Kansas Golf and Turf: Dealer of the Month

This month, we proudly feature Kansas Golf and Turf as our Dealer of the Month. Founded in 1993 by Pat and Polly McGreevey as a golf car dealership and rental business, Kansas Golf and Turf has evolved into a diversified distributor of outdoor power equipment. Today, the company, led by the McGreevey family, serves a broad range of industries, including sports fields, recreational facilities, and municipal clients across Kansas and Missouri.

Sales Manager, Mike Simon, joined Kansas Golf and Turf in 2003, bringing with him extensive experience from the golf industry. Under his leadership, the business expanded its offerings to include a comprehensive line of turf equipment, including Smithco products. Mike’s background as a golf superintendent gives him unique insight into the needs of his customers, which has helped Kansas Golf and Turf build strong relationships within the industry.

One of the standout qualities of Kansas Golf and Turf is their approach to selling Smithco products, especially when it comes to advanced technologies like GPS-equipped sprayers. Mike and his team emphasize the “total cost of ownership” to help customers see the long-term benefits and savings these products can provide. Rather than focusing solely on the initial price, they guide clients to understand how Smithco’s innovations – such as precision spraying – can reduce waste, increase efficiency, and save money in the long run.

Mike particularly enjoys demonstrating Smithco’s sprayers to potential customers. By showcasing the cutting-edge technology and allowing customers to see the products in action, Kansas Golf and Turf has earned a reputation for transparency and reliability. A memorable example of this is a demonstration where a skeptical customer was shown how much product remained in the tank after spraying, proving the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of Smithco’s GPS technology.

Kansas Golf and Turf also places great importance on education and training. They actively attend Smithco’s training events and prioritize keeping their team and customers informed about the latest products and innovations. This dedication to learning ensures that they stay at the forefront of industry trends, enabling them to offer the best possible solutions to their clients.

A cornerstone of their success has been their strong relationship with Smithco. Mike and his team often utilize the Smithco website as a sales tool, directing customers to review product features and benefits in greater detail. This resource has become invaluable in their sales process, helping to reinforce the quality and reliability of the Smithco brand.

Another key factor in their success is the support they receive from Smithco’s manufacturing facility and the expertise of the Johnson brothers, Wayne and Steven. Their in-depth mechanical knowledge and ability to explain complex equipment features provide an added layer of confidence for Kansas Golf and Turf’s customers. Mike described their presence at product demonstrations as a “drum roll” moment, often leading to orders being placed on the spot.

Kansas Golf and Turf’s dedication to their customers, commitment to innovation, and strong partnership with Smithco make them a standout dealer in the industry. We are proud to recognize them as our Dealer of the Month and look forward to continuing our successful collaboration in the years to come.
