Good luck dude!

Good luck, I was just thinking about applying for this job

Hope your enjoying the best job in the world

@@jamesdunne6724 hey you have the same last name as the golf course I work at “Dunne” lol. But yes I’ve learned so much this season in terms of operating machinery and maintaining turf and have to say I’m considering pursuing this as a future career considering I’m still only in my college years.

same scenario. dont even have a drivers license. you gonna see me mow next to tiger woods one day.

You are not wrong about that one!

Dude same. I’m not a maintenance worker, but a treat laws for a living and I always see the most beautiful sunrises driving to work in the morning. I live in Kansas and we’re known for our sunrises. I don’t necessarily love the driving part of going to work in the morning, because there’s always traffic 😂. The sunrises make it a whole lot better though.

Far better than a sedentary IT job, I agree 💯

How can I get a job like her?

Yup, lol...I caught I did that when I rewatched. They are 100% supposed to be moved, you’re right. Thanks for watching!

Lol no probs I’ve subbed as well it’s always nice to watch fellow green staff work and try to pick up things that others might do differently

Yes very very poor practice

@@fairwayjohn6336 nice to learn about the warm season grasses im a student at the University of Guelph for their turfgrass management course so we tend to only focus on the cool season grasses. Id love to spend some time working with warm season grasses just might have to wait a couple more years

@@jamesdunne6724 you guys need to chill. Those tee boxes were immaculate, this isnt' your local clapped out muni with your shovel marks

Is like rust, it never sleeps

That's good advice David. NC State has a great program. That's a lot for watching a taking the time to comment. 35yrs is a lot of expertise. Glad to have you!

Yeah and golfers look at us all like we're less than not realizing their course would not be playable wothout us. Pricks

Agreed! 👊

How is it? Reaching my two year mark in June

You think thats crazy? I just got a superintendant position because I'm street smart, am an arborist and have a weird ability to pick up new things almost immediately... Im basically going in blind boys!

I started as a cook. This is a true story!

@@terryrothgeb1684 that is crazy. Im working my way on getting there. Thought you would need some sort of degree in turf management or agronomy??

@@tk-unc its a 9 hole with one greenskeeper. So far im working on the course from the top down to give immediate results for the play... I've mowed greens for one season... I need a pesticide and herbicide license, basically going to be a jack of all trades and try to make it work, the owner is confident 😅 as long as i don't kill an entire greens grass, I think it'll work out. I will though be diving into a lot more research into agronomy and soil based science. I saw the greens, blue fertilizer, in the rays of the inner wood that I cut a branch off of, to open up a greens approach shot. Seeing how the positive energy flow of water up a tree from photosynthesis raised the greens nutrition into it, gave me some cool sense of pride, i definitely know some, but im going to be very eager to learn. Plus its a small town, its free rent and utilities on the golf course... just to pour my heart and soul onto it.

Thanks a lot Eric. I appreciate it. Thanks for your support.

Excellent, I am considering it. Does it pay well?

@@vedantraut327depends on where you go. I make $16 an hour where I’m at

I personally prefer Deere, but Toro doesn't disappoint

@@rideoutsean we demoed a John Deere greens mower. It was decent. Much better than jacobsens

@@_P0tat07_ to be fair i think anything is better than jacobsens haha

@@rideoutsean we’ve had nothing but issues with them. 🤣

Definitely some fish in there. Thanks for commenting!

Thanks a lot Kevin. Appreciate you taking the time to write that.

Thanks for taking the time to watch Elliott. Also, thanks for the kind words about the quality...I’m glad you enjoy it! All the best to you!

You’re 100% right. I didn’t realize I did that until I rewatched it. Probably distracted myself by talking/holding camera but point being...you’re absolutely right. The mowing tip is solid as well. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

Appreciate you watching Mason. Thanks a lot. 👊

Thanks for watching Joe! Yea, that mower is really fun. Don’t get to use as much as I’d like. All the best to you.

Thanks a lot Jamie. I think the tripod would be awesome. Just don’t want to slow myself up by setting it up and moving it etc…but, it would add a lot. Thanks again.

They are pretty cool, right?! Thanks for taking the time to comment Matt!

Nice! Glad to hear it. Best of luck on the course. Thanks for watching. 👊

Thanks for watching and commenting. Lots of people make that switch...even if it’s only for a few months. We have an ex-teacher on staff right now as a matter of fact. Best thing to do is just get in there and start learning. Penn State has a great online certification program as well. All the best to you.

@@fairwayjohn6336 ... Thanks for the input, do you know what the name of the online course is Penn State holds.

Don't do it.

Appreciate it Rees. Thanks a lot for watching and taking the time to drop that comment. All the best to you. Thanks again.

Thanks for watching/commenting Nate! We do get to play for free...but honestly, it’s the last thing you want to do after a full day.

@@fairwayjohn6336 I can understand that😂

Thanks Tate. I wish, lol. Just part of the grounds crew. I appreciate you watching.

Worst job in the world, signed a former assistant superintendent

@@infjintegrityvsnarcissism7295 why? I’m thinking abt it as a career

@@tateswanson7687 You have no life. You work 7 days a week for 80 hours a week for a salary around 37K. Assistant superintendents make less money than bag boys and only make about 80 cents more an hour than the rookies on the crew. You get no respect either. Talk to alot of assistants before you go to college for Turfgrass Science.

@@tateswanson7687 it depends what course you work at. Some course will pay 50k a year starting for a assistant superintendent with pay increase. I also got free housing and free lunch. Fun job, but mid summer can be tough with the heat. Don’t listen to INFJ

You got it…it’s easy. After 2-3 weeks…you’ll feel right at home. Good luck.

Thanks for the question! It’s celebration Bermuda grass. Appreciate you watching.

Lol, yea we have quite a few, right?! They get sharpened once a week and are often rotated in and out. I’d happily let you take one but they’d probably ask me to take a permanent vacation. Thanks a lot for watching and for the comment!

@@fairwayjohn6336 in all seriousness, how often do most golf courses change out their greens mowers? I know it probably varies from course to course, but just generally. I live in Lafayette, LA and we have probably a dozen golf courses in this area. But I've never seen an auction or a store around here that sells the used course equipment. I'm trying to get my hands on a greens mower, but I'd prefer to avoid having to drive to west Texas or south Florida to get one.

No it’s optional You don’t need to some places just blow tees ,approach s after they are cut

Dang that’s a lot. This course is nowhere near that. Also, most members won’t play past 1pm...it’s kinda crazy.

That’s awesome…hosting a PGA event. Dang! We burn our stripes in which takes years of mowing the same direction. It’s more noticeable during certain parts of the year…right now we are doing aeration, etc…

@@fairwayjohn6336 sweet. i believe we mow in a circular pattern so maybe that’s why too. thanks for your reply!

Thanks for watching Sam. We do spray pre-emergents on all the flower beds, etc... the greens are sprayed everyday with a blend of nutrients. I’m honestly not sure if that formula includes anything to combat weeds. I’ll ask the spray technician for you. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

@@fairwayjohn6336 okay thanks, wanted to know what grass you have on the greens as well

what is he not telling

The fairway mowers do have the boxes, however these triplexes don’t. Why? No clue...I’d have to ask the superintendent that. Safety boots are actually a good idea. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

Did you get it? I'm in a similar situation. Worked Concrete construction for a few years and now I just want something less stressful on the mind and body. Thinking of applying but don't know much about lawn mowers.

@@jesussolorio8437 sorry didn’t see this till now.. yes I got the job and it was way easier than expected that is depending on where you go and how nice the people are there, I’m at a family owned course so they all tend to be friendly.. I’ve yet to get on the mowers but the shit looks plain simple

@@jesussolorio8437 another thing that can help is find out what kind of mowers they use and watch KZfaq vids on them you will get it in no time trust

@@ontarioaquatics9643 Awesome brother. Thank for the reply and goodluck. I'm going to go ahead and apply

@@jesussolorio8437 np man best of luck to ya

Appreciate you watching Nik. Thanks for commenting too. It’s just one of the hundreds here in South Florida, lol. Pretty much a resort course with limited membership.

Congrats man. Best of luck to you!

Lol, it ain’t bad...right?! Thanks for watching.

@@fairwayjohn6336 yeah man, love your editing and relaxing style of presentation, honestly if the golf course life doesn’t pay the bills you should consider freelance videography.
