Here's a little song I just wrote. Dedicated to Al Gore.

40 years in Lexington and I’ve never seen them fumble road-clearing like this after a snowstorm. On ramps, off ramps, turn lanes, merging lanes, and intersections have been completely ignored.

This guy built this hole in Kentucky. I think it’s the best hole ever built in Kentucky. Maybe his best built hole ever. Just my opinion.

Top Reasons Golf Courses Should Buy Kress Robotic Mowers
🟢 1. Pristine Turf Quality
Kress mowers deliver a uniform, high-precision cut across fairways, greens, and roughs.
Their dual-layer razor blades and auto-leveling cutting discs ensure consistent results even on uneven terrain.
Advanced mulching technology naturally fertilizes the turf, promoting healthier grass and soil.
🔇 2. Ultra-Quiet Operation
Traditional diesel mowers operate at ~105 dB, while Kress robotic mowers run at ~60 dB—comparable to a normal conversation.
This dramatically reduces noise pollution, enhancing the golfer experience and preserving the serene ambiance of the course.
💰 3. Cost and Labor Efficiency
Autonomous mowing frees up skilled staff for more detailed landscaping tasks.
Reduces labor costs, fuel expenses, and maintenance overhead.
Kress mowers are lightweight (~46–55 lbs), minimizing turf compaction and extending turf lifespan.
🌍 4. Environmentally Friendly
Fully electric and zero-emission operation supports sustainable course management.
Energy-efficient motors and regenerative braking systems further reduce environmental impact.
📡 5. Advanced RTK Navigation
Kress uses Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) satellite guidance for centimeter-level accuracy—no need for perimeter wires or on-site antennas.
Mowers can navigate complex terrain, slopes, and tight corners with ease.
Dead reckoning and inertial navigation allow continued operation even under tree cover or weak satellite signal.
📱 6. Smart Technology & Fleet Management
Controlled via mobile app with real-time updates, remote scheduling, and zone customization.
Fleet management tools allow simultaneous operation of up to 10 mowers.
Features like obstacle avoidance, anti-theft GPS tracking, and child/pet safety modes enhance reliability and safety.
🏞️ 7. Adaptability to Course Design
Mowers adjust cutting height electronically for different zones (fairway, semi-rough, rough).
They respect the natural contours of the course, eliminating the need to redesign turf layouts.

On this day in 1872, a legend was born in Dornoch. Donald Ross, one of the greatest figures in golf course architecture, began his journey right here in the Scottish Highlands. Serving as Dornoch’s “keeper of the greens” and its first Professional from 1893 to 1898, Ross honed his craft on the rugged, natural beauty of his hometown course, Royal Dornoch.
In 1899, he took that passion across the Atlantic, where he designed over 400 courses, shaping the future of golf in North America. Yet, the rolling fairways and undulating greens of Dornoch were always his guiding influence.
From Pinehurst No. 2 to Seminole, Ross’s designs remain timeless, blending strategy with artistry, just as he learned on the windswept links of the Highlands.
Here’s to Donald Ross, a true pioneer whose work continues to inspire golfers around the globe.
