There is nothing quite like the feeling of climbing into the brand new car you have worked so hard for. The fresh smell of leather hits your nose as you take a seat onto a soft yet firm drivers seat. You grip the wheel with excitement as you que up your favorite playlist. You reverse out of your drive as you head to your 8am tee time with hopes of shooting your best round to date. All is right with the world.
This feeling you are imagining however is about only half the joy as we experienced this month as our Brand new equipment has started to arrive. Swope as well as the other city of Kansas City golf facilities have put together a equipment package to update many of our aging pieces and fill in any gapes in equipment that will be required to maintain the course in years to come. Some of you I'm sure have noticed some of these new pieces this month that include a new John Deere ProGator and Top Dresser. We also received our new Toro Sidewinder for mowing rough including tee and green banks. Our Superintendent Josh has been especially fond of our new John Deere 4066R Tractor which replaces one of our oldest pieces of equipment.
