The
Chicopee Country Club located in Chicopee, Massachusetts recently hired IGM to
help improve course conditions and to help contain escalating maintenance
costs.
Now that the golfing
season has started, the players have already noticed a change! Tom DiRico, Director of Golf for Chicopee
Country Club, explains: “the impact of
IGM’s turf management programs is evident as we are already seeing the results
out on the course. Also, the
communication from Mike Bach, IGM Golf Course Superintendent, and the support
from IGM’s Northeast Regional staff (Mike Fontaine and Tyler Minamyer) has been
a huge help.”
“We are happy to be
working with Tom and the Chicopee Country Club golf committee. The course has a great reputation, and we
look forward to helping them restore course conditions. With IGM Superintendent, Mike Bach, on board,
we are expecting great things,” says Steve Gano, Vice President of Operations
for IGM.
IGM’s first order of business was to develop
and implement agronomically sound cultural practices as well as to clean and
organize the maintenance facility. The
Chicopee Country Club has future plans to replace the course irrigation system
beginning in the fall of 2013 and IGM will help oversee the project. The Club projects $250,000 in savings over
the next three years by hiring IGM.
