Located on the north Norfolk coast, Hunstanton Golf Club, with its superb championship links course, has recently purchased a Spray Star 2000 self-propelled sprayer from local dealer, Ernest Doe and Sons.
Commenting on the new machine, head greenkeeper Peter Read said: “This sprayer is a big leap forward and is really simple to operate. It might look complicated, but it’s extremely easy and intuitive. The guidance system is superb and you only spray the areas you want to.
“You simply cannot overspray with this machine. It might sound complicated, but the pulse rate modulation system allows the droplet size exiting the nozzle to increase or decrease to maintain the desired application rate at any speed. You don’t have to understand it; it just works.
“I’m saving around £600 every time I apply a wetting agent and that’s twice a month on greens and three times on fairways during the summer. I’ll probably save a further £2,000 on fungicide applications during the year.
“The spraying technology is just so good; you can be spraying an area, come across golfers, stop and return later and it picks up exactly where you left off. No wasted product and no over spray. It’s brilliant!”
