Woodhall Spa Golf Club has completely overhauled its machinery fleet by switching brands to John Deere.

John Deere territory manager, Mark O’Meara, with Woodhall Spa’s course director Peter Moore and Scott Trestrail, area sales manager at Ripon Ground Care
 
The club says dealer service, technology and reliability drove the decision to remove its existing machines and invest in new cutting units, Gator utility vehicles, GPS sprayers and a compact tractor.
 
Embracing cloud-based software, the greenkeeping team responsible for maintaining the iconic Hotchkin and Bracken courses will now use John Deere’s new Operations Centre PRO-Golf platform to allocate daily tasks, track input costs, schedule servicing and generate reports.
 
John Deere dealer Ripon Ground Care delivered the 26 pieces of machinery on 19 February and will now lead a programme of staff training and optimisation to ensure maximum efficiency and performance from the fleet.

Scott Trestrail, area sales manager at Ripon, said, “It's great that Woodhall Spa Golf Club recognises the whole package available, from seamless equipment integration, cutting-edge technology plus the reliability and back-up. We look forward to working with and supporting the club going forwards.”
 
Peter Moore, course director at Woodhall Spa Golf Club, added, “We were impressed with the build quality and the GPS technology during the intensive demonstration period. All the team were involved in the decision giving feedback on each item of equipment.”
