Russo Power Equipment revealed the launch of Russo Golf Supply, a dedicated offering for sports facilities, golf courses and turf operators.
As an authorized Hunter Golf Irrigation dealer serving northern Illinois, Russo Golf Supply pairs Hunter’s irrigation systems with Echo Robotics autonomous mowing solutions, turf equipment, parts and supplies for sports turf managers, golf superintendents and maintenance teams in the region. The launch gives these teams a single local partner for irrigation, mowing technology and turf supplies.
To give customers direct access to deep irrigation expertise, Russo Golf Supply has added Dan Feick as a specialist. Feick brings 35 years of irrigation industry experience to the role, including two decades as founder and principal of FRS Design Group, an irrigation consulting firm.
Russo Golf Supply aims to give golf and sports facilities access to advanced irrigation technology designed to improve water management, boost efficiency and support consistent turf quality. That includes Hunter’s irrigation systems, central control solutions and smart water management technologies, backed by Russo’s local inventory and irrigation experience.
Echo Robotics’ autonomous mowing and range-picking solutions round out the offering, helping golf and sports facilities address labor shortages without sacrificing course conditions. Customers also get access to turf management products, maintenance supplies, power tools, utility equipment and seasonal products.
“Golf course superintendents are being asked to do more than ever before while managing labor challenges, water usage and rising expectations for course conditions,” said Ryan Moline, Business Development Manager at Russo. “Russo Golf Supply was created to provide a local partner that understands those challenges and delivers solutions. By combining Hunter Golf Irrigation, autonomous mowing technology, equipment and supplies under one roof, we’re giving golf facilities a true one-stop shop to operate more efficiently and meet the standards their golfers expect.”
Beyond irrigation, golf and sports turf customers can also come to Russo for equipment sales, parts, service, turf management products and the operational supplies needed throughout the season, according to the company.
Products are stocked and available through Russo’s Schiller Park location, with specialized and custom-order solutions available for projects of all sizes.
