Making Progress at Rockland

Leibold Irrigation have been on site at Rockland Country Club and working for a few weeks now. The first week or two were dedicated to unloading, storing of material and flagging and mapping out mainline routing. Ground was broken in the third week on site, and the wonderful weather we are experiencing has allowed some remarkable progress. Below are a few photos, kindly borrowed from Matt Ceplo's Blog. http://rocklandcountryclub.blogspot.com/ Matt is the superintendent of Rockland Country Club and regularly updates a wonderful blog for his members on the maintenance and improvements being made to the golf course.

Atlantic Wins IC System at Sands Point Golf Club

Sands Point Golf Club is located in historic Sands Point on Long Island's North Shore, and is a great example of famous architect A.W. Tillinghast's work.  This course is about to undergo a major restoration and hired Jim Blaukovitch to design new irrigation that is sensitive to the pending restoration.  Jim suggested that Rain Bird's new IC system would be the perfect system since it would be easily tied into when the tees and bunkers get renovated.   National Lawn Sprinkler has been chosen to install the system and as of late December 2011, work has begun.  We are excited to be involved on this one and is now our second IC system to be installed on Long Island.

Atlantic assisting with changes at Lakewood

Lakewood Country Club in Lakewood, NJ is one of the oldest golf courses in the region but soon it will have one of the newest irrigation control systems. Lakewood is upgrading to the latest Par+ES controllers and a Stratus 2 central. The new controls will operate the existing irrigation system which has gradually been switching over to new Eagle sprinklers as well. Also this winter a pump station control panel upgrade will also take place. Atlantic is thrilled to become Lakewood's preferred irrigation supplier and we are glad to be part of the future success of this historic facility.

Atlantic Prevails at Rockland Country Club

I am proud to announce that Atlantic Irrigation has been selected to supply the irrigation for Rockland Country Club's new irrigation system.  Rockland CC is located in Sparkill, NY and is a beautiful member owned test of golf.  Matt Ceplo, the superintendent at Rockland chose to go with a Rain Bird IC control system and the design by Irrigation Consulting, Inc. features a "five row" system with nearly 2000 Eagle 751 full and part circle sprinklers.  The installation will be done by Leibold Irrigation of East Dubuque, Iowa.  All piping will be DR-13.5 HDPE.  Atlantic prevailed against formidable competition on this one due to our ability to service the customer rapidly from our nearby North White Plains headquarters.  Rockland is replacing a 20 year old competitive brand system.  This is a great win!

Atlantic Wins Bid for Leewood Golf Club

Leewood Golf Club in Eastchester, NY will be working with Atlantic on thier new irrigation system this Fall.  The multi row design by Irrigation Consulting, Inc. includes Eagle sprinklers, Par+ES Controls and a Cirrus Central.  The project will be installed by National Lawn Sprinkler of North White Plains.  The superintendent, Trapper Van Dunk, chose Atlantic as his supplier, primarily for our great and responsive service.  Trapper is looking forward to the reliability of Rain Bird products going forward.

Plainfield CC hosts The Barclays

This year's Barclays PGA event, which is the first round of the Fed-Ex Playoff's is being held this week at Plainfield Country Club in Edison, NJ.  125 of the world's best professional golfers are enjoying Plainfield this week.  Many have complimented the course which is an absolutely beautiful Donald Ross Design that ranks amongst America's Top 100 courses, and is high on anyone's "classic golf course" list.  Superintedent, Travis Pauley, is a happy Atlantic Customer using all Rain Bird products to irrigate his course.  Fred Rapp and Jeff Allen of Atlantic participated this week as volunteers at the event to show our support to Travis and Plainfield.  The golf course is in absolutely amazing condition.  Great job Travis!
