Nothing calms the nerves like an enticing game of golf. You can leave the stresses of report filing and meeting crucial deadlines at the office as you find an escape on the green. Not only is quiet serenity encouraged, it’s required. Have you ever tried talking into someone’s backswing? Less tolerable courses will have you “quietly” escorted from the club and revoke your entire membership.
Country clubs and golf courses are led by course managers that pride themselves with maintaining pristine playing conditions with a scenic backdrop and amicable amenities. They value players’ input of the course and want to ensure it remains in immaculate condition. Unfortunately, water hazards and sand traps aren’t the only threats to your relaxing stroll of the course.
Just how green is golf?
Like any well-maintained facility or sporting venue, there is a lot of behind-the-scenes work involved in retaining this well-rounded façade. Consider the very fabric of the course itself: the evergreen landscape and greens. As a course manager, you know it’s no easy feat to maintain the year around luster of the playing course while the surrounding foliage withers and dies. While it’s not a fact that is commonly advertised, anyone who has putted around on a golf course long enough knows that it takes a tremendous number of herbicides and pesticides to keep weeds and insects from destroying the grass and complementary landscape. It’s par for the course.
Prevent hefty civil and legal penalties with a fire-rated chemical storage building
Lower, or “higher” golf scores, aren’t the only potential drawbacks of improperly storing these dangerous chemicals. Fires, pollution from leaks and poisonous fumes from improper storage can ruin even the most well-maintained courses. To avert potential catastrophe, trust a pro and contact U.S. Hazmat Rentals. We offer top-of-the-line steel welded fire-rated and non-fire-rated storage lockers. These lockers can be smoothly implemented into any workflow or processes, so you could easily keep them out-of-sight from club members who don’t want their scenic view spoiled.
Superior spill sump containment system to prevent leaks
Leaks and hefty fines from the EPA won’t be an issue either. Our lockers are equipped with innovative grated floor spill sump containment systems to collect waste from any spill that might occur. Compartmentalization and shelving also eliminates the possibility of dangerous chemicals interacting with one another and dual-climate control options ensure the consistency of chemicals is not compromised.
Renting vs Owning
Since golf is a seasonal venture, it doesn’t make sense to invest in a permanent chemical storage building, which is why renting a steel locker from U.S. Hazmat Rental will save you money in the long run. These lockers can be easily moved to and from the golf course with ease and without interrupting day-to-day operations.
