I’ve been working on a golf course for 9 seasons now. I love watching other peoples videos because it shows how people operate differently doing the same things. If that makes sense. I love seeing all the different maintenance facilities and turf equipment and the maintenance procedures. Some things that we do differently are we don’t have morning meetings. The super or assistant writes jobs on the white board and we just look at it after punching in and doing what we’re assigned. It does work for the most part. We also don’t really have much of set chores to be done after the daily tasks. If there’s nothing written on the board, we find stuff to keep busy without being told. And are always more than willing to change to something if we’re instructed to
This is the most amazing video . As a past greenskeeper I understand communication and teamwork is key when running a crew especially when it's on a PGA course because timing, experience,and knowledge is important. What a great video. Thank you.
I get there at 6:30 every morning since tee time for the front 9 are at 8 am or 4:00 am on tournament days since they usually tee off on all 18 holes at 7 am. But I love it and I wouldn’t do anything else.
It’s all about money time and resources. That’s the only reason somebody will manage something differently. As an agronomist I will take into account number of staff greens budgets and hours worked and build a plan around that. Otherwise what’s the point in telling a club to do something they physically can’t?

Question, 90% complete on my backyard green 25'x28' full 4" tile drain, 3/8" gravel 4" thick with the USGA recommend sand & soil mix, no intermediate layer. Root mix is 16-18" deep. My question: Should I incorporate any chemicals/fertilizer into the XX inches of the root mix before seeding? I will be using bent, I'm in the NE. Also, what type of tarp material should I buy to cover green in the winter, I see poly, canvas etc. Thanks a lot.
Use a root activated phosphorus fertilizer and some sort of starter fertilizer, seeding, germinating bent grass is the easy part , keeping diseases away is the hard part. Also hopefully u have a mower which will cut the grass super short which isnt cheap.. tarps are not 100 percent necessary but if you do I'd get something which is porous and breathable, a decent fungicide regiment and winter application would also be probably needed
Indeed it is John. Seeing everything happen in person is pretty unique actually. It’s something I’ve taken fore-granted and tend to forget about as much as I should. Interesting process for sure.
Raking bunkers by hand is the way to go. the trap rake makes a mess getting in and out of the bunker and the spinning causes a ripple effect after a while that requires reshaping to correct
Issue with raking bunkers by hand is the labour involved. We hand rake bunkers at one of my other courses called Mickelson National and we have 8 people full time raking bunkers.
You need a hand rake with you when using a machine bunker rake like a sand pro. Always clean the entry and exit points. Also, you need to vary the patterns to prevent rippling. It’s not really a big deal to be honest.
Top dressing downside is reel mowers hate sand so as you cut it starts to look really bad the cut quality of the mower to the point where even if you fix up the mower to cut good it gets ruined again the next day
Stephen Matics it’s like sticking sizers in sand cutting the sand for 30 minutes then trying to cut paper it dulls the blade and pushes the bead knife away from the reel
I been reel mowing my home lawn which is 100% perennial ryegrass. I’m going to spoon feed it this next season. What fertilizer would you recommend? I like to use both liquid and granular. I live in upstate NY my HOC is between 5/8-1”….and I’m high in phosphorus. Thanks for the video

I don’t understand your comment sir but if you think it’s a joke don’t want. Make sure you notify me when you make your own video so we can have a look. 👍

Nice, I'm Equipment Manager 30 years. I love to show my Shop. New Sub.
Love seeing a lot of the equipment you use is what we use at my course. From the Propass, to the 648 and the 3500 rough mower.
I get there at 6:30 every morning since tee time for the front 9 are at 8 am or 4:00 am on tournament days since they usually tee off on all 18 holes at 7 am. But I love it and I wouldn’t do anything else.
He says it's early but the sun is coming up. I'm at my course at 415 every morning to start getting things ready
Good for you Tim. Your owner must be proud. Yah this was June in Calgary about 5am.
decks down at 4:30 to get greens done before the first tee time at the course i worked at
Quality video with great info. Thank you, superintendents!
This video was amazing quality!
Being someone who is in this line of work, it's interesting to see how other courses run their operations.
Oh yah for sure. I own 5 courses and all supers do things a bit different.

Fantastic video, loved the editing and such a nice track
Glad you enjoyed it. We have a great team working on this!
@@BarryEhlert I did some filming at a couple of good courses here in Northern Ireland. Your video gave me some useful ideas. Thanks!

Very interesting to see all the behind the scenes! Quite a complex ordeal !

@@BarryEhlert Yes, I think we all take it fore-granted 😉😆
Do you take soil samples for lab analysis, if so how often is it done?
Superintendents are the real MVPs
My superintendent is cool as hell.
Rob T same man!

Great video! Looks familiar to me (my dad was a superintendent, I worked for him as a kid for years). I miss the work. Always felt great.
Something special about being out on a golf course right?

Uh, no.

hello,can i work there?
i'm from indonesia
Very nice 👌
Good quality video. I feel though that was like a tenth of what you filmed and really only saw bunkers and top dressing.
We will be filming more maintenance videos and we have shot some others as well.
Crafts, and a few of

Good question. I’d have to check with our turf teams. NY likely different than Canada especially considering the perennial rye you’re growing.
@Shortclips 101 exactly what I picked up. Along with some Iron and sulphate of potash.
@Shortclips 101 I will check it out . I’m using Feature

I find you a bit cringe honestly but I think you will do it better
Funny comment coming from the “cringy kid.” Lol
