Is it worth it for golf clubs to invest in diesel vehicles for development in 2024? Despite the current trend, diesel vehicles will still be permitted for use in the UK until 2035, as opposed to the previously suggested deadline of 2030.
Similar to the EU’s plan, the UK is very likely to ban the sale of petrol and diesel vans from 2035. What have you heard about this?
I believe it will take more than ten years to transition to electric commercial vehicles. Now, let’s find out which precision sprayer Newquay Golf Club in Cornwall, UK) purchased.
Newquay Golf Club took delivery of the John Deere HD200 ProGator precision sprayer earlier this month after identifying the machine as a tool to reduce costs and enhance its environmental profile.
This is the first of its kind to be installed in the region and was supplied by local dealer Masons Kings.
John Deere’s advanced GPS sprayer represents a paradigm shift in contemporary golf course upkeep.
It pledges to elevate the precision of applications for fungicides, herbicides, or nutrients on tee boxes, fairways, and greens, thus signaling a significant advancement in maintenance practices.
The John Deere HD200 ProGator is packed with advanced features including
- autosteer,
- data recording, and
- independent nozzle control which automatically shuts off when the sprayer boom reaches a set boundary.
These innovations ensure efficient and eco-friendly operations, enabling precise treatment applications and minimising waste by avoiding spraying non-target areas such as bunkers and hedges.
Masons Kings’ dedicated Integrating Technologies Team carried out the installation with Head Greenkeeper Dan Kendle and the club’s greenkeeping staff, ensuring that the sprayer is fully operational and ready to deliver top-tier performance.
