Bernhard and Company expands distribution partnership

Bernhard and Company announced the expansion of its distribution partnership with Pacific Golf and Turf, enabling the supplier to distribute Soil Scout’s wireless underground soil monitoring technology across Washington, Oregon and Hawaii in the USA.

Pacific Golf and Turf already serves as Bernhard and Company’s equipment distributor across multiple regions and will now expand its role by introducing Soil Scout sensors to its offering for golf facilities throughout each territory. The move broadens access to advanced turf management technology designed to help golf course operators monitor soil conditions and optimize irrigation, turf health and maintenance practices.

Soil Scout’s underground sensors measure key soil metrics including moisture, temperature and salinity, providing course managers with real-time insights that support more informed decision-making and more efficient resource use. The system has recently been expanded with the introduction of the Happi100, the first wireless underground sensor capable of measuring soil oxygen alongside moisture and temperature. Installed below the surface, the sensors transmit data wirelessly to a cloud-based platform, allowing superintendents to monitor conditions remotely without disrupting play while gaining deeper insight into the factors that influence turf health.

“Golf course teams are continually looking for smarter ways to operate as expectations around course conditioning, efficiency and sustainability continue to evolve,” Bernhard’s North America sales manager Daryl Nagy said. “Access to reliable data is becoming an increasingly important part of that process. Expanding our partnership with Pacific Golf and Turf allows us to bring Soil Scout technology to more facilities across the Pacific Northwest and Hawaii through a trusted regional partner that understands the needs of local golf courses.”
