Bernhard and Company, the manufacturer of Bernhard Grinders, helped support Royal County Down Golf Club at the recent Dubai Duty Free Irish Open, hosted by the Rory Foundation.
Royal County Down used Bernhard’s Express Dual 3000 and Anglemaster 3000 precision grinders to ensure greens remained in pristine condition throughout the tournament.
Ranked among the world’s top 10 golf courses by pundits across the globe, Royal County Down is located in the Murlough Nature Reserve along the shores of Dundrum Bay. The stunning canvas for links golf boasts the magnificent Mountains of Mourne as a backdrop, offering different vistas from nearly every hole.
“The Irish Open welcomed stars like Rickie Fowler, Ernie Els, Sergio Garcia, Martin Kaymer, Graeme McDowell and Rory McIlroy,” said Steve Nixon, international sales manager for Bernhard. “We’re honored to have played a key role in ensuring turf conditions complemented the stellar course and strong field.”
“Bernhard Grinders have been a mainstay in our maintenance shed for years,” added Eamonn Crawford, links manager, Royal County Down. “Our team depends on their unmatched precision, ease of use, reliability and other attributes to make our links shine not just for the world’s best professionals, but for play by members and guests on a daily basis.”
Royal County Down is one of many renowned venues trusting Bernhard with tournament preparations this spring and summer.
TPC Sawgrass (THE PLAYERS Championship; Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.), Wentworth Club (BMW PGA Championship; Surrey, England) and Le Golf National (Alstom Open de France; Paris) are some other facilities benefitting from Bernhard’s trademark Express Dual and Anglemaster machines.
