I don't love the frozen wasteland of America's northern plains that I live in, but if it means avoiding whatever that spider was, I'm happy to stay right where I'm at.

[@gerrym75]

😄 they look worse than they actually are. Its a common Huntsman which aren't venomous and usually run rather than attack.

[@sbultitude-paull303]

As Gerry said they look worse than they are, I'd be willing to bet more people have been hurt freaking out at them rather than from the spiders themselves. You really have to go out of your way to piss them off before they'll bite. They're good to have around the house as they take care of a lot of pests

Just a little baby huntsman.

Utterly living vicariously through you at this point. -10*F where I’m at today. Would love to be out feeling the summer heat doing some heavy lifting. Keep up the good work

She’s coming along nicely!

[@tompettersson2447]

We appreciate you helping us all get our lawns as good as we can and learning us all out as well Ben. Merry Christmas to you and all your family.

[@onarandomnote25]

That time-lapse from 17:26 was just beautiful, really smashing the cinematography side of it mate. Keep up the great work!

[@thebikepackingadventurer]

When we next move property we are going to be buying land and I want to build a small par 3 course. This has been awesome to watch and learn from a pro

[@vehslx]

I came for the Kikuyu tips, and stayed for the golf green build. Loving it mate, keep up the great work!

[@MUY-BN]

Looking good, big step getting the sand down. Not sure if your golf hole has a name or logo, but that spider should be incorporated somehow!

[@calebsaunders6303]

Loving this project, mate! Can’t wait for the end result

[@cameronhutchinson3192]

Hey mate I know this is a unconventional practice but I'm a concreter and I use this to smoth out the sub grade of our slabs. If you can get a sheet of 72 mesh 2.6m by 6m and drag it over it from the 2.4 end it smooths it out very well and the transitions, you would be impressed with the quality you might want a extra hand doing so to short term ha rd work but worth it. 👍

[@andyhall288]

Awesome Ben. Keep it green mate

[@stuartbatcheldor5978]

Merry Christmas Ben. The green is looking great! 👌

[@Stentordoc]

This looks like an incredible amount of work! And I’m on the edge of my seat watching it! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@dlvh007]

Coming along very nicely! Hope you have a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

[@M_G_D_1]

Heck yea! This series is so enjoyable thanks mate.

[@tippo5341]

Wishing you and the family a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year (incl. Schnitty), and looking forward to seeing the Par 3 come to fruition in 2023...enjoy the season and here's to next year!!!!! Cheers from the Springs of Jordan in outer western Sydney!!!!

[@notmyname857]

Yo Mate, Merry Christmas to you and the Family.🎄 Thanks for all the awesome vids this year can't wait to see what you get up to next year.

[@grantrobertson5742]

I love seeing the progress, I hope you have a good break.

[@psallanward]

Well done Ben and merry Christmas to you all.

[@craigpykitt2473]

Great vid Ben , makes u realise how much work goes into a green but will look great when complete , watch out for them spiders mate hav a good Christmas cheers Craig 😊

[@lvond555]

So sweet! Love it. So cool to see a large scale usga spec green built. I just ran over my small backyard green with the riding lawnmower to compact the sand as much as a could 😆. Can't wait to see it leveled and seeded. Did you pick a cultivar yet can't remember seeing what you are seeding with.

[@damienquinn]

Look at you go man! Merry Christmas from my tribe to yours. This is a vid that will be part of your recap from start to finish in the future 🤘

[@simonbagley5851]

Loved the longer video today!!

Great job Ben, loving how it is coming together. Merry Christmas to you and your family, dont be building sand castles now lol

Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thank you for making my Saturday mornings 😄👍 can't wait to see the finished job. How's the Kikuyu looking?

[@damianeason5252]

Ha ha. Love the golf club measuring stick. Exactly what we use at work. Must be a common golf course thing.

[@KALSPL]

Nearly $10k in sand ouch ! That deserves a like alone !

[@southaussiegarbo2054]

Id say it is 10k

[@stephendarlingbrown]

Great video Ben it’s really coming together. I think what would be a great idea when the green is done to have some boards with your sponsors names at the side as a thank you because they’ve been so good with you. Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎁🎅🏼🎄

[@LawnTips]

Thanks mate! Actually already have some organised. 😉 definitely need to acknowledge how much they have helped. Merry Christmas to you and your family as well.

[@dylan8285]

Well the beauty of sand its self leveling and self compacting when you get a lot of rain/water on it

[@ih8ubarney322]

Great work, definitely have machine envy! Can you give us some info on the irrigation pump & sprinklers? Flow rates, how many sprinklers can you run and at what pressure? Thanks & have a great Christmas

[@darrenhateley3854]

Nice one!

Dude, I just jumped out of my EFFING SKIN. Holy moly, what kind of spider is that? Around here (NC, USA), we'd call that a dang wolf spider or something.

It’s a huntsman spider 😬

Where did you pick up the spider? From the skid steer?

Was that real or is your editing just that good? Looked real to me.

It was real haha. I reckon it was in the skid steer for sure

Possibly parkes.

Whilst not venomous, I’d rather set my body on fire then have it roam freely on more torso, neck and where-ever the fuck it went. Gives me the shivers.
