A dedicated Instagram channel and brand new blog are charting the progress of a major irrigation installation taking place on the Championship Course at Carnoustie Golf Links in Scotland.

Installation highlights, major milestones and the day-to-day experiences of the greenkeeping team and expert project partners are being featured by Carnoustie at carnoustie.rainbird.

Links Superintendent Kevin Stott and Irrigation Technician Stephen Sutherland are giving followers a behind-the-scenes view of the renovation process in images and video, providing an account of the work involved as it happens. In addition, subscribers to Rain Bird Golf’s global 360 e-newsletter can gain further insights from a brand new project blog, along with the latest product news and global irrigation insights.

The Rain Bird IC System with new CirrusPRO software was designed by Adrian Mortram and is being installed by MJ Abbott. The project was scheduled for completion at the end of March and when fully operational, will deliver the ultimate in control technology and irrigation efficiency to align with Carnoustie Golf Links’ carbon net zero ambition.
