    These guys are so important. Much respect. Pain in the bum when out playing...but we know what they are doing is so necessary and waiting for a few minutes until they are finished is not a hardship. Definitely heroes for us golfers.

    Every moaning golfer in the land should watch this film, they would then have a better understanding of what it takes to keep good greens. Great film Liam

    No other golf channel does this kind of content…. it’s great to see all the hard work that goes into course maintenance! Makes it all the more infuriating when people don’t repair pitch marks when you know the effort that went in behind the scenes. Massive respect to the greens keepers and keep up then great work Liam & co.

      Remember last year on our course crane flies somehow managed to lay their eggs in holes on green , Rooks came along started eating the grubs created more holes . Maybe they didn’t sand correctly.

    Cheers Liam, I took on the role of green staff this year because of watching last year's video you posted. I know people will watch this and probably turn off because they think it's irrelevant but I can only hope they do watch to see the bloody hard work that goes on before someone hits a golf ball. I'm certainly thankful you have taken your time to interact with your greenstaff in a very positive manner. Thanks and continue to promote our labours.

    I played one of my local courses 9 days ago and when I got home after a moaned for hours on how the greens were.

    Definitely needs to be done. Unfortunately us golfers are a fickle bunch and want to play on pristine greens all year round. These types of videos give a great insight into why it needs to be done and the time and graft it takes.
    Still won’t appease everyone, but I for one am grateful for it.
    I can also use it as another excuse for my piss poor putting.
    Keep up the great work.

    It's all a part of keeping a golf course not only looking beautiful, but also course healthy! There's a lot of work that goes on to keep a course playable, so thank the staff when you see them on the course! When my golfmates and myself saw them on the course, we would have the girls who drove the refreshment buggy around take them some Gatorade and a snack! It didn't cost us much and it was our way of showing that we appreciated all of their hard work!
