WEST CORNWALL GC INVEST
New machinery fleet

West Cornwall Golf Club, the oldest club in its county, has invested in new Toro machinery, in a move spearheaded by the club’s new course manager.

 

 

Lawrie Tremlett, the new course manager, said, “I joined West Cornwall four months ago with an aim to help progress the course and make it the best it could be. When I looked at the areas we could improve upon I realised we were relying on hand mowers for larger tasks.

“It was taking half our team two and half days a week to cut the aprons using hand mowers and a trail-behind rough mower, that just wasn’t efficient and didn’t leave much time for other tasks, so we began looking into purchasing new equipment.”

With support from the club, Lawrie contacted Devon Garden Machinery to arrange a demonstration of models from Toro’s range of ride-on mowers.

"It was exciting to get Toro machines onto the course," says Lawrie, "to see how they fared. We opted for the Greensmaster TriFlex 3400, which followed the contours of the course beautifully, the Reelmaster 3100-D which worked well on the banks and was very versatile, and the Groundsmaster 3400 which was not only powerful but cut very well in the wet.

“All of the machines impressed us, so it was an easy decision to add them to our fleet. Since we’ve had them, they’ve been incredibly reliable and we can see a big difference already.

 

"The quality of the course has improved and we’ve had brilliant feedback from our members.”
