Golfdom’s Hot List: A Q&A with Performance Nutrition
Chris Underwood, innovation and business development manager, Performance Nutrition
What makes ExAlt a game changer for golf course maintenance?
Most turf problems start below the surface, and ExAlt targets those soil challenges directly. Instead of only feeding the plant, it improves the soil environment by unlocking tied-up nutrients, reducing compaction, minimizing black layer and flushing excess sodium from the root zone. This leads to stronger roots, faster recovery and more consistent performance across greens, tees and fairways. ExAlt builds a healthier soil foundation that keeps turf performing even under pressure.
How does ExAlt improve operational efficiency for golf course managers?
ExAlt helps prevent everyday maintenance from escalating into emergency situations. By improving nutrient availability and soil structure, problem areas respond faster and stay healthy longer, reducing the need for repeat treatments or constant monitoring. It integrates seamlessly into existing spray programs, allowing superintendents to improve results without disrupting their schedule or adding complexity.
In what ways does ExAlt contribute to cost savings in maintenance?
When soil restricts nutrient uptake, it takes more fertilizer, more labor and more time to achieve results. ExAlt unlocks nutrients already in the soil and improves the efficiency of current applications, reducing the need for reapplications and reactive spending. Many courses also use ExAlt to rehabilitate soils affected by salts, poor water quality or contamination, helping prevent costly renovation work.
How does ExAlt enhance the overall player experience on the course?
Surfaces that recover quickly, drain well and stay firm under stress create noticeably better playing conditions. ExAlt strengthens the root zone, supports improved aeration and helps turf rebound during heavy traffic and challenging weather. Players experience smoother roll, better color and more consistent conditions throughout the season.
What future trends does your product align with in the golf industry?
The golf industry continues moving toward stronger turf with fewer inputs, reduced labor and more efficient use of water and nutrients. ExAlt supports this direction by improving nutrient efficiency, building soil resilience and correcting soil issues that limit long-term performance. It delivers immediate, visible results while improving the soil foundation for future seasons.
