Toro is exclusive provider of turf maintenance
equipment and irrigation products to Chaska course
Hazeltine National Golf Club, located in Chaska, Minnesota, has
utilized its comprehensive fleet of Toro® turf maintenance
equipment and irrigation products to help ready the course for the
tournament, which will feature professional golfers from the United
States and Europe in head-to-head match play competition.
Chris Tritabaugh, course superintendent at Hazeltine National
Golf Club, is ultimately responsible for course preparation, and
has been preparing for the event for years. According to
Tritabaugh, he sees it as an excellent opportunity for himself and
his team to showcase the natural beauty of Hazeltine. With
preparations coming to an end, Tritabaugh gives credit to his staff
of turf professionals and the Toro mowing and irrigation equipment
for the pristine course conditions at Hazeltine.
“It’s truly an honor to have Hazeltine on the world’s stage and
host many of today’s top professional golfers,” explained
Tritabaugh. “We couldn’t have done it without three things: the
hard work from our staff here at Hazeltine, the great relationship
with our distributor, MTI Distributing, and top-quality mowing and
irrigation equipment from Toro.”
According to Tritabaugh, hosting the event has really energized
his crew, and the team is excited to have their work on display for
the global golfing community. Tritabaugh has been using Toro
equipment for a number of years and claims the premium equipment
has been essential in preparing the course for the upcoming
tournament.
“With our partner MTI Distributing, we are honored to support
Chris and his team as they prepare the course at Hazeltine to star
on the world’s stage during this prestigious event,” said Michael
J. Hoffman, chairman and chief executive officer of The Toro
Company. “We take pride in our long-standing relationship with
Hazeltine, just as we are humbled to have served so many of the
Ryder Cup host courses dating back to the very first in 1927.”
The 2016 competition will take place from September 30 – October
2, 2016, at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota. For
