Highlights from the GCSAA Conference and Trade Show

The GCSAA Conference and Trade Show is the premier event for the turfgrass industry, bringing together professionals for education, innovation and networking. This year’s event in San Diego featured a dynamic lineup of interactive education, hands-on experiences, golf events, product demonstrations and an expansive show floor with nearly 450 exhibitors.

A proud partner and sponsor of the GCSAA, Toro maintained a strong presence at this year’s event, showcasing cutting-edge technologies and equipment designed to streamline golf course management, improve efficiency and elevate course conditions.

Here are just a few of the many innovations that were on display this year:

Spatial Adjust Integration with Lynx® Central Control
Through a partnership with TerraRad, Toro is integrating its new Spatial Adjust software exclusively with the Lynx® Central Control platform. Built with superintendents in mind, this first-of-its-kind software tool provides precision irrigation control to help courses reduce operational costs, conserve water and create optimal turf conditions.

The new software leverages TerraRad’s turfRad smart sensors installed on Toro equipment to map soil moisture levels while mowing. The data is sent to Lynx Central Control, where it can be viewed in real time on color-coded maps that indicate moisture variations. To ensure proper irrigation customized to course needs, the software provides individual sprinkler adjustment recommendations that can be made with the click of a button.

Turf Pro™ 500/300
The Turf Pro™ is a state-of-the-art autonomous robotic mower capable of mowing up to 18.5 acres with precision and efficiency. It utilizes advanced technology to achieve consistently clean, well-maintained turf with minimal operator input and quiet operation, ensuring little to no disruption for golfers or nearby residents.

The mower cares for every inch of turf without sacrificing quality and frees up maintenance crews to apply their specialized skills to other needs across the course.

Range Pro™ 100
The Range Pro™ is an autonomous golf ball-picking robot that streamlines the labor-intensive task of collecting golf balls from the driving range. Capable of collecting up to 19,500 balls in 24 hours, the Range Pro™ is a game-changer for golf courses looking to save time and labor while freeing up staff for other important tasks. It keeps the range clean and ready for golfers all day — without disruption. Its design minimizes the need for manual labor, enabling course staff to focus on other critical tasks throughout the day.

Intelli360™
This web-based digital toolkit simplifies how equipment managers and superintendents keep operations running smoothly, from one day to the next. It allows users to manage equipment fleets from anywhere on the property, monitoring operating status, hours and upcoming maintenance needs. Additionally, the Intelli360™ home page gives users the ability to create work orders, schedule labor and set due dates — all from one central hub.
