https://www.ventrac.com/ The Links Shell Cove Golf Club located on the coast of New South Wales, Australia. Overseeing the maintenance of this unique and picturesque golf course is Shane George and he describes how the Ventrac has strengthened turf quality and allowed members to experience the course more fully than ever before.
The beautifully undulating links style course features some areas of +20 grade, where George and his staff were never able to mow. Using the Ventrac and Tough Cut mowing deck and tractor with dual wheels, they are able to keep these hills of tall grass manicured at all times, allowing further access on the steeper terrains.
Ventrac’s Contour mower provides perfect precision for steep grounds and grassy hollows with its three independently floating decks that follow the contour of terrain. With up to 40 degrees of motion on each side of the deck, George’s crew enjoys operating the Ventrac any chance they get.
The Aerator is great for treating those areas of heavy wear and tear on the fairway by providing improved air exchange between soil and atmosphere, better soil water and fertilizer intake, and reduced water runoff and puddling. Ultimately, aerating with the Ventrac Aerator creates a stronger turf grass root structure while reducing soil compaction.
But when Shell Cove does experience heavy rain events, George says the Ventrac is able to be used the next day without hesitation. In the past, other machines could not be used on the turf for up to 3-4 weeks without leaving dark track marks on the fairways. They no longer have marks on the turf with Ventrac’s light footprint.
Every golf course superintendent is under pressure to save money and the Ventrac has saved Shell Cove many man-hours while immensely improving the quality of the turf. The mount system for all these attachments is convenient for George and his crew who can switch out attachments in a matter of minutes. Instead of having multiple machines for a single use, he has one machine with multiple attachments that saves them time and money.
