LCCC Field Days

As the semester winds to an end, LCCC's GCO program hosted its annual industry field days at the Turf Equipment Technology building. Students were exposed to the latest turf equipment technology from three titans of the golf course industry. Jacobsen and Golf Ventures spoke to students about the company's latest hybrid technology along with new options in its rotary mowing lines. John Deere and Beard's introduced some of the technology being used in military applications in Iraq and Afghanistan and how this autonomous technology will be applied to course maintenance. Toro and Wesco Turf discussed some of their new machines to be introduced for field applications in 2011 including the newest tri-plex and walk-mowers with flexible cutting unit and hybrid technology. We would like to thank these three cornerstones of the golf maintenance industry for their investments in the Lake City GCO program.
