Heralded Golf Course thrives in America’s Heartland

Redox Grows

About this episode

Chances are you’ve never heard of Laconia, Indiana, but if you’re a golf enthusiast, it needs to be on your bucket list.

With a population of 50 and surrounded by farmland, Laconia is home to Chariot Run Golf Club https://chariotrungolf.com, featuring an immaculate, award-winning course.  

“Our motto is ‘you pass a lot of good golf courses to get here, so we have to be great,’” said general manager David Beanblossom. “We’ve always said ‘it’s a field of dreams golf course out here, if you build it, they will come.’ I feel like, day in and day out, we put a product out there that is just better than everybody else. We really give people a reason to drive 45-minutes to Chariot Run to play golf.”

David’s story is even more remarkable that the golf course he manages. Twice he had brushes with death. The first occurred in a vehicle accident when he was seven. The second injury occurred during a horrific accident while he was harness racing. 

“Just by the grace of God I am still here today,” he said. “I owe it to my wife why I’m sitting here today. She said ‘You’ve got to find another way to make a living. I can’t watch you do this anymore.’”

He started at Chariot Run as an $8 an hour greenskeeper. Through his hard work and becoming a student of the greens, David continued to rise until his current general manager position.

He credited Redox Bio-Nutrients products as a key to the rave reviews about their course. 

David has worked for many years with Todd Scott, Redox Director of Turf Marketing & Strategy, and now uses several products that yield healthy turf that’s a joy to play on.  Chariot Run is among countless golf courses across America and overseas that depend on Redox Bio-Nutrients to care for their greens, including healthy soil, strong root development, abiotic stress defense and nutrient efficiency. 

“That’s the one thing about Redox and their products is they’ve really allowed us to produce the quality of turf that we need, the conditions we need to drive revenue and get golfers through the door,” Beanblossom said. “I think that’s the hidden factor that you don’t see with Redox is the additional revenue you’re going to get from just having stellar conditions all the time.”
