Within the synthetic turf industry, the typical infill used for golf greens is a subangular sand blend. The problem with using subangular sand infill for turf, is that it locks and compacts. When a golf ball lands on the green with subangular infill, energy and force is returned to the golf ball. The force restitution from a compacted surface forces the ball to bounce erratically. In addition, the combination of the compaction and sharp edges of the sand wears the turf quicker, reducing the lifespan of the synthetic turf system.

TºCool’s chosen 16/30 sand is a proprietary, high-quality, spherical and well-rounded sand that allows for optimum shock absorption and true ball roll. TºCool sand does not compact and absorbs energy. TºCool distributes the energy from particle to particle throughout the infill matrix, allowing the synthetic turf golf green to accept and hold long golf shots. T°Cool sand infill also provides a surface that mimics a natural green and putts true. Due to its well-rounded and spherical nature, TºCool sand also extends the life of the synthetic turf system.

With advanced cool artificial turf, golf courses can now offer a superior playing experience, combining aesthetics, functionality, and environmental responsibility.

In this blog, we unpack the reasons why synthetic turf is redefining golf course standards, and how it can dramatically improve both the quality of play and operational efficiency.

Biomimicry is a design approach revolutionizing industries from construction to fashion, and now we’re using it for our synthetic turf infill treatment. We’ve put together this blog to expand on the concept of biomimicry, some examples of it in action, and how we’re utilizing biomimicry to keep artificial grass cool.
