Be HONEST golfmates! DID YOU LEARN SOMETHING NEW in this video?? Comment below what you learned!!!
Yeah, keep my fingers away from them blades 🤣🤣🤣
Personally I really like these “Green keepers diary’s “
People are too quick to moan about the conditions of a course but it’s looks bloody hard work.
Well done all green keeping staff.
Actually found it quite interesting very educational nice to hear it all explained to have a better understanding of what goes on
Absolutely, brilliant vid, Liam!
That was bloody interesting and informative. Our green keepers could learn a lot from watching this!
I have a friend who is a green's keeper. He is always banging on about his hard work not being appreciated, and we tell him "Ridding around on a lawnmower all day is not hard work".
Your video's with the grounds staff are real eye openers Liam. From putting in drainage, covering the greens with tarps and collecting the "leather-backs?" (daddy long-legs grubs), different grass cutting and rolling, and now all the stuff in this video.
I think i need too buy my friend a pint or six, and let him know he is appreciated, and thank him properly :-)
Everybodys idea of greenskeeping is based off of Caddy Shack lol,
I've been a Greenkeeper for 18 years and I can absolutely guarantee Greenkeeping is anything but easy.... The knowledge and hard graft you apply is largely unnoticed by most golfers/golf club staff... I'm in the process of getting out of it after so long as it's poorly paid and unsociable hours, it isn't rewarding financially, but it is rewarding in the product you produce....
@@Harryjones05. My friend is Steve Beach, from the Romford area of East London. (you do not get a free beer). Edit: But thank you Gaz for all your hard work. (Steve says, "Golf is a waist of a good walk". Do all green keepers say that?).
Ive been a Greenskeeper for 16 years now(Assistant Superintendent the last 4 years). Thats what people think who aren't out doing the job. We get all these High school & college kids coming in thinking its gonna be easy work. They find out real quick its not.
Work at a golf course myself and we just aerated the greens, trust me we hate doing it as much as golfers hate putting
The way I see it, it is a necessary evil. It needs to be done to give us golfers the best surface to putt on. 1 month after it is done, the greens are usually perfect. And you can always tell which courses care about their players.
I don't see why people cry and moan, if done properly it only lasts a week two at most depending if done properly and at right time. This video acts like this is done only during certain times of the year, we verticut every other week and light topdress during the growing season. We or I, since I'm the superintendent have the greens aerated a ton during the growing season but not all aeration is the same, we vertidrain twice, one in early spring which is 12 inch deep solid tines aeration holes which also help compaction 12 inches deep, watch a video just search vertidrain, than we do it again during the start of summer on greens and fairways. We also pull plugs twice a year, in March and September which is hollow tine aeration. We also do compressed water aeration which is called hydrojet aeration, it takes forever but shoots water in the green, no you can barely tell its being done. We do that once a month during the very hot months. We can also punch holes any time we want for more airflow into the greens if the weather is really bad, these are small solid tines holes.
@@chosen1one930 people cry and moan due to the Clubs practices of charging full price for aerated greens. I would have no problem playing on an aerated green for a discount. I am not paying full price tho to pay on aerated greens. Many times, the Club will lie about it or not even tell u when paying greens fees.
It's really great to see all the thoughtful and precise maintenance that doesn't happen at my local courses
Greenkeepers all over the world smashing the 'Like' button !
This should make us a bit more sympathetic to course maintenance
Very interesting
I was thinking the same thing, we just got done punching ours.
That was more than interesting, hope we have more on this throughout the year so we can see what efforts are made by the green keepers during the different seasons 👍🏼
That's the plan!
Just hope something doesn’t go wrong and you have retainer the greens with sand. 12 hour day of carrying and shoveling sand pretty much nonstop to keep up with the machine.
Think its important to get an insight so that the next time we feel like moaning just how much work goes in to keeping our courses in tip top condition
yes i agree it is
If only more people could understand this
Never knew there was so much involved in making good greens, respect to all you greenkeepers.
Yes agreed
The unsung heros of the golf course.
Out for a round this morning and the majority of greens have been scarified and the hollow coring underway.
Nice to see whats involved. Cheers Liam.
they are!
Finally a greenskeepers centric video. We appreciate it!!
Make sure Dave knows that he is an excellent teacher as well as head greenskeeper.
Haha he’s
Every golf course should run this video in their clubhouse and send a link to their members! Would really reduce the belly-aching at the courses I've been playing. They've just started this process in the past couple of weeks. These courses have been Immaculate this spring and summer and this is what it takes to keep them that way!
Very enlightening video Liam!
My son is an apprentice green keeper at Astbury GC, and these videos that Liam does with the green keepers are brilliant. Explains why they have to do the work and what’s involved, hopefully it’ll break down the barriers that some golfers have in understanding what’s needed to make the course play in such good condition all year round.
Thanks Liam, great content and more of these please.....
My lad is a Greenkeeper in the USA I have seen this very necessary process a few times, good to have it explained to Members of clubs clearly & simply, as we all take the Maintenance for granted, thank you Liam & the Channel, Tony Southport Lancs
Cheers Tony
One of the best golf videos I’ve ever watched. Everyone moans about hollow tining but now we all know so much more goes on that they purposely hide to help us out too! Great work Liam!!
Fantastic video Liam. Normally all we as golfers see are when the greens have been punched and sanded. I had no idea of everything that goes on before that. Greenkeepers do a fantastic job so that we can have perfect putting surfaces. That's why when I see the guys out working at my club I always make sure to thank them for the fantastic job that they do.
Glad you enjoyed it
You should tip them as well
Love these videos the most. The effort our green keepers go to is outstanding. It was also great to hear the respect towards the golfers from him due to how much we pay. More of this style video please Liam 👏👏
Didn't realise there was a host of video's on the greenkeeping - need to go back and watch them all as its interesting stuff. Cheers for sharing.
Cracking not only funny vids you do but really informative ones too shows the effort that greenkeepers go to to make our golf enjoyable and a course thats in tip top condition to play on
Love this series on green keeping, just goes to show the hard work behind the scenes, it's made me repair not only mine but other players pitch marks as well.
Really interesting vlog didn't realise what when into looking after the putting greens. Keep up the good work mate.
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow that was fantastic hats off to all green keepers as never knew how technical it was until now: thank you to all the green staff and Liam for the video top draw:
Never knew about the steps before what we actually see. Great demonstration. What makes our courses look so beautiful and healthy 👍🇨🇦
Love the way he explains everything so easily and doesn't go into too much detail, thanks for the video. Just wish courses would tell you that they just finished aeration sucks paying full price to get onto a course full of sandy greens lol.
Awesome, I wish my lessons at school were taught like this, I was transfixed to his every word.. I've just got my very different informative golf fix.. 👏⛳
Thanks so much Liam for a really informative, behind the scenes video. One of these once in a while with the Dave and the greenskeeping staff would be a great addition to the channel.
Brilliant video 👍, Being a beginner golfer I didn't realize how much work goes into keeping greens so nice. This is why you should have a big respect for the courses you play on and staff who look after them.
These are great videos Liam, would love to see more of this, too many golfers don't appreciate the valuable work greenkeepers do!
Great to see you showing how important it is to have a good golf superintendent and green keepers most golfers have no idea how difficult it is to keep their course maintained great video Liam thanks
Really love these clips with the green keepers it’s so interesting seeing all the work they do to keep the greens playable, absolutely loving the content Liam awesome job as always 👍🏻
Brilliant video Liam, really interesting, did not realise the time effort and science keeping greens in good quality. Brilliant idea, cheers mate.
Great video Liam, very informative. Thanks to your green keepers for allowing you to show what they have to do to keep us playing golf.
Absolutely
The quality of your videos has come so far since the start, Liam. It’s very impressive!
Love your green keeping videos its a real eye opener keep them coming love them
Yes it is
Liam, this was one of your most interesting and informative videos. I've always wondered about this process and the reasons for it...now I know. Thank you for making such a great behind the scenes video!
Great to see and understand what the greenkeepers do and Why! They work very hard to keep the courses great and it is much appreciated.
Couldn't agree more!
I already had respect for greenskeepers and golf course maintenance, but this makes me appreciate them even more. I can't imagine the evolution of maintaining a golf course, and how the machines were built!
Really good to have this behind the scenes insight. Thanks for showing the Golf Mates
Absolutely fascinating. We don’t like sandy greens but now we know why. Well done Liam.
That was CLASS Liam! Love the green keepers videos! It's very cool to understand the reasons for all the work being done!
Really enjoyed this one Liam, after seeing this I shan't complain when they do ours in future. Very informative, thank you, and please thank your green keepers for sharing the information.
Liam these maintenance vids are brilliant and should give any golfmate a huge respect for what the grounds keepers do and it’s a wonderful learning experience I will never be upset again when I go to a course and the greens look like this 👍
These videos with the green staff have been excellent. Great to know how we get those slick even rolling surfaces during the season and everything they do to make our lives easy.
Good to get an insight in to the hard work that green keepers do to keep our courses in tip top condition every day. Another great video Liam.
Very interesting. I had no idea about 80% of this stuff. Makes me appreciate the greenskeepers and their special knowledge and skills.
Same pal
Yes I learnt a lot here so much so i didn't want the video to end - really informative and one of the best videos i've seen on YT - Top Marks
This is absolutely fantastic! As an avid goofer and former greens keeper this vid is so important to show how much work goes into keeping the greens soft, true and puttable. So all you who pout or whine when ya see a punched green, its all done for your putting pleasure. Quitya whining and thank the staff.
Some times we forget just how hard it is to keep our favorite courses in top shape. The frustration of playing on or around the greens when they are being kept up is well worth the results.
yes i agree
Love these green keeping vlogs, very interesting, makes us appreciate the hard work that goes into keep a course in top shape.
Thanks, it does!
What an operation. Green keepers are the heart of the course! They do a fantastic job. Thanks to all the green keepers! 🏌️♂️
Really interesting that! Did not know any of this! Top work golf mates 👏🙌👍
I do similar work for my cricket club with a lot of the same machinery , not many members understand the hours of work it takes to produce a good playing surface. So when I turn up to play golf at my club I always appreciate the work the greenstaff put in and will always say thanks if I get chance to speak to them.
Great to see an insight into the hard work all greenkeepers do thanks you for keeping our golf courses in great condition we do appreciate it
Playing for the last few weeks on what was more like a beach then a green on the home course - great video to explain the advantages of putting up with a few discomforts for perfect greens. Great explanation.. well done to all..
Absolutley brilliant video! truly makes us golfers realise the behind the scenes work and what our money pays for. Thanks Liam that was great.
Absolutely fascinating! Really makes you appreciate the work that goes on to give those smooth greens.
That was really interesting. Thanks for the great green maintenance info.
Great video guys, really interesting and would love to see more like this. All ground staff are heroes, bless em all. 👍👍
They Are 👍
This was a great video Liam. As both you and the green keeper said, golfers (including me) had no idea of all the work done before the hollow tining.
Really informative video - keep the great videos coming.
Interesting video, good to see the green keepers knowledge come through!
Great vlog Liam; good to see the work that goes on often unseen.
Wish more players would see this and realise why it is necessary and give the greenkeepers some proper respect.
Cheers from #500
Great video! The importance of the top dressing is something many of us don’t fully understand. I think more of the “behind the scenes” at the Club would benefit all of us. Thanks Liam!
Absolutely!!
This series is my favourite videos you do. Makes me appreciate the green keepers at my course
Great video, Liam. Very informative, interesting, and entertaining. Keep up the good content!
Excellent video Liam, really interesting all of the work that goes into our greens.
Big shout out to Dave and his team. Top work.👍
Brilliant. Learnt so much and just how labour intensive greenkeeping is.
Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow what a great video. Explains so much and shows how we take our greens and geeen keepers for granted. So much work.
Glad it was helpful!
Love Daves videos I'll say it again unsung hero's. Don't forget you have concentrated on the green but there is the fairways and the surrounding landscape they look after and do a sterling job in all weathers!
Thanks Steve!
Start my new job as assistant green keeper tomorrow, I can’t wait & this came up right on cue.
I’ve obviously been watching a lot of this stuff and this video didn’t disappoint.
Very clear explanations with a visual component to boot.
Thanks again Golf Mates, I’m primed & ready for action 🫡
Liam this sort of video is some of the best on the channel mate.
Great stuff Liam. Good to see all aspects. Love watching golf but this kept my interest 👍
These videos are epic something normally o lynx green keepers would know and it's great that your making them part the channel because without them we would have no courses. I love how you are so inclusive to everyone getting us to see every aspect from all backgrounds in golf and probably when clubs are open fully will show us into what goes into running the whole club. Keep safe and well golfmates
Glad you like them!
One of the most informative turf videos on youtube
Great explanation Dave - have always wondered, now I know !!
The science of this is astounding. I'd love to be able to transfer this info to my lawn. Lol
Liam, these videos are so informative, love these, its so different from the mainstream golf vids, I bet every golfer enjoys these. Plus it will promote respect for the green staff from golfers who complain about work on the course. (and yes, I was one!!!)
Fascinating video. I'm really enjoying the green keeper's series.
Great video Liam. Love these green keeping vids. So much work we don’t get to see. Will certainly not moan when I see green plugged now
thank you!
What a great idea to explain this care of the greens, brilliant.
Very interesting and eye opening Liam. All for a better understanding of the greenkeeper's art.
I was a golf course superintendent for 35 years! It video brings back memories! Very informative and well done!
Top notch video! I love golf because I love the courses. Appreciate the courses and the work that goes into them.
Great video Liam. I knew all the steps but, never saw it live and that was very informative. I hate putting with the top dressing and holes, but it's worth it come spring time.
Heyup Liam, cracking video, hope it teaches those that take things for granted. Keep these coming.
Always learn something new with the greenkeeper video s 👍
Brilliant explanations. Have shared on my twitter as my course is doing the same next week.
Absolutely fascinating. Hats off to all green keepers.
Great interesting video. Shows the effort and the knowledge of the green keepers.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video Liam, there is alot of knowledge and science to being a greenskeeper, its not just topping up the mower with petrol and wracking away like alot of golfers think
Fascinating insight into just how much work goes into keeping our greens pristine.
That was really interesting and well explained. Good job all round :-)
Thank you
Absolutely brilliant video! Just makes you appreciate what the greenkeepers do!
Really interesting, thoroughly enjoyed that, more of these please Liam
Great info. Much more complicated than I thought!
this is by far the best video i have seen! now i understand it all! haha, i have leanred something today.
Great vlog nice to get some insight into what it takes to keep the greens in shape.
I hope we all appreciate how difficult it is to maintain coarse
Liam, the best explanation of what it takes to keep things looking good
Thanks
I don't know a thing about golf and can't remember how I found this video, but wow what a process! I really loved seeing just how much work goes into golfing greens, I know they look immaculate and now I also know why!
great vlog Liam, I for one never realized how much work went into looking after our greens
amazing what goes into keeping greens alive...thanks Liam
