DELIVERING RESULTS AT CROMER LTA

A long-term turf management programme from Origin Amenity Solutions is helping maintain the 10 grass courts at Cromer Lawn Tennis & Squash Association throughout a busy playing season.

Groundsman and general manager, Matthew Jordan, has worked with the supplier for a number of years, using the company as the club's sole provider of grass seed, nutrition products and line marking paint.

The programme includes R9 100% dwarf ryegrass for post-season renovation, a winter nutrition programme based around Multigreen 15-0-22, followed by Cold Start Boost-R 11-5-5 to encourage early spring growth. H-Cote 22-3-8 is then used during the main playing season, alongside selective weed control, Enclean hard surface biocide and Tri-Cure granular.

Cromer LTA has around 500 members and hosts a packed programme of events, including a British Tour tournament, county championships and junior and senior competitions.

Matthew Jordan said the tailored programme, developed with OAS area sales representative Mark Keysell, delivers consistent playing surfaces while remaining within budget. He added that working with a single supplier simplifies operations and provides ongoing technical support throughout the year.
