Bernhard and Company announced the expansion of its distribution partnership with Pacific Golf and Turf, enabling the supplier to distribute Soil Scout’s wireless underground soil monitoring technology across Washington, Oregon and Hawaii in the U.S.
Pacific Golf and Turf already serves as Bernhard and Company’s equipment distributor across multiple regions and will now expand its role by introducing Soil Scout sensors to its offering for golf facilities throughout each territory. The move strengthens the long-standing partnership between the two companies while broadening access to advanced turf management technology designed to help golf course operators monitor soil conditions and optimise irrigation, turf health and maintenance practices.
Soil Scout’s underground sensors measure key soil metrics including moisture, temperature and salinity, providing course managers with real-time insights that support more informed decision-making and more efficient resource use. The system has recently been expanded with the introduction of the Happi100, the first wireless underground sensor capable of measuring soil oxygen alongside moisture and temperature. Installed below the surface, the sensors transmit data wirelessly to a cloud-based platform, allowing superintendents to monitor conditions remotely without disrupting play while gaining deeper insight into the factors that influence turf health.
