The team at Carnwath Golf Club in South Lanarkshire took such good care of their Jacobsen LF3800 fairway mower that it delivered 20 reliable seasons and more than 6,000 hours of service. The original machine was supplied by Fairways GM, making the new LF570 a repeat purchase for the club — albeit one separated by two decades.
All good things eventually come to an end, and this season Head Greenkeeper Davie Cowan decided to call time on it. When the moment came to choose a replacement, the latest equivalent, the Jacobsen LF570, was the obvious choice.
Fairways GM’s Area Sales Manager, Stuart Cameron, supplied the new machine.
“We just wanted more of the same,” said Davie.
“We got it Easter week and are cutting fairways once a week until temperatures rise and we move to twice weekly. We could see instantly the difference it made. New technology means it’s quicker, sharper, has more horsepower — 44 hp instead of 35 hp — but essentially it’s a better version of a really good machine.
Carnwath is a fine parkland course with rolling greens, gently undulating fairways and wide countryside views.
“With a clear run, and a push on, we will be able to get all 18 fairways done in a day. However, as the season gets busier you have to put golfers’ needs first and we will be delighted with 16 and this quality of cut.”
