He is missing the most important tool which is the metal plate to stand on when cutting a new hole I always used it back in the late 70's it's to prevent marking the green around the new hole.

What happens if you punch holes but don't fill the holes with sand?

great overview. curious what fertilizers you use? Also do you over seed?

I work at saddle brooke ranch golf course by robson . We just started are aeration process this week .

why dont you drag mat it?

Where are the plugs?

Hmm interesting ive been that guy to fill them up thinking that would help it grow back smooth. Think id like to see a 3 week video of the results of each divot

Take in the beauty & snap back to okay that’s enough 😂

Why would you go to all the effort of plugging you greens, only to sand them with ZERO fertilizer or organic material added to feed you root structure? That is wrong. Verticut, mow,plug,fertilize,spread loam/compost/soil as needed, drag, THEN sand re-drag... water like hell for one cycle then back to schedule.

This is sort of inconsistent with every video I’ve seen on lawn leveling, and even some videos on Teebox leveling where they just use a leveling rake. But thanks for the video and I’ll try to fix my devotes with this method going forward.

Penncross is definitely a old cultivar, verticutting and using the brush attachment on walk mowers will help keep the grass standing up

Im also a superintendent, we have A4 bentgrass greens but the roots reach 10 to 12 inches from the maintenance practices we do but its also a private course so far less rounds being played

Its always best to aerate at different depths, vertidrain is great for going really deep, 10 inches or so and great for compaction or black layer

he put down 25 tons in 1 day, with a crew, I can do 12 on my own in one day lol I can only imagine getting that sand moved is where most of the time is at.

LOL @ 1:07

It is just too cliche these days for the superintendent to have their dogs with them 😂

That is awesome tips about gold course

*This mower....... changed my life **Bestfor.Garden** also recommend I never thought I would see the day when I would ever make the switch to electric yard tools. But this was one of my best decisions yet. My old 15+ year old gas mower snapped its pull string while trying to get it to fire up and instead of fixing it, I chose to upgrade instead.*

What type of sand do you use? Thx

Looking to sell my aerragreen machine 18k

This is great.

These look incredible even pre-roller. No big hops or direction changes in the ball you showed. I would definitely play this course after punching, you guys are great greens keepers.

Manual brooming is a waste of time

Sup

So the holes filled with sand then explain how grass regrows in those sand filled holes

Now in 240p.

Neat!

excellent video and exactly what i have been looking for, knowing when to try and repair, replace, etc. i am new to golf and want to make sure i help keep any courses i mutilate, growing back as best as it can

Just subscribed. Would love to see more course management. Bermuda care would be spectacular. Thanks.

As a Golfer Thank You in advance Regards to Ralphie 😉

The local courses that i go to does not seem to broom the sand nicely like how its done in this video. When they do it, there's tons of sand on the green

Why don’t golf courses lower their green fees for greens in that condition? Just asking.

LMAO...firstly, I aerify my own greens, secondly, in the fall I have 4 employees, not what llooks like 20 or so, and never do I drive around and observe

I am sorry if you have answered this before but what grass species is used on golf courses?

I hate doing this but someones gotta do it

WOW!!!

last Friday a lightning strike happened right over out heads inside the maintenance building. the superintendent's hair was standing up and he was about 6 feet from me. It also blew our pump and some irrigation stuff. really crazy stuff happens at out Golf course.

our range is shot to hell and there's nothing we can do to get it to grow. It's just to dry this year and the people here are savages!

haha love your videos!!

It's nice that implement also collects the cores.

Kudos to you, for giving credit to your mechanic(s)! It doesn't happen enough in the industry.

Wow. Know not to do that. Thanks.

Latino labor at work.

where are the plugs?

So on a sand based green, how deep is the soil until it gets to sand?

How many of those workers did you hire from Home Depot? lol

need some help with my green at my house.spring time what to do lol

how soon in the season can you plug the green,i made a green at my house and have been stumbiling along and I need some help.tks neil. I live in montreal Canada if this helps lol

Back in the old days of the 70's-80's we would top dress then water in and touch up any missed or low spots, then we would put on an old set of reels or use another old machine and cut the greens to even them out then over the next few days make touch up adjustments. Then just to punish the old men crybabies i'd let the greens grow long for a couple days between cuts to aggravate them.....lol. I Always told them it was part of the "Recovery process".
