Wednesday, August 21, 2024 Sentosa Golf Club has reinforced its position as a global leader in sustainable golf by forming a new partnership with E-Z-GO® to integrate a fleet of zero-emission golf carts. This latest collaboration aligns with Sentosa’s long-standing commitment to the future of golf, as the agreement brings 220 of E-Z-GO’s advanced buggies to the renowned Serapong and Tanjong courses. Emerging from a formal tender process, this partnership is focused on enhancing the golfing experience at Sentosa through the adoption of innovative technology that prioritizes sustainability.
The 220 new golf carts are powered by lithium batteries, which offer zero emissions, produce 95% less harmful waste compared to lead-acid batteries, are 15% more efficient than other lithium options, and have an extended lifespan. These buggies also feature several unique innovations, including the IntelliBrake automatic parking brake for enhanced safety, regenerative braking for superior efficiency and control, and a wrap-around bumper for increased user protection. E-Z-GO vehicles are crafted by Textron Specialized Vehicles Inc.
, a division of Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT). Andrew Johnson, General Manager and Director of Agronomy at Sentosa Golf Club , said: ‘‘Teaming up with E-Z-GO in this way is another great step on our sustainability journey here at Sentosa.
Every decision we make about the management of the course has our legacy and the future at its heart, and we believe this is another great way to protect the amazing environment we have here.’’ “We are excited to be able to provide our vehicles to the historical Sentosa Golf Club and help them in achieving the sustainable efforts,” said Steen Scherff, Director, International Golf for E-Z-GO . “We pride ourselves in being able to work alongside courses to give them every aspect of what they need in a vehicle to maintain the courses beauty and provide a superior experience for their guests.
” Sentosa has a long and impressive history of sustainability initiatives. As part of its GAME ON campaign, it became the first in Asia to integrate carbon products like Biochar into its agronomy practices, significantly enhancing its ability to remove carbon from the atmosphere. Central to Sentosa’s sustainability efforts is a cutting-edge irrigation system and advanced agronomy equipment designed to optimize efficiency.
These systems reduce waste from over-fertilization and excessive watering, further solidifying Sentosa’s commitment to environmental stewardship..
