First E-Z-GO ELiTE Golf Cars Purchased in Europe

The Dutch golfing society was also the first club in Europe to purchase a fleet of 10 E-Z-GO RXV golf cars in 2008. The new fleet comprises of 15 E-Z-GO RXV ELiTE golf cars, all of which feature integrated Textron Fleet Management GPS (TFM GPS).

Arnoud de Jager is the managing director at the club after being involved in the construction of the golf course as head greenkeeper in 2000. Arnoud has held his current position for 10 years now. Commenting on the recent investment, he said:

“It feels great to be the first in Europe to adopt this new technology, and be able to offer our members a unique, immersive golfing experience. We have around 700 members, and our top priority is providing them with the best quality whether that is playing surfaces, clubhouse facilities or golf cars.

“Our maintenance team also loves the new vehicles; there is zero maintenance required on the batteries of the new golf cars, and they are light, which means there is less stress on the turf. The charging time has also been dramatically reduced, which saves us time and energy costs. It really was a no-brainer investment.

“Our relationship with Van der Pols and E-Z-GO is fantastic. We are very proud to be the first customers not once, but twice. A big part of our purchasing decision was due to the superb after-sales support from our dealer, and the knowledge that all of the staff have at the company. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we are very pleased with the results so far.”

Andre Andrade, International Director of Golf Sales at Textron Golf said:

“We are very appreciative of the support and confidence that Golfsociëteit De Lage Vuursche has placed in our E-Z-GO product range from day one. We believe the quality and innovation of our products are key in meeting the needs of our customers. We always listen to what they want when we design our products, and this is evident in the new ELiTE Series that we have recently launched. We have already received a huge volume of enquires and orders for the new golf cars, which is testament to the product development team at Textron Golf.”

Golfsociëteit De Lage Vuursche is a members-only club which opened in 2000. The 18-hole course was designed by Kyle Phillips and is regarded as one of the best in the country. Facilities include a wellness centre, meeting rooms and a restaurant.

New Addition To ICL’s Greenmaster Pro-Lite Range

August 18, 2017/in Press Release, Sport/by Lucy Nicholls

New Addition To ICL’s Greenmaster Pro-Lite Range: ICL has announced the launch of an upgrade to its autumn/winter fine turf fertilizer range.

Greenmaster Pro-Lite Invigorator Plus 4-0-14 +8Fe +2MgO is a new formulation to fit within the autumn/winter turf range with higher iron and potassium content than the original Invigorator.

Over recent years, ICL’s Greenmaster Pro-Lite fertilizers have gained a reputation as an outstanding micro-granular fertilizer range, for high quality, fine turf nutrition. With eleven various formulations within the range, Greenmaster Pro-Lite offers a solution for every requirement in every season.

“The new formulation Invigorator Plus has been developed to give an improved colour response and greater longevity,” says Henry Bechelet, Technical Sales Manager for ICL Turf & Landscape in the UK & Ireland. “It is designed to sustain turf health through autumn, winter and spring and help reduce the risk of disease and moss invasion into high quality turf. We are excited about this new formulation because it contains the mineral polyhalite, which we have found can bring enhanced turf colour and quality responses.”

Polyhalite is an organic multi-fertilizer which contains sulphur, potassium, magnesium and calcium which are all fully available to the plant. Deposited over 200 million years ago, it is a complex crystal product which has been discovered at a depth of 1300 metres below the earth’s surface under the North Sea and is mined at ICL’s own mine in Cleveland.

With polyhalite now included in a number of ICL fertilizers, turf managers have been quick to report excellent results and Henry believes that this trend is set to continue with the launch of Invigorator Plus.

“This new analysis was tested against various alternatives and proved to be the best in terms of turf colour, quality and longevity. We know that the original Greenmaster Invigorator already has a loyal following and so we are running the Invigorator Plus alongside its sister formulation. We hope that everyone using Invigorator Plus this autumn and winter will see the added benefits of this new formulation.”
