Attendees at this year's Golf Industry Show in Orlando might recall a vehicle in the Toro booth the likes of which they'd probably never have seen before.
Code named Project Delta, the heavy duty contraption was obviously much more than a utility vehicle.
Part tractor, part utility vehicle, Project Delta promised a new level of toughness and simplicity when Toro officials were soliciting ideas in Orlando to name the vehicle that will be available next year.
Judges poured through thousands of submissions earlier this year before settling on the name Outcross, which was submitted by Curt Sheffer, superintendent athe Plantation Course at Edisto in Edisto Beach, South Carolina. Toro made their selection based on several factors including creativity, suitability for the product and compatibility with the Toro brand.
Sheffer will receive a trip to the Golf Industry Show, scheduled for San Antonio. The prize, valued at $3,000, includes attendance at the show, airfare, hotel accommodations for three nights, entry to the GCSAA golf tournament a $500 spending stipend.
The newly dubbed Outcross will be available through distributors in summer 2018.
