Origin Amenity Solutions has seen an overwhelmingly positive response to its free irrigation demonstration day events, which have been held at golf clubs throughout the UK since August 2022.

Rain Bird is a leading global manufacturer and provider of irrigation products and services. As the UK distributor for Rain Bird Golf, Origin Amenity Solutions is committed to the education and training of greenkeepers throughout the UK to develop their knowledge on how the Rain Bird irrigation systems operate, and how they can improve their grounds maintenance processes and water conservation.

Starting at Stocks Golf Club in Hertfordshire in August 2022, the Irrigation demo days have been attended by over 100 delegates across six demonstrations, with more scheduled events throughout October.

The events feature live demonstrations of a range of Rain Bird sprinklers in action, as well as informative presentations on the wider Rain Bird range and the benefits provided.

Irrigation system hydraulics are covered, as well as how to operate an efficient and cost-effective irrigation system when working to a tight budget.

Irrigation product manager, Peter Robin, and irrigation sales engineer, Richard Jones, deliver the events together. Peter demonstrates the Rain Bird sprinklers in action as well as fielding questions and showcasing the DAB Pump Sets, whilst Richard talks through the Rain Bird software for PC driven irrigation controllers.

In addition to the informative presentations and demonstrations, all attendees are awarded three CPD points.

Peter Robin comments; “These events are something we’ve been asked for on numerous occasions and I am delighted to be able to deliver them at regular intervals. Attendance has been superb and feedback positive.

“I am pleased we can help build people’s knowledge on the Rain Bird Golf range and demonstrate the benefits. We have a few more events still to be delivered but I am expecting the same high turnout, so Richard and I look forward to these and building on this momentum.”
