Stop dragging expensive hoses! Stop dragging hose in and out of a utility cart. The Course Caddie holds 150 ft on a smooth-rolling trailer with a lockable tool box. Hitch it to anything with a flat bar. Your back will thank you!

Courses in the Northwest saw increased damage from summer patch this year. Prevention should be a priority going forward – especially if changing weather patterns continue favoring disease development.

Hey Turf Crew!
We need to switch out our Water Pump in Bob our campervan. Any chance there’s a golf course around Phoenix that wouldn’t mind letting us use the shop for a couple hours? We could be there Friday morning!
Please retweet or tag somebody you know in the area. Thank you!
Coffee and donuts on me!
