INFINICUT ® FL22 PROVES
TO BE A SILVER LINING
DURING PROLONGED RAINFALL FOR STANEDGE GOLF CLUB available . We trialled the INFINICUT ® and were sold straight away ! The quality of cut was unbelievable , like nothing we ’ d ever used before .”
The floating-head FL22 forms part of the INFINICUT ® golf range , designed to deliver the ultimate precision for fine-turf surfaces . Engineered to suit the specific set of requirements needed for modern golf-course maintenance , the FL22 is equipped with INFINICUT ’ s SMARTCut™ cylinder reels , produced in-house and dynamically balanced for unbeatable accuracy .
“ On top of the quality of finish , the fact that the INFINICUT ® is batterypowered has been another big plus-point for us . While it wasn ’ t a necessity initially , we have now all-but eliminated issues with noise and vibration levels , as well as saving ourselves money on fuel .” Lee continues , “ John Hobbs at Balmers was excellent at getting us all set up , including showing us the many features of the INFINIApp which we ’ ve been enjoying using and is just another thing that makes the INFINICUT ® stand out from the competition .”
An INFINICUT ® FL22 was purchased by the team at Stanedge Golf Club to equip the Derbyshire venue with a mowing solution for periods of wet weather … and in reality , its delivery in the autumn of 2023 could not have been more timely ! The prolonged and persistent rainfall has seen Head Greenkeeper Lee Williams and his team turning to the INFINICUT ® to maintain HOC and presentation while the triple green mowers are resigned to sheltering in the shed .
Located in the picturesque Peak District , the moorland / parkland course like many has seen unprecedented rainfall levels over the last six months . “ With no ability to control what mother nature throws at us , all we can do is equip ourselves with the tools and techniques to be able to deliver surfaces no matter the weather ” explains Lee , who took over as Head Greenkeeper two years ago . “ We knew that we needed to look at hand mowers and spoke to our local dealer Balmers GM about the options
At the time of writing , Lee explained that softer ground conditions had seen the club unable to use the triple green mowers this year to date . “ The fact we ’ ve been able to get out twice weekly and in any breaks between showers with the INFINICUT ® has been critical . I ’ d love to be able to hand mow year-round but with such a small team we are limited by our resources , however , should we be able to go down that road it would be an INFINICUT ® fleet without doubt !”
