Golf Course Architecture - Issue 79, January 2025

PROMOTED Jacobsen Booth: 2923 Jacobsen played a pivotal role in electrifying Le Golf National near Paris, France, for the 2024 Olympics Games, showcasing its commitment to sustainability and innovation. A fully electric fleet of turf maintenance vehicles was introduced, including the AR1 ELiTE, SLF1 ELiTE, TR1 ELiTE, Eclipse 2 ELiTE and a Cushman Hauler PRO-X ELiTE. These vehicles offer significant environmental benefits, such as zero-hydraulic use, reduced noise pollution and over 95 per cent reduction in carbon emissions compared to internal combustion engines. Jacobsen’s electric equipment also enhances operator comfort by minimising vibrations and noise levels. Jacobsen’s advanced technology, including the web-based Shield system with Pace Technology, further optimises fleet management and operational efficiency. Husqvarna Booth: 3951 Philadelphia Cricket Club has acquired 35 autonomous mowers from Husqvarna to enhance the golf experience across its three courses and facilities. These mowers have reduced noise, eliminated disruptions from large equipment and transformed the ambiance of the club – a change members and neighbours have embraced. “When you quiet the golf experience and remove the noise of loud equipment, you’ve really changed the nature of the experience,” said Dan Meersman, the club’s chief planning officer. By optimising labour efficiency and cutting fuel costs, the club has improved course maintenance. Husqvarna is aiming to reshape the golfing standard through quiet operations and ensuring an unparalleled experience for members and guests alike.
