Last Tuesday we attended the Illinois Turf Expo at the USGA golf house in Lemont. This was the first year for the Expo at this location. We were able to view research plots for several different products, equipment demonstrations, and the trade show. The new wave of equipment technology for golf courses is heavily directed towards electric drives, and electric motors to operate the cutting units. I had the opportunity to operate a new mower from Jacobsen that is fully electric and could not help but think about how far equipment for golf courses has come.
Early mower for golf course use. The marketing notes the benefits of not using horses: "They leave no hoof-prints as horses do," "They are of no expense when not in use."
A new fully electric mower that will be available soon. This mower leaves no hoof-prints also!
