Head Greenkeeper, Neil Middleton has started the new season at Milngavie Golf Club with the addition of a refurbished Jacobsen TR330, 3-reel cylinder trim mower.
Delivered to the East Dunbartonshire club by Stuart Cameron of Fairways GM, the purchase was made to tackle hard-to-reach areas including bunker faces, roughs, steep slopes and tight turns.
“It’s only been a couple of weeks, but already this is a massive upgrade from the machine we retired,” said Neil.
“One of the main reasons for purchase was the AdaptiShift function and slope performance. Its side-shifting reel moves the cutting units up to 30 cm to either side. Our tee bankings and green bankings are full of undulations and tight spots. The TR330 brings the manoeuvrability and scope to give them as precise a cut as we do the rest of the surfaces. We couldn’t achieve this uniformity and quality until now.”
Other additions to the parkland course have included three new staff members over the last 12 months. Neil and greenkeeper Robert Wards have been joined by Nick McEley, Mitchell Miller-Williams and Cameron Kerr.
“Whether it’s building the right team on the course or having dependable support behind you, good people make a real difference.
“I enjoy working with Fairways GM,” continued Neil. “On sales, Stuart Cameron really knows his stuff, but it’s also the back-up from the service team and the peace of mind they bring. We have very few problems, but if we need anything, any of the engineers who attend — whether Stuart Mulholland, Willie Ronald or Reece Johnson — are exemplary in how they conduct themselves and help us.”
