Golfdom’s Hot List: A Q&A with Par Aide

Dan Brown, director of sales and marketing, Par Aide

What makes your product a game changer for golf course maintenance?

The AccuTrim changes the way irrigation head trimming is done. Its drill-powered, patent-pending design trims irrigation heads cleanly in seconds; no hand-cutting, no inconsistent results.

With interchangeable cutting-head sizes, it fits the most common irrigation models. It’s faster, safer and cleaner than anything most superintendents have used for this task.

How does your offering improve operational efficiency for golf course managers?

Irrigation-head trimming is traditionally slow, repetitive, and labor-intensive. The AccuTrim greatly reduces the time spent on this task. Crews can now maintain dozens of heads in the time it once took to do a handful. The time saving reduces labor hours devoted to head trimming, freeing up time for higher-value maintenance tasks. It’s also a repeatable process, producing consistent results regardless of who’s using it. 

In what ways does your product contribute to cost savings in maintenance?

The AccuTrim saves money primarily through labor efficiency. It reduces labor costs thanks to a much faster trimming process and cuts the total number of operator hours needed to keep irrigation heads clean and playable. Over the course of a season, especially on courses with high irrigation head numbers, the labor and cost savings add up quickly.

How does your solution enhance the overall player experience on the course?

When irrigation heads are trimmed properly, turf grows more evenly, irrigation performs more reliably and surfaces stay consistent. Cleanly trimmed irrigation heads contribute to better course aesthetics and healthier turf. The result is a course that looks better, plays better and feels more professionally maintained, and golfers notice.

What future trends does your product align with in the golf industry?

The AccuTrim aligns with several trends affecting today’s superintendents. Labor shortages continue to drive the need for tools that improve crew productivity, cut labor time and save money. Additionally, the need for more efficient processes, where every minute saved matters. Finally, improved course conditions, with tools that ensure uniform results regardless of the operator. As expectations rise and resources tighten, the AccuTrim provides a practical way to save time and labor without sacrificing results.
