Specialist Fairway nower for Macroom GC

Macroom Golf Club in Co Cork, Ireland is situated in the centre of the town, and is accessed through the impressive castle arch, the former entrance to the Demense - the grounds belonging to a mansion - of Lady Olive Ardilaun. The club has recently purchased a Jacobsen Fairway 305 from local Ransomes Jacobsen distributor Kevin Broderick Ltd.

The Fairway 305 is a medium weight four-wheel drive, five unit fairway mower with excellent reliability and productivity. The floating head cutting units follow ground contours and rear roller brushed ensure a clean finish. Four-wheel drive is a standard feature providing greater traction and a fully adjustable suspension seat gives the operator a comfortable work station.

Kieran Morris is the head greenkeeper and leads a team of six greenkeeping staff at the 18-hole, 6,038 yard course. Commenting on the Fairway 305 he said,
"At almost 3 metres, the width of cut on the 305 is impressive. That translates into very good productivity, but the highlight is its quality of cut. The finish it leaves is excellent."
