Jacobsen
turf equipment is an Official Supplier of The 2018 Ryder Cup at Le Golf
National, and is providing tournament support to the greenkeeping team during
the competition as well as the recent HNA Open de France tournament.
Technical
staff from the Ransomes Jacobsen facility in Ipswich assist staff based at
Ransomes Jacobsen France (RJF) in Toulouse throughout both competitions.
In
2016, Le Golf National signed a five-year preferred supplier agreement with
Ransomes Jacobsen. The prestigious golf course, which belongs to the French
Federation of Golf, has demonstrated its confidence in Ransomes Jacobsen
France, which has supplied equipment to the facility since 2010.
In
addition to the course’s regular fleet of Jacobsen equipment, an additional 31
pieces of equipment have been delivered to support The Ryder Cup and HNA Open
de France.
The
additional machinery consists of nine Eclipse 2 greens mowers, three SLF-1880
fairway mowers, three AR-3 rotary mowers, two Jacobsen Trucksters, four Smithco
Lite rollers and 11 mower caddies.
An
additional three Eclipse 2 greens mowers will be delivered after the HNA Open
de France, to assist with The Ryder Cup preparations.
Alejandro
Reyes, Golf and Courses and Estate Manager at Le Golf National, said of the
support provided by Jacobsen and RJF: “The quality of machinery, the back-up
support, and the product innovation are just some of the reasons we choose
Jacobsen.
"Together,
we have created a world-class golf course that will host the HNA Open de
France, The 2018 Ryder Cup and the Olympics in 2024.”
