“Greenkeepers are the heart and soul of a golf course, which is why I take every opportunity to pick their brains when I visit the club,” said Richard Allen, founder of EcoBunker. “They know all the challenges of keeping a golf course looking its best, so while we help them by installing bunkers that require much less maintenance than traditional bunkers, we're taking valuable experience that helps us accelerate our product development.”

One such development was the invention of the popular EcoBunker synthetic bunker edges. Following feedback from conservationists on the time spent on curb maintenance, Richard began to develop a solution that would free conservationists from taking care of hazards and free up time to devote to roads, paths and beautiful trails where their talents shine.

I thank them for the expertise that makes playing our game such an amazing experience, and, from a personal perspective, for sharing the knowledge that helps our business be the best it can be.”
