Greenkeeping – from scythe to robotic mower

In the early days of golf in Switzerland, greenkeeping simply involved cutting the grass on pastureland short enough to allow for putting. Today, greenkeeping is a recognised profession that involves far more than just mowing the grass and keeping bunkers clean. In the third millennium, greenkeepers are responsible for striking a balance between nature, business and the golfer’s enjoyment.
