Sustainability
Tru-Turf, a company with over 35 years of experience in designing and manufacturing rollers, has been a significant contributor to sustainable golf course management. Their rollers help reduce overall costs, mowing frequency, chemical usage, and water consumption while enhancing turf health and player satisfaction.
Key products like the RE50 and RB48 are praised for their efficiency and reliability, with the RE50 exemplifying sustainability in golf course maintenance. Electric rollers, first delivered to Grants Pass GC and Augusta National GC, have notably reduced CO2 emissions and operational costs, demonstrating substantial environmental and economic benefits.
Positive feedback from golf course managers, including those from St Andrews Links and Royal Wellington Golf Club, highlights the enhanced turf health and maintenance efficiency achieved with Tru-Turf rollers. The RE50 electric roller, powered by a reliable 48V lithium-ion battery, charges quickly, lasts longer, requires minimal maintenance, and operates quietly, minimizing environmental impact while maintaining high turf quality. The adoption of electric rollers like the RE50 promotes sustainable golf course maintenance practices, benefiting the environment, the golfer, and the overall golf industry.
