Desert Control Completes Pilot of Liquid Natural Clay at Wood Ranch Golf Club

Desert Control Completes Pilot of Liquid Natural Clay at Wood Ranch Golf Club

Sandnes, Norway, 2 September 2025 - Desert Control AS (DSRT) today announced the

completion of a pilot application of its Liquid Natural Clay (LNC) technology at

Wood Ranch Golf Club, a private golf course in Simi Valley, California. The

initiative reflects Desert Control's growing presence in Southern California's

golf sector, where rising water costs and sustainability are key challenges.

Ron Kerley, Golf Course Superintendent at Wood Ranch Golf Club, explained the

motivation for the trial:

"At Wood Ranch Golf Club, irrigation water costs $800,000 a year-and climbing.

By applying LNC course-wide, we'd hope to save water, save money, and be better

stewards of the environment; reinvesting savings into modernizing our irrigation

system. I have spoken to the team at Woodland Hills Country Club where they have

already proven the impact, achieving significant savings through summer heat.

Replicating that success at Wood Ranch would deliver lasting financial and

environmental benefit."

"Golf courses across Southern California face significant challenges from

escalating water costs and availability," said CEO James Thomas. "Through pilots

such as the one at Wood Ranch Golf Club, we continue to demonstrate how LNC can

help reduce water consumption, enabling clubs to reinvest savings into course

improvements that benefit both players and the environment."

The Wood Ranch pilot adds to Desert Control's growing portfolio of golf projects

in California, further reinforcing the company's strategy to expand its

solutions for water savings and sustainable turf management.
