119 PROMOTED Tahoma 31 Booth: 3117 Olde Eight Golf Club in Greenwood, South Carolina, is the latest example of the trend towards grass selection that considers not just playability and beauty, but also height-of-cut versatility and drought resistance. Olde Eight has Tahoma 31 bermudagrass on tees, fairways, collars and event lawns. “If it’s grass other than the greens, it’s Tahoma 31,” said Chris Jordan, director of greens and grounds at Olde Eight. Designed by Drew Rogers, the course follows the routing of the site’s original Links at Stoney Point course. The new layout opened in November 2025, and construction has also now started on a nine-hole parthree course, driving range and practice area, all to be grassed with Tahoma 31. Syngenta Booth: 2773 GreenCast Connect by Syngenta provides instant access to important data, predictive modelling and recommendations in one place. The platform also integrates information from Spiio soil sensors and the newly developed Aero GCX microclimate sensor. The Dormie Club in West End, North Carolina, integrated Spiio sensors into its putting surfaces two years ago. Since then, the club has leveraged information to help plan and take action on irrigation scheduling, product applications and hand-watering efficiency. “The beautiful thing about Spiio is it tracks all the data for you; it’s all in one place,” said Eric Harbauer, director of agronomy at Dormie Club. “You can know what your soil moisture is, your temperature is. When all that data is aggregated, it’s helpful to make good, timely decisions.” The Dormie Club has leveraged information from Spiio sensors via the GreenCast Connext platform to make maintenance decisions Tees, fairways and collars on the Olde Eight course in South Carolina have been grassed with Tahoma 31 bermudagrass
