Golf course equipment — $300,000
This item includes the replacement of the Boots Hollow Golf Club’s 2016 fairway mower, which, at 9 years old, has surpassed its optimal service life. Over the past year, the existing equipment has incurred more than $7,000 in repair costs, and the mower was out of service for several months. Its declining reliability and increasing maintenance expenses make replacement the most efficient and cost-effective option moving forward.
This funding will also allow for the retirement of the club’s current secondary sprayer, a 1996 model that is well beyond its useful life, to be replaced with a modern GPS-controlled sprayer. The new unit will reduce labor hours, improve application precision, and significantly decrease chemical usage. The club’s existing 2014 sprayer would then move into the secondary/backup role. Maintaining a reliable backup sprayer is essential to ensure uninterrupted turf treatments, especially on greens where timing and consistency are critical.

Golf course equipment storage facility — $115,000
The Boots Hollow Golf Club’s existing maintenance building was originally constructed in the late 1960s. The current structure has extensive rust damage and multiple roof leaks, and no longer meets the club’s operation space requirements. Because it is undersized for the club’s equipment inventory, several pieces of essential equipment are stored outdoors year-round, leading to unnecessary wear and reduced service life. A new facility is necessary to protect assets, improve efficiency, and support long-term maintenance operations.

Golf course greens fans — $45,000
This funding would be used to purchase three oscillating greens fans that would assist in creating better airflow for the green complexes on Holes No. 3, No. 8, and No. 14. These areas of the course where greens are located, having minimal airflow, which causes the greens turfgrass to struggle during the hot summer months. These fans will help keep the greens healthy with abundant airflow and reduce stressed and weakened turfgrass during the summer months. The fans will help provide excellent putting surfaces for these greens.
