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.

“I firmly believe that we are witnessing the dawn of a significant movement in the turf industry. Artificial grass technology is continually advancing, leading to remarkable improvements in its quality and appearance.

Every day, we conduct a minimum of 10 estimates, and without fail, the first question we encounter is, "Does turf get hot?"

To this, we provide an honest response: "Yes, it does."

However, we are excited to share that with TºCool®, we now have an excellent solution that addresses this concern effectively.

As a landscape architect, you may find yourself weighing up the pros and cons of real vs artificial grass, in terms of aesthetic appeal, cost, and practicality. Whether creating a master plan, a private family estate, or designing a playground, there are a multitude of important aspects to consider.

Turf Infill is an essential part of any synthetic turf system. When choosing an infill there is an important checklist to make sure you are installing the cleanest, the safest, and the coolest infill possible. Read our TCool blog here.

Decking out your outdoor event space with synthetic grass could make your life a lot easier. Regular grass can become macerated beyond usability by rain, snow, and even sun. But with good synthetic turf, you have more options when it comes to solving the problem. A good synthetic turf with the right infill can handle plenty of people throughout the day without heat exhaustion , becoming muddy or excessively dry, or falling victim to any other environmental factors.

“You're dealing with peoples emotional responses to place, as much as you're dealing with their physical responses to place. That comes with experience. That comes with modeling. That comes with watching people. That comes with paying attention to our environments. That is why we are landscape architects. We love it.” - Mary Margaret Jones | Hargreaves Associates

When it comes to landscape architectural design, clear specs are the key to making a project successful. Embarking on a landscape architectural project is a massive undertaking, and attention to detail will be vital in ensuring its success.

One of the hardest things when it comes to synthetic turf care and maintenance is trying to work with the surface on hotter days. When the sun is beating down on synthetic grass the temperatures of said turf can get as high as 140ºF to 160ºF+ degrees. You can try to fight the heat by irrigating the turf all day but this is a disruptive and unsustainable way to work.

Enter TºCool, a patented cooling agent specifically designed to extend the effects of evaporative cooling on synthetic turfs, shown to reduce the temperature of turf by 30ºF to 50ºF+ degrees.
