In our relentless effort to maintain our fabulous green, BLBC has purchased a brand new, state-of-the-art, electric roller to replace our ancient gas-powered one.  It was delivered last Thursday, and it was love at first sight.  It is a beauty.

Why an electric roller?  For the same reason many buy EV cars: economics, convenience, and eco-friendliness.  When we powered it on for the first time, we were stunned by how quiet it is; no more heavy, unsightly earmuffs and no more worrying about disturbing our neighbors.  Moreover, it is equipped with lights, so our greenskeepers can roll before sunrise if necessary.

Aside from the EV benefits, the new roller is about three feet longer than the old one so that it takes far fewer passes to roll the entire green.

We purchased the roller from an Australian-based company and ours is only the second electric roller currently operating in the U.S.
