Customer Profile
Old Waverly Golf Club, located in West Point, Mississippi, is an 18-hole championship golf course rated by the PGA as the most challenging in Mississippi. Designed by Jerry Pate and Bob Cupp, Old Waverly was chosen as the host of the 1999 U.S. Women’s Open Championship.
Application
Old Waverly Golf Club has a wide variety of grounds equipment for mowing and maintaining the fairways, greens and surrounding property.
Challenge
Mark Barkes, chief mechanic, was concerned with the commercial grade lubricant that was being used, running out or dripping on greens and fairways, and as a result, leaving small coin sized marks where the grass was killed or burned. Mark was looking for a product that would withstand the trying conditions to which his equipment is exposed. Examples are: very hot temperatures of a Mississippi summer, damp and wet conditions during or after rains and equipment wash-downs, dust and dirt during dry periods, and constant impact loads.
LE Solution
The local LE lubrication consultant recommended Quinplex® Food Machinery Lubricant (4025), which is white in color and water resistant. It resists high temperatures, clings to metal, is rust and corrosion inhibited, and mechanically stable.
Results
Old Waverly Golf Club is very impressed by the performance of Quinplex 4025. The main benefit experienced by Waverly, is that it won’t wash out or emulsify when in contact with moisture. They are also impressed with it’s resistance to “pound out” or “sling off” in high impact areas. Because of this performance, Waverly is using Quinplex 4025 in all of their equipment.
