the LPGA Tournament at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club.

At times, the tournament support provided by Sports Turf Solutions has required the use of its own demonstration grinders to facilitate faster setup and ensure precision.

Maintaining perfectly sharpened mowers before each event guarantees that courses are presented to the highest standards and look flawless on television. The difference between sharpening machinery the old-fashioned way – by backlapping with contact that causes mower drag – and using modern grinders with zero contact is stark. The contrast is like night and day: mowing a fairway or green with a perfectly sharp mower after using a dull one feels akin to turning on the lights.

Bernhard Grinders are recognized as the premier sharpening systems in the turf industry, with a substantial number of elite clubs reaping the benefits. These advanced systems not only enhance turf health and aesthetics but also provide significant financial advantages, making them an invaluable investment for top-tier facilities. These include reduced wear and tear on moving parts, less drag on engines, and decreased strain on hydraulic systems. This reduction in stress makes the machines more efficient to operate and less prone to issues such as oil leaks.
