Golf Course Worker | A Day in The Life | Maintenance Crew | Grounds Crew | EP:31

Welcome back to the course! The course is in the midst of a closure as we aerate the fairways and greens. Thanks for watching!

[@Mikka.Landry]

This year will be my third year doing maintenance, and I love it! Nothing beats beibg outside and seeing the sunrise every morning

[@RandomFandom1]

I mow an HOA neighborhood with huge ponds an fields that have been rutted in with a 64, now we have 72's, and these dummies are following the old wheel marks and not making bigger stripes. I had to take over. Can't trust the whippers around the pond. I have slid in a couple times. It's so wet in ohio that the lawn moves under the wheels as I drive by. 😊

[@Negotea]

I love it. It is obvious it is well taken care off... Not only most necessary stuff but a lot of effort to make it better and nicer.

[@dazroll6759]

[@andrewburris2730]

Glad to see that you are back I was beginning to wonder if the new course didn't want you filming anymore.

[@fairwayjohn6336]

Yea…it was dicey for a minute there. Thanks a lot for taking the time to watch. Really appreciate it Andrew

[@johnhamilton9229]

Hey John, it almost looks like they a vertical cutting with the debris coming out the back. Looks like fun

[@rubelrana5778]

I working in golf course 6year I no this all Work I love this job

[@cancerous_panckake2210]

i am 16 and recently just started working as an irrigation technician on a course in Canada and even though i am in charge of 250+ sprinklers a quarter of them being manual sprinklers it is the most fun job i have ever had and i live just across from the course i envy your courses in Florida up here in Canada on the course i work on those sand traps are all yellow and have weeds growing through some worse than others but yours in Florida are amazing the white sand really makes the course pop and when i say this i am not just trying to be nice YOU DESERVE SO MANY MORE SUBSCRIBERS

[@fairwayjohn6336]

Wow, thanks a lot. Appreciate you watching. Keep at it! You’re going to do great in the business.

Thanks Jack! Best wishes to you there in Australia! Thanks for watching!!!

[@dtlocke]

“I’ve seen many just duff it into there. Pretty funny.” Dammit! I knew the grounds crew was judging me and now I’m gonna be even MORE self-conscious! 🤣

[@fairwayjohn6336]

Lol…this is hilarious.

[@jacobwatson9962]

The king has returned

[@fairwayjohn6336]

Hahaha. “The King”….I wish….but thank you!

[@blankman6626]

Great job. I was just about to ask about the lunch.

[@fairwayjohn6336]

Sadly not on the weekends :( Thanks for watching!!

[@johnhamilton9229]

Ok should have watched the rest before my comment. Still like your tours

[@MrDarowe86]

Great videos I also work on a golf course doing the same things

[@fairwayjohn6336]

Thanks for watching David! Good luck on the course! 👊

[@evanmyllenbeck3875]

So glad the videos are back! How you liking the JD gators?

[@fairwayjohn6336]

Thanks Evan. I like them a lot. Powerful…a little noisy…but overall, they get the job done.

[@nikolaitownsend1239]

Why is the grass cut 2 times that day. Also, how many times a week is the course mowed? Great video!

[@LimitlessLifeChannel000]

We just aerated this week. Shit, I had had to walk for two days for greens and tees aerification

[@MrDarowe86]

We aerate 2 months ago

[@cmdrpoppinfresh]

Love the grass maintenance videos. I just aerated and top dressed my lawn, still needs more work though. Let me know if they ever want to get rid of one of those Greensmasters!

[@fairwayjohn6336]

Lol, will do! Good luck on your lawn. I’m sure it will turn out great. Thanks a lot for watching. 👊

[@cardplayer85]

9:03 was verticutting but you corrected it later. You guys top dress after punching it looks like? How are you guys removing the cores, blowers or machine? I'm just a homeowner with some low cut Bermuda but I really enjoy your vids and the course maintenance information.

[@fairwayjohn6336]

Yup, you’re right. Meant to say verticutting there…! Usually they will drag the fairways…break up cores…blow them off. I’m not sure if we are dragging this time but I’ll film it when it happens. Thanks a lot for watching.

[@markcrowe6451]

Verticutting fairways is what I saw. Not aerifying , they weren't pulling plugs.

[@MrDarowe86]

We finished all our areation

[@ryanhollier6055]

I wish our golf course shut down while we worked on it

[@samuelasamoah6906]

Do you do soil test, if yes how do you collect your soil samples? considering how big your land area is, the tee boxes, then fairways, and greens...curious to know how your soil sample collection is done.

[@fairwayjohn6336]

Hi Samuel - the Assistant Super (or Super himself) will randomly pull cores to test soil conditions. I believe they pull about 5in plugs. I personally don’t do soil testing.

[@raybaker8653]

Do you know what kind of wetting agent the course uses? I was actually looking for one for my yard b/c it's really compact and has trouble absorbing water

[@fairwayjohn6336]

I’ll ask Ray. I think I know but don’t want to be wrong. I think it’s called “Defender” but let me check.

[@P_sharkey410.]

What course do you work on?

[@rjworld7122]

Very diferent job in the uk no way could we close the course for 10 days looks amazing though iam a mechanic deputy head but you have 10 times the machinery we do in england

[@fairwayjohn6336]

Thanks a lot for watching Matt. Appreciate you sharing as well. Best of luck to you!

[@utubeisgood1669]

Do you have any tips on making straight lines when there’s no dew on the ground I ve just started mowing tee boxes and I can’t see my lines and then when I’m done I look at it’s curvy any tips?

[@fairwayjohn6336]

Hey Henry - thanks for watching. Try finding a reference point in the distance to start from then as you’re about to make your turn…try being aware where you exit the tee box so you can use that to make your next pass. It isn’t easy…trust me…so don’t think you’re not doing a good job. Main thing is to get the grass cut. 👊

[@BigKO89]

Wait till you can’t see the lines on a fairway with no dew 🤣

[@utubeisgood1669]

@@BigKO89 I was just talking to a guy about that who did it the first time today😂

[@kieranbutton3868]

Hi I’m looking to do a greenkeeping apprenticeship and I was wondering if you could give me any tips

[@fairwayjohn6336]

Hello! Find a course that suits you and just go introduce yourself. They are always looking for hard workers. You’ll do great. Good luck!

[@MrDarowe86]

You still vlog with the phone?

[@fairwayjohn6336]

Thanks for watching David. Yup, saving up for camera. Thanks for the comment.

[@Fredrick813]

Absolutely hated this job. Boss was horrible co workers snorted coke every morning. If you ever go to Warwick hills golf course in gran blanc Michigan don’t, worst people you will ever meet
