    Good work, guys. I'm not sure why, but I really enjoyed this one. Watching Steve re-punching the holes with a screwdriver was too funny. The man loves his green.

    backpack blower for cores out of machines way, snowshovels for clearing...coconut mat behind a golf cart to work in sand, mock up a drag basket to catch cores, you can also mow them off if its dry...these are minimal tools, put every dime you make into greens equipment, top dressers, sprayers, irrigation and mowers...its what people want the most...i had tons of fun doing it, but i learned the hard way...

One side controls the up and down the other side controls the in and out motion, and one or the other would break a chain every time I used it. Like I said perfect holes every time.. good work guys!

      Jordan Metcalfe yes there is a better way to clean up by using a core sweeper and a drag behind broom it’s much faster but for filling the holes up with sand the best way is with a push broom and it sucks!!

  • @markabendroth1774

    Invest in a top dresser & drag mat if you can, look for an old turfco or olathe. You can make a drag matt out of carpet and some weight on it. It will make your life alot easier, great work.on your part ! Most golfers don't know the importance of the task or appreciate the effort of the maintenance staff to accomplish this. I worked on courses for 24 years. Well done.

  • @nbrown1351
    @nbrown1351 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I used to work at a golf course and aeration days were the worst. For all 18 holes and tees, with decent equipment, and about 5 grounds keepers it still took us over a week to get it all done. The one tip I do have is when brooming in the sand, take two broom heads and a few 2x4 screw them together about a foot apart and put a concrete block on the back and tow it behind a golf cart. That’s what we always did and it made the sanding aspect not that bad.

I've found given I don't have much pressure, core aerating twice a season was overly aggressive. The solid tine does a good job really.

It's like turning up at a restaurant and them saying "Sorry our premium beef is not being served, so we've got you some corned beef instead, and it's the same price."

    I run an elite course, first order: Broom assembly. Make a flat aluminum cage with smaller cages to attach by hinge on both sides. Fasten as many broom ends as you can on underside of cages. Weigh the cages down with heavy rubber mats to prevent skipping while you drag with a cart. You can also just make a core catcher rig on your puncher, then empty off green each pass. You don’t necessarily need better equipment but should.

  • @tonyg6971
    @tonyg6971 6 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    25+ yrs experience. Use snow shovels to push cores, not brooms (much easier). Use cocoa mat (door mat) upside down with ropes attached to drag in sand. Use quality topdress sand (sieved to prevent compaction) not play sand or bunker sand. All that brooming is damaging leaf surface.

    • @FriedEggsGolf
      @FriedEggsGolf  6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Thanks Tony! Plastic scoop shovels seemed to work great for the cores and we definitely used quality top-dress sand. We were hoping someone would offer a remedy for the push brooms, seemed really inefficient. We appreciate it!

    i worked at a country club that did this to 18 championship holes ( greens, approaches and tees) and a smaller 9 hole course (greens, approaches and tees ) twice a year, it would take a crew of over 30 people 1 week of 14+hour days to get it all done, i dont how to put it all into perspective but what you did here we would have done in about half hour. The pro-core machines we used had these big bins on the back to catch all those plugs, when you get to the end to turn around just lift the bin real high with about 4 guys and it dumps. Then we leaf blow and dump sand as well.

    What does it cost approx per year to maintain a green this size I have been thinking of doing on in my backyard I like the idea of a real green but maybe install a fake grass one might be better.. real grass you get to cut your own holes and change the feel of the greens

    • @scubastevesmith7108
      @scubastevesmith7108 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A lot of maintenance you have to Be able to work on a real green pretty much everyday. The cost of chemicals and fertilizer is expensive at first. But if your green is 2250sqft those cems and fertilizer will last years.Make sure you have a good greens mower. You have to fertilize for crab grass ever spring watch for dollar spots and prevent silver moss.so if you are not hitting from 50 yards or more I recommend a fake one.

      Press Master 1 well you will understand and appreciate this story. When I started the job I asked where the fairway mowers were. They said IT is over there. I see the tractor, where is the mower? They said it’s behind the tractor.... it was a bush hog, to cut fairways. They started complaining about how high the fairways were. I told them a bush hog cannot go lower than 2.5 inches. Anyway, after they kept on I asked the board members to come to practice range, and I set it on the setting to cut the grass at 1 inch, liked they demanded. I said if I do this I’ll mow it 100yds and you take the credit. Should have seen their smug looks. I cut/drug that bottomed out frame 100yds before I stopped, you can appreciate what the frame did to the turf. They didn’t demand much from me after that. They decided maybe discussions were better than demands. I eventually rigged up a 5 foot wide finishing mower. The amount of diesel we wasted pulling a 5 foot wide fairway mower would have paid for a new mower in one season. I miss that crazy work, those greens were beautiful after two seasons. They had been neglected for about 10 years, so the improvements were exciting the first year.

      Sammy 5150Eddie I do understand completely, when I took over as the superintendent they had an 1985 John deer tractor and a 7 deck pull behind finish mower, one John deer walk behind greens mower and a stihl backpack sprayer sg120 that I was supposed to spray the greens with!!! I too worked for a board of directors who new nothing about golf course maintenance, everything was a struggle for the first season. I have to say that all the hard work and fixing up piece of shit equipment made me a better man. I rebuilt a toro 1200 sprayer got on the Floratine program along with some Harrels herbicides and saved the bent grass. Dealing with a board is very difficult most of the time they are wealthy arrogant and have never gotten their hands dirty

      Press Master 1 my “Board” all lived in small houses or small trailers, and got the big heads because they had “power”. Our signature hole is a par 115 yd par3 over a lake. The tee box is right outside the pro shop. When I got there I told them that tee box was going to look terrible the first season because I had to completely wipe out most of it. A guy said why would you redo it, we just redid it last year. We brought in x number of pallets and personally laid the sod. I said, you should resign as the president of the board today, because centipede grass is considered a weed on a golf course. People were laughing outloud. I ended up really liking the guy, he was just that clueless when it came to growing legal grass.
