J. W. Potter, Owner
"As a golf course owner, I wear many different hats. Since switching to PredictN7, managing the inputs of my greens is one less thing I have to worry about. And overall my greens are in the best shape I have ever seen them, aesthetically as well as playability."

Kyle Steidel, Golf Course Superintendent and Property Manager
“Predict N7 has proven itself to be a very useful tool in our greens management program. Whether we are targeting our desired leaf texture, managing organic matter levels, focusing on overall plant health or pushing performance, Predict N7 has brought a new level of comfort knowing our greens will withstand the summer months in the mid-Atlantic. We are very excited about the capabilities we now have utilizing Predict N7.”
Princess Anne CC, VA
Jordan Spitler, Dir. of Golf Course Maintenance and Club Grounds
"I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I saw improvement in leaf texture and ball roll after starting the Predict N7. A side benefit of achieving very fast putting speeds with less effort (and without PGRs)...is the reduced wear and overall improvement to the turf surrounding my greens. But it's having total control of growth that I like most about Predict N7."
Hermitage Country Club, VA
Chris Harriman, Dir. of Grounds & Golf Course Mgt.
After running the Predict N₇ Model for the past two years, I can confidently say that our greens have never been better. The Predict N7 is as integral to the success of our programs as fans and moisture meters.

Matt M., Superintendent
The Predict-N7 Model has enabled us to provide firm, consistent putting greens all through the growing season. We have been able to increase green speed and firmness, while decreasing organic matter, chemical inputs, and mowing frequency. Predict-N7 has changed our philosophical approach to our turfgrass, and the results are remarkable. As a public course providing 40k+ rounds each season, I truly believe the Predict-N7 model can be utilized by all Superintendents.

Paul Stead, CGCS
I was concerned about managing green speed without the use of growth regulators. Using the Predict N7 program was instrumental in managing growth and we were able to obtain normal green speeds with less effort.

Since running Predict N7 our greens have dramatically improved their tolerance to environmental stresses. The resulting reduction in cost, labor, and worry have made it an indispensable tool. This is how turf should be maintained.

I've used the Predict-N7 Model on two different golf courses, one with A4 and USGA construction, the other with Triple 7 and California construction. In each case, the Predict-N7 has helped me provide elite putting surfaces that withstand high heat, humidity, and traffic at a very fast putting speeds.

“The PredictN7 gives us the confidence to know that what is going in the spray tank is going to keep our greens healthy and consistent no matter the weather.”
The Foundry Golf Club, VA
Hunter Hankley, Superintendent
​
"My membership immediately saw an improvement to turf color and texture after adopting the Predict N7 Fairway C4 Model. I was hesitant at first because we overseed, but the results have been beyond reproach. I like the cost savings, and growth control that not over-applying nitrogen provides."

I have used the predict N7 model through the beta program on established greens with success of firm, fast putting surfaces while also creating a healthy root system. I had a chance to take on a greens renovation project and decided to use the scientific data to help guide me through the project with success. What we achieved was a healthy robust root system, dense turf canopy and firm surfaces! Using the local data through predict N7model has been a great system to help me manage to the highest standards for putting surfaces!
Dominion Club, VA
Joe Wagner, Superintendent
“Predict N7 has made it easy for us to maintain green speeds, tolerate foot traffic and put out a top notch putting surface every day of the year.”
Bayville GC- Nursery, VA
Jeremy Frisicaro, Superintendent
​
“Our nursery green had 12 different varieties of bentgrass that we were experimenting with for our recent renovation. Using the Predict N7 model made the decision easier as to which variety was best for our Club. It gave us the opportunity to determine what plant preformed best based on our course's microclimate and fertility needs.
Using the Predict N7 model during our nursery trials, we were able to grow a healthier plant, controlled OM, which in turn reducing our fungicide applications.
Managing a golf course can be a daunting task keeping up with weather, soil nutrient availability, fertility products, and how these all work together. Using the Predict N7 model helped me to remove human error and any tendency to over fertilize. It significantly helps me simplify and put everything together to make a more informed decision, a better playing surface, and allows more focus on other components of the course.”
