I have a high respect for all golf course crew workers because they get up that early and are willing to get up that early to make sure everything is perfect for others to have fun. On behalf of a huge golfer thank you.

Nothing like pouring your heart and soul into a course every day, then you see golfers throwing their beer cans into the bush. 30 years for me, 16 as a super. It'd be the perfect job if you could get rid of the staff and golfers.

My dad is a superintendent, I was around the course maintenance since I was about 3 and I started working at 10 raking traps. I started full-time at 12 and did it till I was 22. I'm 36 now and just went back to work at a course for the first time in 15 years. Never thought I would do it again. I love the work, the pay is low but I don't care. I've only been at my current course three months and I'm allowed to do all jobs, I'm building a nursery green even mostly by myself. It's a great feeling doing a job you are exceptionally skilled at and appreciated for.

Not only do I work as the mechanic, but I also put in the extra effort to set flags, cut cups, put out water for the members and collect trash, as well as mowing Tee Boxes, rough, or anything else that needs to be cut around the 100+ acres. I love my job, but I wish my coworkers worked as hard...

Low pay but very rewarding..

That was a good video man. Great looking course! I've been at my course for 15 years now. Golf course maintenance is certainly a unique job. My shift starts at 4 and ends at 12:30. The biggest downside for us is that we are a municipal course, so funds are extremely limited. So lack of man power and trying to get every bit of life out of equipment gets challenging at times. The hardest part of my job is the weather. This Texas heat, humidity, and these mosquitoes the size of a bumblebee have you dreaming of an inside job sometimes...lol.

I work at a 27 hole complex with 9 workers, I cut cups, pick up trash, and roll the greens on all 27. Then cut tees, collars, and approaches, then either weedeat where the slope mowers miss or one of several other jobs around here calls for. Speed up your cup cutting by starting where your placing the pin, drop your flag and cup setter, cut the cup take it to the old hole, fill it in with the plug properly, then grab everything and go back to the fresh cut hole set the cup change the flag make sure it's straight and walk away. Also when cutting don't twist it all the way down get it past the grass then pound it down to proper level give it a half turn then pull it out will pack it in and keep it from falling out *helpful hint*.

I worked on the Ground Crew at a golf resort in Northern CA.....My morning job was to cut the new hole locations .......My mood that morning after waking up at 3:30 am, driving the 45 minutes to the course and getting started before the sun came up dictated how "tough" the hole locations would be that day.... My boss, the course superintendent, would sometimes get complaints. He would ask me: "wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?". lol.... In all seriousness, loved this job when when working during the spring and summer months between college semesters........ Also, when I planned on playing 18 holes after work, I had the advantage of cutting the hole locations where I wanted to see them :-)

Have been told "I get it" by superintendent where I help sweep the dew about 4 mornings a week. It's not that hard to get it but a lot of people don't get it and those are the same people that don't repair one ball mark, replace a divot, and get their ball out of the cup using a putter and think that's ok. Played front 9 at North Oaks in 1995 in high school and played as our #1 player that day. Having the practice green so close to the 1st tee resulted in Every golfer playing #2-6 that day for all the teams could easily gather around and watch my group tee off. I've never been that nervous hitting a golf ball. Where'd you hit it on 1? I don't remember but it wasn't horrible. 👏👏👏(clapping for the golf course greens crew people, not my tee shot)It's one of the best courses in Minnesota designed by a Canadian and the last in the U.S. that Stanley Thompson would do before retreating to Canada blow all his money.

Did 13 years at Sedgefield CC . Hated rolling greens! Never failed you get caught by golfers with 5 holes to go, then it took forever to finish. I liked mowing rough the best. Summers all you did was mow grass for the most part. Winters were more relaxed with some fun projects...ALWAYS USE HEARING PROTECTION!!! NEVER LISTEN TO MUSIC WITH YOUR EARBUDS WHILE USING A MACHINE!!!

I wish my day went this smoothly out at the course I work at. We have 6 guys during the summer season and have junk equipment. No designated mechanic or proper documentation for a lot of the things we have. WE just have to wing it and things will go wrong constantly.

I'm a groundskeeper at a private course and wake up at 3:30 am but like it since I get off 9:30 am or 1:30 PM so have all day to sleep or go out. I'm only 15 and dont golf but it's a great job, very scenic especially at the course I'm at.

I worked on a resort while attending college. Started mowing greens at 5am. Then hop on the fairway mower and double cut those. It’s one job I’ve had in my life that I’d do for free. Get out of class in time to play a round for free. Except for the 91 bunkers. Did not enjoy that so much.

*My day on the grounds crew back in the day went like this...* Cup cups Stop in the clubhouse and get some free drinks Chop up the beer cart girl for a while Mow some grass Park in the woods and chill, smoke, make phone calls, etc. Weedwhip a few weeds Play a couple random holes Chop up the beer cart girl some more Get off work at about 2pm Go home and nap for a couple of hours Go back to the course and golf till sundown I only made like $8.50 an hour but I got free golf and girls so it was the best job I've ever had.

I use the same boots love em. Your course looks really good too. The equipment seems a lot different though. I'm trying to get out to Florida and work on a course there but I'm not too sure if I'd be good enough to make it look as nice as they do. I'm used to Illinois weather, grounds.
