First is our two state of the art brand new Greens Mowers. These Hybrid Toro 3320's deliver walk mower quality with a reduction of over 50% labor. This enables us to have the highest quality of cut, appearance and ball roll with labor savings used to better detail this great facility. Another great feature is with the Hybrid technology and 14-blade reels, this gives us the ability to have the highest clip rate (times the mower cuts the crass per square inch) in the market. Here is one of our most experience crew members Juan mowing number 5 green on this lovely morning.
Second is our brand new Salsco Greens Roller, this side to side machine gives a 5 psi on each pass, this gives the most consistent ball roll and smooths out any imperfections from foot traffic, improper ball mark repairs and leaves a glassy appearance when finished. This industry leading roller will be used 2 to 3 times per week to give you a consistent and better ball roll than Canyon has ever had in the past. To the right you can see Rene rolling #2 green and leaving a pristine and tournament style ball roll.
Lastly is our two new rough units, the Toro 4700 Grounds-Masters. These machines have 7 single decks that have a solid back roller giving us a striped appearance of 12 feet. Given our acreage of the golf course when both are in operation we can give you the highest quality of cut, striped appearance with zero scalping in just under 4 hours for the entire property. With this extremely efficient mower not only can we accomplish our rough mowing faster than ever before but we can mow the golf course 3 times per week giving everyone Monday - Sunday a consistent playable rough. Here you can seeing one of my Assistants, Mr. Duane Davied mowing #4 Green Bank in 20% less time than it took before.
Many thanks to our owners and managers for finding and purchasing these amazing pieces that complete our fleet here at Canyon Farms Golf Club. I hope all of you are enjoying our more consistent and playable golf course. As always thank you for reading this blog and taking part in learning more about our Maintenance Department and our many processes that go along with maintaining a golf course.
