Dear Golf Course Industry readers,
As another exciting summer season unfolds, bringing with it the thrill of tournaments and the camaraderie that makes golf so special, BASF remains steadfast in our commitment to supporting the courses and professionals who make these events possible. From club championships and charity outings to regional invitationals, these tournaments are more than just competitions—they are celebrations of the game, the people who play it and the dedicated teams who bring them to life.
At the heart of every tournament are the superintendents and their teams, working tirelessly to prepare immaculate playing conditions for competitors and guests alike. Their expertise, dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence are the foundation of every great golf event. At BASF, we share their passion for exceptional turf quality, and we take immense pride in providing innovative solutions that help them achieve championship-ready conditions.
Our Intrinsic® brand fungicides continue to set the standard for turf disease management and plant health, ensuring resilient, stress-tolerant turf that performs under pressure. Lexicon® Intrinsic brand fungicide, now in its second decade of success, remains a trusted cornerstone of high-performance turf management. Navicon® Intrinsic brand fungicide provides reliable disease control even in the toughest summer conditions, while Honor® Intrinsic and Insignia® SC Intrinsic brand fungicides round out a portfolio designed to keep every playing surface at its best.
Now in its second season, Aramax™ Intrinsic brand fungicide is proving to be a game-changer for fairways, offering powerful dual-active disease control with up to 26 labeled turf diseases, including snow mold, large patch, brown patch, and dollar spot. Superintendents who incorporated Aramax Intrinsic brand fungicide into their programs last year saw firsthand how it enhances fairway resilience, and we’re excited to continue building on that momentum in 2025 and beyond.
This summer, we celebrate not only the game of golf but the people who dedicate themselves to making every tournament a remarkable experience. Your passion, expertise and commitment to excellence inspire us, and we are honored to stand alongside you in ensuring that every course is primed for success.
Thank you for your dedication to the game, and we look forward to sharing more about our solutions and support in the pages of Golf Course Industry.
Sincerely,
Jan CoetzerTurf Marketing Manager
