Golf Course Industry Turf Tech Showcase 2026

Golf ponds, lakes, and lagoons are a prime irrigation source and aesthetic feature, yet for a long time, effective management has been a challenge in balancing beauty with water health. Because they are static, non-flowing water features, they are prone to water quality issues such as thermal stratification (water temperature differences), which lead to low dissolved oxygen, dead zones, and noxious odors forming at the pond’s bottom layer.

In this webinar, we delve into PondHawk’s breakthrough solution to revitalizing water conditions without the algaecides and aquatic herbicides that affect natural water chemistry. Using solar-powered subsurface aeration, many courses have restored balance to troublesome ponds riddled with seasonal algae blooms, foul odors, biomass buildup, and stagnant water.

The Turf Tech Showcase provides a FREE virtual expo where the industry’s biggest innovators share expert knowledge, tools, processes, and innovations helping golf course managers and superintendents meet their toughest challenges.

Presented by the team with over a decade of experience in solar systems design and limnology, join Sandra Burton, LINNE Industries Co-Founder, and Dr. Tom Fisher, limnology expert and Professor Emeritus at the University of Maryland, for an informative session that will help you understand:

• The underlying causes of problems in static, non-flowing water features, and why they become so unpleasant.
• The benefits of bottom-diffused (subsurface) aeration in enhancing water quality and the methods to quantify these advantages as seen through field research.
• The science behind PondHawk’s impactful water quality enhancement design and the advantages it offers YOU!

You will also unpack the limnology secrets for healthy golf ponds through a look at successful case studies on courses that have seamlessly incorporated subsurface aeration BMPs without compromising the beautiful landscape.

See you at the Showcase!
