We've invested in technology to enhance our water management practices at the golf course. Utilising data from our Pogo devices, we can precisely plan our water usage, ensuring that we water only where it's needed. Last year, we expanded our capabilities by acquiring a second Pogo, allowing us to monitor larger areas such as fairways more closely. This investment has enabled us to fine-tune our watering needs, identifying specific areas that require attention and optimising our irrigation program accordingly.
Beyond the environmental benefits, investing in Pogo technology has also resulted in significant cost savings and improved labour efficiency. By pinpointing areas that require watering, we can allocate our labor resources more effectively, whether it's through hand watering or utilising sprinkler heads. This approach not only conserves water but also maximises the effectiveness of our irrigation efforts, ultimately resulting in a championship-level course for both golfers and the environment.
