As I have stated in the past, part of what we do in the winter is repair and refurbish equipment. With the cost of golf course equipment regularly exceeding that of a luxury car, making our equipment last as long as possible is very crucial. I feel that you as members should know what the equipment costs and what we do to protect that investment.

| Three finished Cushman Trucksters |
Our third Cushman truckster is now finished (we are currently working on a 4th one). All have received engine and transmission servicing, new cables and hoses, new HEAVY DUTY dump beds, seats, bushings, custom front bumpers, in addition to new paint jobs. As I have stated in the past, a new Cushman truckster costs around $20,000. The cost to refurbish this equipment was about $4000 each, including labor. Because of this project, I am happy to report that we have been able to save the club approximately $70,000 in new equipment costs!

So long as parts remain available, these refurbished vehicles will continue to serve the club for many more years.
