NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2009 Course condition results in 140 new members at Aldwickbury Park


has welcomed over 140 new members this year and according to course manager Stuart Langhorn the condition of the course is one of the major factors.“the overwhelming reason why we are seeing growth in membership is the investment in the course condition improving year on year.


Even in today’s harsh


economic climate we are still attracting new members.” During his time at the club


he has worked closely with the Benington branch of Ernest Doe and Sons Ltd, who are main dealers for Ransomes Jacobsen. “I’ve been running a Jacobsen Tri-King tees mower, an AR250 rotary mower, a Cushman Turf- Truckster and a Turfco SP1530 top dresser for some time now,


all purchased from Does,” he added. “We needed to upgrade our ageing tractor with something in the 50 hp range, with the power and lift capacity to handle our Wiedenmann deep aerator, Lewis trencher and large Rotomech rotary mowing deck.


Does


demonstrated their Iseki TG5470 and it proved to be ideal for our requirements with plenty of power for all the attachments”.

all with either our XP, or our XF. We’ve used them to systematically cover the course quickly and efficiently; the XP using its deeper tines on the fairways and the soil-based greens and the XF has been used everywhere,” says Jim .
