HACK TEARS UP BACKYARD GOLF GREEN | aeration 101

[@chriskubond6314]

Won't be no time and that green will be pure pure. That drone shot was sick. It's going down this summer at Spud Run

[@SpudRunGolf]

Hopefully we can have pure conditions for the Memorial Day tourney.

[@thisizcle140]

My favorite episode so far....I caddy at a club with immaculate greens....they were in excellent shape to begin the year and then we punched.....nice to see the whole process step by step

[@joe59golfer]

I would think that all of the US golf courses would get together and kick in a little $$ for you. Your entertaining and great content helps give the average golfer a glimpse of how much effort and material goes into golf course maintenance, which ultimately helps them to justify the ever increasing green fees across the country. I know that I never appreciated all that has to be done. I hate paying more to play golf, but at least I understand a little better why. You are the golf course documentary that they never produced. Well done and good luck this season!

[@SpudRunGolf]

That’s a pretty awesome comment. Maybe I should start including actual cost with these projects. Thanks Joe.

[@lorenmars5244]

I dream of doing this when I retire in 13 years. I will have a budget of about 25% of this budget. Learning everything I can here. Fun channel.

[@SpudRunGolf]

Don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions.

[@digdrivediy]

I have the same Zebra putter! This was a great video Jeremy. I spotted what looked like some Canon footage when you were running the aerator? This is a labor of love for sure! Great channel.

[@SpudRunGolf]

Good call on the camera. I’m yet to get all the new equipment put together for one video. I have a zebra putter addiction!

[@nunyabidness454]

I can't wait for the next update.....I get excited growing the peppers in my yard. I can't imagine how satisfying it is to do the same thing on a scale like that......then be able to sit back with a beer and take a few swings. You've done a fantastic job and made the process a lot of fun to watch. keep it up!

[@SpudRunGolf]

Thank ya much. Lots of projects lined up for this year(time permitting)

[@davidcarlson3463]

Man you did better in that green than my golf club… This next couple of months will be great for the course!

[@SpudRunGolf]

Let’s hope so!

[@bbg147]

Another great vid. Aeration always causes a fair bit of disruption but it's definitely a case of one step backwards to take two forwards. Keep up the good work

[@SpudRunGolf]

I’m hoping so. Excited to see how it turns out in a few weeks.

[@eztv1656]

We top dress with the sand first, punch the green let it dry out in the sun then brush it in. Raise the mower reels for a week or 2 otherwise you will just pick up the sand. Greens will be little slow But when you do lower the reels back down after a few mows they will be great! Yea if that is the first time with something that heavy on the green that is the issue. And I would use the golf cart to brush in the sand. Those 4 wheeler tires are not easy on the green. Really looks great have a great golf season looking forward to new videos this summer!

[@SpudRunGolf]

Really appreciate the feedback. My golf cart was broke down. I’m 1.75 weeks since I aerated and they are still strugglin to recover

[@MikeL-vu7jo]

What a huge responsibility it is having a great golf hole you have built that's my dream imagine having 9 or 18 great job thanks .

[@SpudRunGolf]

I’d say it is a lot of work but it’s very rewarding.

[@sameguygolf]

I really enjoy seeing what we have all seen at our clubs but it was nice to see what all goes into it. I think you are going to really enjoy the work you put into it. Hopefully it levels out as well. Keep it up, I'm loving the story you tell.

[@SpudRunGolf]

Appreciate the positive thoughts!

[@smokinlegges]

Luv your passion, it's addictive, I gotta giddyup to keep up

[@SpudRunGolf]

Love it bro!

[@gordonmelrose4828]

Another great video Jeremy and really nicely produced as well. Looking forward to seeing the changes all that hard work on the green makes.

[@SpudRunGolf]

Appreciate ya Gordon.

[@aussiegolfer2919]

Absolutely brilliant channel mate . Love the work you have done on this hole . Keep up the great work my friend . Going into winter here in Australia 🇦🇺 but still get my golf in every week 🏌️‍♀️⛳️⛳️🏌️‍♀️👍

[@SpudRunGolf]

I’m hoping to get a bunker in before the end of May.

[@timothybevis6095]

Nice job brother. Hope that green rolls out better for you. Thanks

[@SpudRunGolf]

Me too.

[@immnd1]

Great channel Jeremy. I have enjoyed the Cairn Creek channel and now I’m all caught up on this one. Keep up the good work.

[@SpudRunGolf]

That’s fantastic, don’t believe I’ve seen you comment on Cairn Creek.

[@ocashflo]

Love watching. Just reminds me of all the hard work that was so fun at the Par 3 course I managed and maintained!!!

[@SpudRunGolf]

I imagine it’d get pretty boring after a few greens.

[@ocashflo]

@@SpudRunGolf I loved it! I actually lived in the back of the pro shop which was a 100+ year old house. Woke up each morning 5:30ish cut greens. Opened the shop at 7:00 and when the pro showed up around 8 then I’d go out and take care of the other duties. At lunch come in and handle club repair and run shop while pro gave lessons and grabbed lunch. I’d take the next 2-4 hours off come back and close up when the last player or sunset happened. Ball picker had lights so I’d pick the range after hours. Oh the stories!! If KZbin was a thing back then it would have made for a great

[@SpudRunGolf]

@@ocashflo that’s sound like hard work but very fun. I worked at a course similar to that in my teenage years. I hated getting up that early.

[@ocashflo]

@@SpudRunGolf I loved every minute of it. Even got to hire a helper in the summer to weed eat the perimeter and around the 2 ponds. He would wash carts and gas them up. Hahaha

[@ztheg_]

the tire ruts are normal after aeration. The aerator lifts the turf and root zone as well as punching holes. the tracks are just the tires pushing down the freshly lifted surface. Every green, including established ones will have tracks from the wheels. just roll the green every day for 5-9 days after then start cutting. also don't roll wet sand, it builds on the rollers and will imprint the green as you do a pass.

[@SpudRunGolf]

Great to know. I truly appreciate the feedback.

[@ocashflo]

You scared me with going straight through the middle to start since you had the crash course!!!! No test green but start on the far side next time to save me after reading your title! Hahahahah

[@SpudRunGolf]

Haha. I actually done a small test in the rough on the back side then I said eff it, let’s roll.

[@JTM2000]

I know it hurt to chop her up but you’ll have her rolling like Agusta in 3 weeks. Can’t wait to see what’s next. Dallas Texas checking in

[@SpudRunGolf]

That will be awesome if things turn pristine by Memorial Day!

[@ronaldsinclair6837]

Aerating the green looks pretty scary. Has to be done though. Keep up the good work, it's enjoyable to watch.

[@SpudRunGolf]

Thanks Ronald.

[@reesbritton6623]

Your music choices always surprises me… I like it, but I wouldn’t think you were into the music that you are! Lol.

[@SpudRunGolf]

I listen to everything.

[@chrisbaughman9194]

i Might have missed it at the start, but is it called Spud Run?

[@SpudRunGolf]

Yep.

[@chrisbaughman9194]

@@SpudRunGolf I meant to ask why the name of spud run was used?

[@SpudRunGolf]

@@chrisbaughman9194 it’s a long story that I’ll tell in detail one day. The short of it is my buddy has a huge potato farm and we wanted to build a golf course there as kids.

[@gavintownsend4372]

Do you have access to sportsturf tires?

[@SpudRunGolf]

Not sure.

[@scottlemley]

Aeration is always scary, but a necessary evil. Thank you for the video.

[@SpudRunGolf]

Appreciate it.

[@brownclj]

bet all that fertilizer wasnt cheap Forc. how much you charging for 2022 memberships at Spud Run!?

[@SpudRunGolf]

It’s not a cheap endeavor. No memberships are for sale.

[@brownclj]

@@SpudRunGolf guess i'll have to stick to the jaycees and country club rotation for now. i try to avoid Moose when i can anyways lol
