PRO'S CHOICE INFIELD CONDITIONERS

A “HIT” With Groundskeepers
By: James Gordon, Pro’s Choice Rep. - Golf Enviro Systems, Inc.

The April 19th Coors Field Seminar hosted by Golf Enviro Systems was a great success. Mark Razum, head groundskeeper for the Rockies, and his staff, combined lecture presentations with ON-FIELD demonstrations to give a complete overview of sports field management. Demonstrations included many of the techniques necessary to maintain a safe, quality playing field.

Groups were split into three locations and Rockies staff members answered questions and demonstrated procedures such as:

It turned out to be an excellent chance for those in attendance to receive valuable tips and hands-on professional advice from the experts. Whether you were associated with municipal, high school, college or private club sports, this event had something for everyone.

Is designed to manage moisture and eliminate compaction on infields. It’s a league legend and is the first choice of professional groundskeepers (including the Rockies and Sky Sox) to build and maintain winning ball fields for many seasons. A huge benefit is it absorbs excess moisture in your field and then releases it as the soil dries.

If you want premium performance, you’ll want Soilmaster Select. With all the same benifits of Soilmaster infield conditioner, its particle size blend gives you the look of a professional ballpark. Small enough in size to make it the perfect infield topdressing.

Soilmaster Green

Colored to blend with your turf (and grass areas of your infield), ask for Soilmaster Green. Soilmaster Green improves oxygen, water and nutrient flow to the rootzone for stronger, healthier turf. It is also great for covering those wear areas to improve your game day appearance.

For the best performance on the mound and in the batter’s box, you simply can’t beat Pro Mound. A unique blue gumbo packing clay, Pro Mound bonds to form a soil subsurface that allows players to dig in and establish footing without leaving large holes. This product is available in both brick and bags.

When you need to save the game on a wet day, this is the product for you. Rapid Dry granules quickly wick away excess water from your playing field and helps improve soil consistency. No it’s not a dusty powder, like other quick dry products on the market. It’s perfectly-sized for both stability and absorption. Rapid Dry’s texture improves footing on slippery surfaces. If you want to get back in the game you need to absorb wet spots fast.

My son plays on a local 13 and under competitive baseball team here in Colorado Springs where safety is our primary concern. Year after year it seemed the most common problems we experienced in the league was the compaction of our playing fields, and moisture control. Believe me, if these two things are not just right, quality of play is diminished. Pro’s Choice Conditioners provided our teams with an affordable solution to these field maintenance problems. We now have less rainouts, and slippery conditions are a thing of the past.

Feel free to call me, Jim Gordon,  with any questions you may have regarding the Pro’s Choice line of products. I would be glad to make an appointment with you to look at your field and show you some product demonstrations.  800-225-1311 or local 719-590-8884.
