Out with the old and in with the new.

If you were around the club last week you saw bits and pieces of some new equipment. Well, this week you are going to see the whole fleet. The lease on our high use equipment expired on August 1st, so out with the old and in with the new. We began the process of back in February with getting competative bids and then looking at leasing companies. Six months later all the pieces have fallen in place and now the golf course and members will benefit from a state of the art highly efficient fleet of equipment. We replaced 41 pieces of equipment, most of which are used on a daily basis. The new equipment allows the maintenance staff to be more productive and reduce the down time that we saw with aged equipment. In addition, the new equipment will provide a finer quality of cut, use less fuel and have lower emissions.

In future weeks I am going to profile the different pieces of equipment, their features and how we use them.
