In 2024, Shaughnessy Golf Club installed a new 300-gallon mixing station at the maintenance facility. The addition of this station has improved environmental safety, application efficiency, and operator safety. The mixing station creates a controlled environment that minimizes the risk of spills, runoff, and contamination of nearby water sources. Built-in agitators ensure products are thoroughly mixed before application, preventing concentrated products from dispersing onto sensitive turf areas.
A dedicated water source for tank filling is located next to the mixing station, reducing the need for transit between mixing locations and minimizing sprayer emissions. Safety features are also integrated into the setup, including spill kits, personal protective equipment, and access to safety data sheets. The installation of the mixing station has improved both operational efficiency and environmental protection.
