Newest Golf Course Technology

Robotic Greens Mower

After seeing this new mower at the 2009 GIS Turf Conference & Show, I had to rub my eyes a few times to make sure I wasn't imagining it. This is the newest offering in automated mowing for the golf course industry. Yep, that's right....Look Mom, no hands! I had a chance to talk to the manufacturer and these guys really did their homework. This baby is all electric, is completely programmable via a standard office computer, and has a whole host of programming options to tailor the mowing sequence to fit each golf course's individual mowing needs. Right now, it's a little pricey at about $30 Grand each, with 4 needed to mow the greens on an 18 hole golf course. I think we'll wait a little while before jumping on this band wagon.

If you would like to learn more or if you want to buy one or two of these to donate to our golf operation :-) you can learn more at: Precise Path
