Video Transcript: Hollrock Engineering Golf Ball Picker Demonstration
[0:00] Hollrock Engineering was the first company to produce a lightweight golf ball picker specifically designed for golf carts. This innovation enabled golf courses to integrate a practice range into their existing business for a relatively minor investment.
[0:16] 40 years later, Hollrock Engineering is the leading manufacturer of reliable, cost-effective ball management solutions for golf courses and golf ranges.
[0:27] Since 1989, Hollrock Engineering has owned and operated its own golf range in Western Massachusetts as a test site for the everyday use and maintenance of its products.
[0:39] Hollrock’s patented golf ball pickers provide our customers with years of durability and carefree service. Our rugged polycarbonate discs and tough, lightweight frames pick up golf balls with maximum efficiency on any surface.
[0:56] These extremely maneuverable pickers attach to any vehicle, and maintenance is a cinch with features like grease fittings in easy-to-get-at locations.
[1:12] Clients can choose from wire baskets or molded hoppers, and pickers are expandable to 9, 15, and 21 feet for commercial applications.
[1:23] Golf ball pickers designed and manufactured by Hollrock Engineering withstand the test of time. We pride ourselves on providing each customer with reliable products essential to the successful operation of golf courses and golf ranges.
[1:39] “I’ve had the Hollrock Engineering golf ball picker since 1991. It’s basically been a bulletproof machine for us. Haven’t had to make any major repairs, and have really done minimal maintenance on it. It’s really just been a workhorse for us. We’re a medium-to-high-volume range, and we pick every day — sometimes in the busy season, twice a day. And to be honest with you, the conditions on our range are not that good. We have some rocks and a few depressions, but the picker gets it done pretty much day in and day out for us.” — Hollrock Customer

A bit more about how we got our start
The beginning of Rick Hollrock’s interest in the range business dates back to his college days when he worked at a golf course during his summer breaks. “I came home one day and mentioned to my father that I had seen people collecting golf balls by hand from ponds,” says Hollrock. “My Dad suggested I should try my hand at inventing and building some sort of a machine that could do the same,” adds Hollrock. A tinkerer by nature, Hollrock came to realize after building a few prototypes that it was a lot easier to build and then sell these new ‘ball retrieving’ machines than it was to manually extract balls by hand from ponds.
