GOLF COURSES
Further proof of Mark and the club ’ s commitment to improving the course is that they are now increasing their use of Toro sprinklers further , Mark confirms : “ We ’ re currently trying to phase them in across the rest of the tees so we have a complete Toro irrigation solution .”
With both Toro irrigation and machinery now on board to help improve the course , Mark sees bright things for the future of the club : “ We really pride ourselves on presentation , and with these new Toro machines alongside Toro irrigation I foresee big improvements to the course . We ’ ve trialled many brands over the years , but Toro has always outperformed them all . The course here stretches 90 acres and is largely made up of undulating land which Toro deals with brilliantly . One of our new machines is the Groundsmaster 3500-D triplex rotary mower and is a perfect example of a Toro machine built to perform excellently on undulating terrain . The contour following is superb !”
Mark concludes : “ We really needed a fresh start with our machinery in order to make the improvements we wanted . With this new five-year agreement , not only can we achieve this in the near future , but we can continue to upgrade our front line cutting equipment every five years , ensuring we get the latest and greatest technology to keep on improving .”
