As I was arranging my schedule for the trade show floor at the GCSAA Conference in San Diego, I couldn’t help but notice how many companies are showcasing robotic and automated range pickers this year. For anyone interested in improving efficiency and cutting labor costs on their driving ranges, these booths are definitely worth checking out.
Here’s who I plan to visit:
- Easy Picker Golf Products Inc. (Booth #5837)
Easy Picker is the original innovator of the Light-Weight range ball picker, and their lineup includes ball washers, dispensers, and more. - P2 Golf Products (Booth #1625)
P2 focuses on golf ball management and maintenance, offering durable washers and efficient dispensers that keep operations running smoothly. - Roboranger by XeraTech Robotics (Booth #3127)
Roboranger is particularly intriguing—an autonomous ball picker that collects 3,000+ balls per cycle. It’s hard to argue with the potential for labor savings and efficiency improvements. - Echo Robotics (Booth #5320)
Echo Robotics has consistently delivered innovative automation solutions, and I’m excited to see what they’re bringing to the table this year.
If you’re like me and want to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to technology that can make our jobs easier, these booths are a must-see. Let me know if you’ll be stopping by—I’d love to hear your thoughts!
