Cedric Gough, Course Manager, has had to find alternatives for mowing the steep banks that line the fairways.

Previously these were maintained with hover mowers or small ride-on machines.

With the added demand from members wanting the club’s fairway banks maintained, a trial was arranged on site and both the small and larger machines were put through their paces.

The larger machine, with it’s wider width of cut and powered winch providing the capability to tackle inclines greater than 40°, was the preferred option.

A further demonstration to the Greens Committee was arranged, who endorsed the decision to purchase the Spider II.
