Gorleston Golf Club Go Jacobsen

November 24, 2020/in News, Press Release/by Juliet Liddell

Gorleston Golf Club Go Jacobsen: With an ageing fleet and the decision made to replace it, quality of cut, comfort and simplicity saw Gorleston Golf Club go for nine new Jacobsen mowers.

Situated in Norfolk, the course hugs the coastline with stray shots on some holes in danger of landing in the North Sea. Its location in East Anglia makes it England’s most easterly course, with the seventh green claiming the accolade of being the most easterly in the country.

The new fleet of machines including three Greens King 522s, an AR320, and three GP400s were selected by Course Manager, Danny Perring, with the backing of the greens committee and the advice of Jacobsen dealer Ernest Doe.

Various manufacturers were assessed throughout the procurement process. Still, it was what the Jacobsen’s offered as a package, including the service of Ernest Doe’s Groundcare Area Sales Manager, Stuart Patterson, that impressed Danny the most.

“The golf club was in a situation where we needed to renew all our machinery, and that is what initially drew us towards Jacobsen,” Danny Began. “The best way of doing this was all together in a package deal, so we put some quotes together, and other manufacturers came in, Ernest Doe with Jacobsen were on top of the job, and they came back really quickly.

“The quality of cut on all the mowers is brilliant. It’s as good if not better than anything I’ve used before. The whole simple factor of Jacobsen is they don’t make things too complicated, the machines are easy to maintain, they’re comfortable, and the guys really enjoy using them.

“That’s one thing myself and the guys really like about Jacobsen and also it’s the aftercare and maintenance. Ernest Doe and Jacobsen are always quick to get someone here within 24 hours. We never have any mowers out of working order for more than 24 hours, and that’s one of the main reasons we bought and went with Jacobsen.

“In the past at previous jobs, I have used other manufacturers, and Jacobsen was just as good if not better in quality of performance and to top everything off the price was good value for money. Nobody else could really touch the price, and that’s how we settled on the mowers and using Jacobsen.”

Simplicity with maintenance and operation combined with a signature high-quality cut has always been the cornerstone of Jacobsen machines. Providing comfort where it is needed on the AR320, simple maintenance with the swing-out centre reel on the GP400 or an easy to use command systems on the Greens King 522 allows operators to consistently make the most of the high-quality cut.

Patrick Desmond the General manager for Kioti Uk comments that, “For Kioti UK Cees was a great and much loved figure head, mentor and friend. He was well known throughout the Groundcare industry. His contacts went back many years and all have great tales to tell of their experiences doing business with Cees.

Cees van der Pols passes away

The family have been taken back by the high volume and warmth of the messages that have received from across the world. No one can believe that a man who, right to the end was full of so much life and vitality.

Cees suffered a heart attack Wednesday 18^th Wednesday 2020. Regrettably he never came to. He died surrounded by his family the following evening”.

Piet van der Pols makes the following statement.

“It is with great sadness that we have to inform you that our father, husband and grandfather Cees van der Pols, passed away on Thursday, November 19th. We feel deflated and words cannot express our loss.

Led by Cees van der Pols, initially with his brothers, our family business, founded in 1933, has grown over the last 40 years into a leading company in the groundscare- and recycling industry. With his entrepreneurship and great business vision, Cees has managed to secure many import contracts for the Dutch market and helped our company to grow to it’s current position.

In 2015 Cees had decided to take a step back and let the next generation take over the business. As passionate and lively as Cees was, he was still heavily involved and working on a daily basis in the company.

Since 2016 one of his pet projects and passions was the launch of Kioti UK. The success of the company was a result of his energy and vision.

Cees van der Pols, a remarkable person, an entrepreneur, a leader, a beacon and above all an example for everyone, is no longer with us. Cees van der Pols reached the age of 70 and will be missed by all.

On behalf of the family and staff,

Piet van der Pols

Director Technische Handelsonderneming C. v/d Pols & Zn. And Kioti UK Ltd.
