 <\/p>\n

Toro\u00ae<\/sup> equipment is being put to the ultimate test as preparations for The 147th Open<\/a> at Carnoustie Golf Links<\/a> in Carnoustie, Scotland, are in the final stages. The Open Championship takes place July 15-22, 2018, marking the eighth time Carnoustie has hosted the tournament.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the culmination of a months-long process, with long hours making sure every detail is just right for the players \u2014 along with the 185,000-plus spectators, officials, media representatives and support staff that are expected.<\/p>\n

Performing Under Pressure
\n<\/strong>\u201cPreparation for The Open starts after the last one finishes,\u201d notes Craig Boath, Head Greenkeeper at Carnoustie\u2019s Championship Course. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of pressure in the lead-up to The Open and the tournament week itself. But with the help of Toro, we can get the quality of cut and the course looking amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Sandy Reid, Links Superintendent at Carnoustie, it\u2019s a matter of refining the course conditions compared to everyday play. \u201cWe want to present the best players in the world with a true links test, we want the turf to be firm and consistent, [and] we want the greens to be rolling true,\u201d he explains. \u201cFrom a playability standpoint, that\u2019s the main thing that we want to concentrate on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carnoustie\u2019s Toro Lineup
\n<\/strong>According to Reid, Carnoustie is using Toro\u2019s Greensmaster\u00ae<\/sup> Flex™ 21<\/a> walk-behind (pedestrian) mowers on the greens, Greensmaster TriFlex™ Series 3420 Hybrid<\/a> greens mowers on greens, tees and surrounds, and Reelmaster\u00ae<\/sup> 5410<\/a> mowers on fairways \u2014 as well as Groundsmaster\u00ae<\/sup> 3500-D<\/a> and Reelmaster 3100<\/a> with the Sidewinder\u00ae<\/sup> system on semi-roughs and surrounds. In addition, the Carnoustie team uses the ProCore\u00ae<\/sup> 648 for aeration throughout the course, along with Workman\u00ae<\/sup> utility vehicles.<\/p>\n

Sandy McCubbin, Head Maintenance Engineer at Carnoustie credits Toro equipment for delivering reliability, ease of use and quality of finish in the end. \u201cThe most important part of my job has got to be the quality of cut on the cutting units \u2014 to make sure the cutting sharpness is spot on,\u201d he affirms. \u201cEven more so with The Open coming because all eyes of the world are on our greens.\u201d<\/p>\n

A 30+ Year Relationship
\n<\/strong>\u201cWe\u2019ve used Toro equipment for over 30 years at Carnoustie,\u201d Reid adds. \u201cOver the years we\u2019ve had a fantastic relationship with the Toro people, from their sales team [to] their after-sales team and the support that they\u2019ve provided over the years \u2014 whether it be tournament support [or] just generally looking after all our needs here. The engineers, they really listen to the greenkeeper in order to keep their machinery moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always go back to Toro year after year because it\u2019s user friendly, it\u2019s reliable and it\u2019s something we always count on,\u201d echoes Boath.<\/p>\n

Tough Reputation
\n<\/strong>Carnoustie Golf Links has earned a reputation as one of the toughest golf destinations in the world, with a history in the game that dates back to the early 16th century. That\u2019s because the course poses several unique challenges. It\u2019s located on an exposed stretch of Scotland\u2019s east coast, making it susceptible to strong winds. It has challenging bunkering. And it\u2019s not only narrow; at over 7,400 yards, it\u2019s the longest course to host The Open.<\/p>\n

Carnoustie Golf Links is made up of three courses: the Burnside Course, the Buddon Links Course and the Championship Course, which has hosted seven previous Open Championships. In 2016, the Championship Course was ranked as the No. 1 course in Scotland by the general public.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a greenkeeper, it\u2019s the peak of our career\u201d
\n<\/strong>Although it has taken a tremendous amount of teamwork and coordination, the preparations leading up to the week of The Open have been well worth it. In Reid\u2019s words: \u201cThe Open Championship is the biggest tournament in the world, with the best players and a worldwide audience. As a greenkeeper, it\u2019s the peak of our career \u2014 and we thoroughly look forward to hosting it.\u201d<\/p>\n
