Shoulda mowed it again too collect the rest of the sand particles on top. Then rolled again, when we try to go to the next level for speed we double verticut, mowed, brush with a pull behind brush and then roll. The mower was at 125 and we lowered to 120 also.
For our major tournament at my course we cut our greens at .90 twice, then rolled them twice. They were insanely fast. My sup is a beast and has gotten pretty smart about keeping the greens low and quick
Steve, you've got a beautiful green with or without sand, it's amazing, you obviously take great care of it. I admire your dedication pal. Randy being the Assistant Greenkeeper made me laugh, assistants do some work. I expected you to say you were the Director of Golf or Course Manager ! I love vids like this, it's great to see what goes into it (I know it's only a small part of it we see). It's also great to see you two go at each other too, you're so funny. However, for the return to TH-cam to be complete, I need to hear your Mum laughing her head off at you in the background, always brings a big smile to my face when I hear her laugh ! Hello to Mrs Smith, the real hero of the family for putting up with you all !
Sooo Glad to see you posting videos again man. Love all your content . Love the funny videos, Skits and course blogs. and remember we aren't here to watch you play "great golf"... We are here for the great videos the laughter. Green looks incredible and can't wait for the next video
If there was a “make•a•wish” for adults mine would be to come play this course with these guys. Y’all are F’n amazing!! I love it when a fried eggs video pops up on my recommended videos list.
Have a golf tournament today and was kinda nervous…got this notification and the vibes you guys put off all the time definitely helped to calm the nerves! You guys are awesome!!!
I work at a country club. My boss was also a volunteer for the greenscrew at the US Open in Brookline. Just a couple tips I can add: -Your dad is right about the trim height on the mower. 0.150 is pretty long if you want it as fast as possible. When we grew in a new practice green this year we started at 0.150. As the playing surface began to mature and we did a lot of top dressing and rolling we worked our way down incrementally to 0.120, which is the course standard. -Double cutting will help reduce the height further and improve consistency. We usually get away with making a single cut but cutting twice is a must if we host competitive play. -Our course makes the second cut perpendicular to the first cut. This makes the second cut a little difficult as it's hard to see your lines. At the Open the trimmers would make a single pass and immediately turn 180 to cut the pass again. This way the finished product has no visible lines (apparently they *really* hated lines). -you can be generous with topdressing, just make sure it's spread well and you give the green some time (2-3 months) in between applications so it can properly settle and not suffocate the grass. -The greens at the US Open were cut at 0.100, typically getting cut four times a day (doublecut in the morning and evening). The USGA reps were getting stimp readings in excess of 14 and some cutting and rolling had to be reduced on certain holes to bring it down to 12-13. Cutting this low is not recommended, especially not for an extended period of time as this will hurt the grass.
We always use old quart oil cans for gas for our lawnmower. You can write "Gas" on it or just notice that it has the viscosity of gas and not oil when you open/start to pour.
Asst. Greenskeeper. LOL... awesome video. you guys probably wish you could make it as fast as Tom's Greens at Riverbend. LIGHTNING FAST!! Tom Botteron is the DUDE. Headed to Riverbend to play now after watching this video. Keep em coming!!!
Love it. Btw the green looks fantastic! I was sure you guys were making lightning in a bottle. Says a lot for the health of the green. Thanks so much and its good to see you guys at it!
The dynamic between you two is so awesome. Scuba Steve giving Ted Talks on Putter transportation physics lessons🥸, the best way to redistribute fuel using an oil container 😳 and how important it is talk about your sticky balls 🤣. Top class video.👏
We usually cut out bent grass greens at .110. This year we have changed to thinner bed knives on out gm3150 mowers and have brought hoc down to .105 we would like to end up around .100 or even .098
crazy idea.... do you have any type of generator? I think it would be too far from the house for extension cords to work.... The sunjoe and greenworks electric verticutters are really affordable.... there is a battery option on amazon, i think it was greenworks for about $200ish.... Seen several lawn guys do videos showing a electric version bought on facebook marketplace used for like $30.
I would recommend doing a double cut and role. Cut exactly how you did the first time then the opposite angle as the first cut. Roll it them top dress and brush in the sand. See how that will work. That’s almost exactly how we do it on a golf course
Hahahaha, the good old roller video. I remember laughing my ass off watching you two trying to putt xD That video was the first thing that I thought of when I read the title of this video.
Love it. You're making green keeping cool! Mind you, the two of you would make even 'watching paint dry' interesting! ;) Looking forward to the craziness that will ensue once it's like a mirror!
I’d like to see Randy and Scuba do a blindfolded chipping/putting/straight golf (any of the 3 that might work best) challenge where they have someone place their club head behind the ball and do their best to swing.
If you keep adding that much sand, it'll be Beverly's Mountain soon, lol. btw, cool music by your brother! And of course I had to watch 'til the very end--nice birdie finish!
Great work for what you have! Ever thought about spraying plant growth regulators on your green? Between that and proper mechanical practice, my greens average 11-12 on the stimp.
I hate to ask this question or make a request because you’ve probably done this in the past BUT: 1. What Exact type of grass are you using? 2. What is the typical maintenance schedule that Scuba Steve has? I know we are in completely different zones, I am in zone 6.5 and it’s so difficult to grow Bermuda once the weather turns chilly and impossible to grow Bent in the summer. I’ve been trying to grow a green for two years and it’s driving me crazy. I’ve got a Toro Flex 21, which will verticicut but even with that level of mower I just can’t do it.
Creeping bent grass the heat has been rough this year. But that said the green is the best it’s ever looked.I alternate fungicides every 2 weeks and use a liquid fertilizer every 2 weeks . It is watered daily often 2 times a day.Mow one day roll the next. I also spot spray for clover.
With a verti-cutting box you would double cut for best results, you could potentially achieve this by another push brush and cut perpendicular to the first, but lets hope Scuba Steve gets thrifty and finds a set of verti cutters for one of his 27 hand mowers somewhere.
Most of those things can be explained chronologically. The oil bottle came first. Then a couple years later he needed a water bottle and had the gas can laying around so it got added in.
Need to get some tnex growth regulator going on there, and roll it at least weekly. We cut our bent @ .120 and they stay around 10.5-11 in good weather
We’re not ready to go that low maybe never. Next time we build will do a better job. Your talking about 2 guy’s that just said one day let’s build a green.
Randy I don't really care about what you and your Dad are doing...because the interactions between the two of you guys are hilarious no matter what the topic is. Now joking aside its really interesting how much work actually goes into keeping Beverley's Hills in the pristine shape it's in. My hat's off to the head greenskeeper (Scuba Steve) and his assistant...what's his name?
Backtrack mowing, mowing back and forth on the same line, aka the Augusta cut, would've been great right after grooming. You wouldn't have had the striping but performance would've been better.
This will be a good one to look back on when you’re 90 for sure. Time spent with Dad is the best.
I’m envious of the fun you get to have with your dad. It makes it. You guys rock. Thank you for posting your videos.
Videos like this make me miss my dad. Keep enjoying him while you got him.

You can get groomers that fit between the front roller and the cylinder for your mower
Noted!
@@FriedEggsGolf just get a broom for the mower, they have those, or build one on a budget, that you can lower down it stands it up then cuts
My favorite notification to get, best way to start a Saturday!

I almost don’t know how to handle Scuba in the summer with sleeves… Did Beverly’s Hills go formal on its dress code?? 🤣🤣
Soon...💪🏻
I here dues are going up
YES!! Best way to start the day!!
If there was a “make•a•wish” for adults mine would be to come play this course with these guys. Y’all are F’n amazing!! I love it when a fried eggs video pops up on my recommended videos list.
I'm a selfish bastard cause I want at least one video a day from your guys! Got nothing but love for Fried Eggs Golf baby!! ⛳️
Have a golf tournament today and was kinda nervous…got this notification and the vibes you guys put off all the time definitely helped to calm the nerves! You guys are awesome!!!

Thanks for the info!
I love rolling the greens at my course. It’s super satisfying. Love the Videos Randy and scuba Steve!!
This is the new content we wanted to see! Hope to see you guys play nine on this bad boy!
Awesome video....the reason i keep coming back is Scuba Steve.
Great video Randy! Loved the drone shots and ofcourse the banter!
The camera work at 12:00 was awesome
🙏
So awesome to this content again. New and Fresh! Thank you Randy!! I get so excited when I get a Fried Eggs Golf alert.
We always use old quart oil cans for gas for our lawnmower. You can write "Gas" on it or just notice that it has the viscosity of gas and not oil when you open/start to pour.
You guys just got me in trouble with my wife for waking her up with my laughter! (Totally worth it)
Another good video! Can't wait for the videos you mentioned at the end. Thanks for the content and coming back!
Loved it, just made my Saturday
@5:20 I'm busy, I'm a worker dude LOL Great video.
Scuba has a new name. Genius Steve
Good to see you getting out spending time with your dad. I should spend more with mine.
When he strapped in his putter HAHAHAHAAHAHHA Scuba Steve is hilarious lolol love the chemistry between you two
10:03 wow can't believe I've been watching you for 6 years time flies!
🙏
The banter is amazing! 😂 Absolutely love this channel!
Asst. Greenskeeper. LOL... awesome video. you guys probably wish you could make it as fast as Tom's Greens at Riverbend. LIGHTNING FAST!! Tom Botteron is the DUDE. Headed to Riverbend to play now after watching this video. Keep em coming!!!
My day gets immensely better when I see there's a new Fried eggs video
Got to say the green is looking really good. 👌
you went behind my head again - just picking up rocks - thanks for letting us hang out with you for awhile - needed the chuckles and vibes 👍⛳
Love it. Btw the green looks fantastic! I was sure you guys were making lightning in a bottle. Says a lot for the health of the green. Thanks so much and its good to see you guys at it!
So much fun watching you!!!
These are my favorite type of videos you guys do hands down, followed by playing the course with the changes
Fantastic production value and presentation. Great stuff guys. Thanks
Very cool video. Can't wait to see the "Around the World" competition!! Thanks for what y'all do!!
Father and sons….. 😂😂😂😂good to know we all have the same ”type” of conversations 😀
Great video! Can’t wait to see the greens keepers revenge video
Let's goooo! 🔥🔥
You can put a broom on the front of the mower too. I've seen a toro green mower brush attachment before.
The dynamic between you two is so awesome.
Scuba Steve giving Ted Talks on Putter transportation physics lessons🥸, the best way to redistribute fuel using an oil container 😳 and how important it is talk about your sticky balls 🤣. Top class video.👏
you can probably get a brush and groomer attachment for one of those walking mowers ......that way you can brush every cut
Love the father son dynamic. (Video idea) Ace applying to LIV Golf!
We usually cut out bent grass greens at .110. This year we have changed to thinner bed knives on out gm3150 mowers and have brought hoc down to .105 we would like to end up around .100 or even .098

Lol love the videos. Makes me smile every time.
The important lesson is, Randy doesn't know fractions and Scuba has no idea where to stand. LOL Love you guys.
Love it. You're making green keeping cool! Mind you, the two of you would make even 'watching paint dry' interesting! ;) Looking forward to the craziness that will ensue once it's like a mirror!

Always love your content. Far and away my favorite. I enjoy any and all your content.
However you do need to write a letter to Bryson Dechambeau. 🤓🤓
My weekend has been vastly improved
Just sanded mine and I’m going to try and brush it once it recovers abs mow it and roll it a ton like you guys did!
The road to perfection begins when you try
Missed you lads!
scuba's cuttin bullets!
Glastonbury on in U.K. I get an alert, only one thing to watch. You two are pure comedy gold!
Brilliant video boys………
🙏
Do you guys do anything special to dry out your sand to run through the drop spreader? Or just spread it out in the sun then put in buckets?
Sun, wind and a hot day. Oh yea don’t forget a lot of sweat
I like how the dog just hangs out.
Great video.. Get gas out the oil bottle, don’t you have a gas can, yes I got water in that. Comedy gold…
"I'm a worker dude!" 🤣
Always fun pal no matter what you guys are up to :)
I'm on my 3rd week as a grounds man and it's definitely hard work and I've only scratched the surface.
You got that right
"I do have a small gas can but it has water in it" 🤣🤣
He cracks me up! I grew up on a farm, I know exactly the backwards thinking mentality lol
Most of those things can be explained chronologically.
The oil bottle came first. Then a couple years later he needed a water bottle and had the gas can laying around so it got added in.
Matching green sleepers outfits next time??? Thanks for posting/sharing with us!
Need to get some tnex growth regulator going on there, and roll it at least weekly. We cut our bent @ .120 and they stay around 10.5-11 in good weather
We’re not ready to go that low maybe never. Next time we build will do a better job. Your talking about 2 guy’s that just said one day let’s build a green.
this is sooooooo sick!
behind my head again has to be a new tshirt! Still would like to know why you don't cut 2 holes and have 18 hole comps.. cheers!
classic, this is my dad and I 100% ha ha ha love it!
"But that could've been a small gas can"
"I've got one in there, but it's got water in it"
This is so absurdly funny I don't even know why
I wish my course put in at least a quarter of the effort as you guys on the greens
Yessss
Love the bickering!
Loved this video lol
Randy I don't really care about what you and your Dad are doing...because the interactions between the two of you guys are hilarious no matter what the topic is. Now joking aside its really interesting how much work actually goes into keeping Beverley's Hills in the pristine shape it's in. My hat's off to the head greenskeeper (Scuba Steve) and his assistant...what's his name?
Looks nice outside in the north country. Makes me jealous until November rolls around.
I have made myself 9hole par3 course in my backyard fields
Could golf with you two any time!
👍
Double cut the green alone will speed it up but once you verta cut it along with double mow you'll see a difference.
Can I ask you a question?……No 😂😂😂😂 Gold!
The important lesson here has nothing to do with the green speed it's all about a great relationship between father and son.
Backtrack mowing, mowing back and forth on the same line, aka the Augusta cut, would've been great right after grooming. You wouldn't have had the striping but performance would've been better.
We cut at a .110 our roller comes in late June, or july.
I think I remember being told that verti-cutting is more about getting the thatch out.
I think you are correct.
Most golf course cut @ .125 is pretty fast. I have a 9 hole par 3 course I run. I'm at .130. I have the same roller.
Just what I wanterd to see.
Lol. “Sticky balls”!!
