Robotic automowers for golf course (and all kinds of) turf with Janne Lehto, MG

The ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods

Janne Lehto from Hirsala Golf joined me to discuss robotic automowers. Hirsala Golf currently has a fleet of 36 machines, mowing all fairways and 75% of the rough with these autonomous mowers. We discussed mowing heights, some of the interesting benefits that come with using these types of machines, and discussed a few drawbacks.
