If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. The maintenance of the stadium also requires human and material support. Lawn machinery accounts for a large proportion of the fixed assets of European and American golf courses. Generally, the value of lawn machinery for a standard 18-hole course is about 5 million. How to scientifically manage and use lawn machinery is one of the topics that golf course managers have always been concerned about. In the nearly 100 years of golf course development, course maintenance tools have also shown rapid reform with the development of golf courses and technological advancement.
Golf course maintenance is an important part of golf course construction. It is a part that combines continuity and complexity. It also tests the overall view of the course manager and the coordination between the turf director, the general manager, and the owner. Due to limited manpower and the expansion of the court area, lawn machinery has become a good helper for people. Its use makes court maintenance more scientific and efficient. Under the trend of technological innovation, let’s see how maintenance tools have changed over the past century and how they can be used on the golf course.
Innovative technological changes
With the advancement of technology and the emphasis on stadium maintenance cost control, investment in human capital is no longer the best choice. Its role has begun to gradually weaken, and the increase in machinery costs has begun to go on the right track. This is also thanks to those ingenious equipment manufacturers. In fact, all golf course managers are very grateful for the new tools that have emerged in this revolutionary trend. From aerators, fertilizer spreaders, blowers to sprayers, they will all share their experience with them. We present tools that play an important role in court care.
Efficient and interesting ventilator
In golf course maintenance, green aeration technology is very critical. Aeration can increase the probability of water penetration into the soil, reduce soil compaction, stimulate the lawn, help healthier plant root growth, help control thatch construction, and improve the overall growth conditions. Here, aeration is usually done twice, sometimes more if there are certain problems with the lawn. After the customer purchased a Turf aercore, the course maintenance project was upgraded. During the maintenance process, with racks and spacing arrangements of the same inner diameter, it takes about half an hour to complete a green.
The manager of a golf club also presented an example of a ventilation device. He said it was unimaginable how much trouble it would cause to the greens of his course without this turf aercore. Due to the geographical location, the greens of the course are more difficult to operate and maintain than others. He pointed out that the four greens on the course were covered and there was little air flow, which was very detrimental to the growth of the greens. So every Monday in winter, they had to use tools to aerate the grass roots, and Monday was the time for the aeration device to work. At the same time, it will not cause any damage to the lawn during lawn maintenance. In the era of technological upgrading, managers’ requirements for maintenance machinery have gradually increased.
