Personally I really like these “Green keepers diary’s “ People are too quick to moan about the conditions of a course but it’s looks bloody hard work. Well done all green keeping staff.
I have a friend who is a green's keeper. He is always banging on about his hard work not being appreciated, and we tell him "Ridding around on a lawnmower all day is not hard work". Your video's with the grounds staff are real eye openers Liam. From putting in drainage, covering the greens with tarps and collecting the "leather-backs?" (daddy long-legs grubs), different grass cutting and rolling, and now all the stuff in this video. I think i need too buy my friend a pint or six, and let him know he is appreciated, and thank him properly :-)
I've been a Greenkeeper for 18 years and I can absolutely guarantee Greenkeeping is anything but easy.... The knowledge and hard graft you apply is largely unnoticed by most golfers/golf club staff... I'm in the process of getting out of it after so long as it's poorly paid and unsociable hours, it isn't rewarding financially, but it is rewarding in the product you produce....
@@Harryjones05. My friend is Steve Beach, from the Romford area of East London. (you do not get a free beer). Edit: But thank you Gaz for all your hard work. (Steve says, "Golf is a waist of a good walk". Do all green keepers say that?).
Ive been a Greenskeeper for 16 years now(Assistant Superintendent the last 4 years). Thats what people think who aren't out doing the job. We get all these High school & college kids coming in thinking its gonna be easy work. They find out real quick its not.
The way I see it, it is a necessary evil. It needs to be done to give us golfers the best surface to putt on. 1 month after it is done, the greens are usually perfect. And you can always tell which courses care about their players.
I don't see why people cry and moan, if done properly it only lasts a week two at most depending if done properly and at right time. This video acts like this is done only during certain times of the year, we verticut every other week and light topdress during the growing season. We or I, since I'm the superintendent have the greens aerated a ton during the growing season but not all aeration is the same, we vertidrain twice, one in early spring which is 12 inch deep solid tines aeration holes which also help compaction 12 inches deep, watch a video just search vertidrain, than we do it again during the start of summer on greens and fairways. We also pull plugs twice a year, in March and September which is hollow tine aeration. We also do compressed water aeration which is called hydrojet aeration, it takes forever but shoots water in the green, no you can barely tell its being done. We do that once a month during the very hot months. We can also punch holes any time we want for more airflow into the greens if the weather is really bad, these are small solid tines holes.
@@chosen1one930 people cry and moan due to the Clubs practices of charging full price for aerated greens. I would have no problem playing on an aerated green for a discount. I am not paying full price tho to pay on aerated greens. Many times, the Club will lie about it or not even tell u when paying greens fees.
That was more than interesting, hope we have more on this throughout the year so we can see what efforts are made by the green keepers during the different seasons 👍🏼
Just hope something doesn’t go wrong and you have retainer the greens with sand. 12 hour day of carrying and shoveling sand pretty much nonstop to keep up with the machine.
This is absolutely fantastic! As an avid goofer and former greens keeper this vid is so important to show how much work goes into keeping the greens soft, true and puttable. So all you who pout or whine when ya see a punched green, its all done for your putting pleasure. Quitya whining and thank the staff.
My lad is a Greenkeeper in the USA I have seen this very necessary process a few times, good to have it explained to Members of clubs clearly & simply, as we all take the Maintenance for granted, thank you Liam & the Channel, Tony Southport Lancs
The unsung heros of the golf course. Out for a round this morning and the majority of greens have been scarified and the hollow coring underway. Nice to see whats involved. Cheers Liam.
Every golf course should run this video in their clubhouse and send a link to their members! Would really reduce the belly-aching at the courses I've been playing. They've just started this process in the past couple of weeks. These courses have been Immaculate this spring and summer and this is what it takes to keep them that way! Very enlightening video Liam!
My son is an apprentice green keeper at Astbury GC, and these videos that Liam does with the green keepers are brilliant. Explains why they have to do the work and what’s involved, hopefully it’ll break down the barriers that some golfers have in understanding what’s needed to make the course play in such good condition all year round. Thanks Liam, great content and more of these please.....
Fantastic video Liam. Normally all we as golfers see are when the greens have been punched and sanded. I had no idea of everything that goes on before that. Greenkeepers do a fantastic job so that we can have perfect putting surfaces. That's why when I see the guys out working at my club I always make sure to thank them for the fantastic job that they do.
One of the best golf videos I’ve ever watched. Everyone moans about hollow tining but now we all know so much more goes on that they purposely hide to help us out too! Great work Liam!!
I already had respect for greenskeepers and golf course maintenance, but this makes me appreciate them even more. I can't imagine the evolution of maintaining a golf course, and how the machines were built!
Think its important to get an insight so that the next time we feel like moaning just how much work goes in to keeping our courses in tip top condition
Cracking not only funny vids you do but really informative ones too shows the effort that greenkeepers go to to make our golf enjoyable and a course thats in tip top condition to play on
Wow that was fantastic hats off to all green keepers as never knew how technical it was until now: thank you to all the green staff and Liam for the video top draw:
Great to see you showing how important it is to have a good golf superintendent and green keepers most golfers have no idea how difficult it is to keep their course maintained great video Liam thanks
Great video! The importance of the top dressing is something many of us don’t fully understand. I think more of the “behind the scenes” at the Club would benefit all of us. Thanks Liam!
Brilliant video 👍, Being a beginner golfer I didn't realize how much work goes into keeping greens so nice. This is why you should have a big respect for the courses you play on and staff who look after them.
I do similar work for my cricket club with a lot of the same machinery , not many members understand the hours of work it takes to produce a good playing surface. So when I turn up to play golf at my club I always appreciate the work the greenstaff put in and will always say thanks if I get chance to speak to them.
Start my new job as assistant green keeper tomorrow, I can’t wait & this came up right on cue. I’ve obviously been watching a lot of this stuff and this video didn’t disappoint. Very clear explanations with a visual component to boot. Thanks again Golf Mates, I’m primed & ready for action 🫡
Liam, these videos are so informative, love these, its so different from the mainstream golf vids, I bet every golfer enjoys these. Plus it will promote respect for the green staff from golfers who complain about work on the course. (and yes, I was one!!!)
Love this series on green keeping, just goes to show the hard work behind the scenes, it's made me repair not only mine but other players pitch marks as well.
Love the way he explains everything so easily and doesn't go into too much detail, thanks for the video. Just wish courses would tell you that they just finished aeration sucks paying full price to get onto a course full of sandy greens lol.
Thanks so much Liam for a really informative, behind the scenes video. One of these once in a while with the Dave and the greenskeeping staff would be a great addition to the channel.
These videos are epic something normally o lynx green keepers would know and it's great that your making them part the channel because without them we would have no courses. I love how you are so inclusive to everyone getting us to see every aspect from all backgrounds in golf and probably when clubs are open fully will show us into what goes into running the whole club. Keep safe and well golfmates
Awesome, I wish my lessons at school were taught like this, I was transfixed to his every word.. I've just got my very different informative golf fix.. 👏⛳
Some times we forget just how hard it is to keep our favorite courses in top shape. The frustration of playing on or around the greens when they are being kept up is well worth the results.
Love Daves videos I'll say it again unsung hero's. Don't forget you have concentrated on the green but there is the fairways and the surrounding landscape they look after and do a sterling job in all weathers!
Love these videos the most. The effort our green keepers go to is outstanding. It was also great to hear the respect towards the golfers from him due to how much we pay. More of this style video please Liam 👏👏
Liam these maintenance vids are brilliant and should give any golfmate a huge respect for what the grounds keepers do and it’s a wonderful learning experience I will never be upset again when I go to a course and the greens look like this 👍
I don't know a thing about golf and can't remember how I found this video, but wow what a process! I really loved seeing just how much work goes into golfing greens, I know they look immaculate and now I also know why!
John Kimberley How fascinating is that. Thanks to all greenkeepers for all your hard work and for keeping the courses so well for the players. I really appreciate you.
Brilliant video I’ll never complain about san or holes again.....I was chatting to a member from West lancs golf club, where they have a competition called the green keepers revenge, where all the holes are cut into hills on the greens or the most difficult part of the green. WHAT A GREAT IDEA FOR DAVE AND HIS STAFF TO DO all the money for the comp goes to the greens staff
You can’t play good golf without smooth greens. Greenkeepers, you guys rock, this was very informative and hopefully, a lot less moaning and groaning by club members. This would be the best time for the golf mates to work on their long game, iron play, pitching and chipping. Putting can be practiced at home!
Great video Liam, there is alot of knowledge and science to being a greenskeeper, its not just topping up the mower with petrol and wracking away like alot of golfers think
More club members need to see this from all over to get the bigger picture of how the summer greens are produced... hard work through oct to March. Top vid
These videos with the green staff have been excellent. Great to know how we get those slick even rolling surfaces during the season and everything they do to make our lives easy.
Thank you Liam last night was first night home with my second little boy (now got a 3 ball set up in the future lol) I got no sleep but I managed to watch a lot of your videos to keep me going top bloke 👌👍
Great vlog Liam; good to see the work that goes on often unseen. Wish more players would see this and realise why it is necessary and give the greenkeepers some proper respect. Cheers from #500
This was a great video Liam. As both you and the green keeper said, golfers (including me) had no idea of all the work done before the hollow tining. Really informative video - keep the great videos coming.
I learned to appreciate green keepers more. Wow what a process just so I can try to get the little white ball into a little round hole. Thanks Liam for the insight. :)
I was talking to our head greenkeeper at Springwood Country Club the other day and he said the first part of his interview was to see how thick skinned he was. We golfers really can moan about coring and sanding but it is essential for keeping the greens healthy. Thanks, Liam.
Every golf club should educate their members like this! Brilliant video amazing how many golfers don't realize and appreciate how hard the green staff work and that they are qualified. Played Ashton last month after top dressing and before brushing in, I won a special price for the best sand castle !😉
Liam, this was one of your most interesting and informative videos. I've always wondered about this process and the reasons for it...now I know. Thank you for making such a great behind the scenes video!
Mid-late 90s I was contracted to do this on courses all over Scotland. I was about 22 and was as far up north as doon rae, I did a few miles over Scotland that year.. I enjoyed it
Great vlog today. I always see those lines on the green this time of year but didn't know what they actually did. Great day for golf here in Canada, sunny and 75 degrees. I am going out to play in a couple of hours at my favorite course, a beautiful Donald Ross course!
Be HONEST golfmates! DID YOU LEARN SOMETHING NEW in this video?? Comment below what you learned!!!
Yeah, keep my fingers away from them blades 🤣🤣🤣
Personally I really like these “Green keepers diary’s “
People are too quick to moan about the conditions of a course but it’s looks bloody hard work.
Well done all green keeping staff.
Actually found it quite interesting very educational nice to hear it all explained to have a better understanding of what goes on
Absolutely, brilliant vid, Liam!
That was bloody interesting and informative. Our green keepers could learn a lot from watching this!
I have a friend who is a green's keeper. He is always banging on about his hard work not being appreciated, and we tell him "Ridding around on a lawnmower all day is not hard work".
Your video's with the grounds staff are real eye openers Liam. From putting in drainage, covering the greens with tarps and collecting the "leather-backs?" (daddy long-legs grubs), different grass cutting and rolling, and now all the stuff in this video.
I think i need too buy my friend a pint or six, and let him know he is appreciated, and thank him properly :-)
Everybodys idea of greenskeeping is based off of Caddy Shack lol,

It's really great to see all the thoughtful and precise maintenance that doesn't happen at my local courses
Greenkeepers all over the world smashing the 'Like' button !
This should make us a bit more sympathetic to course maintenance
Very interesting
I was thinking the same thing, we just got done punching ours.
Work at a golf course myself and we just aerated the greens, trust me we hate doing it as much as golfers hate putting

Yes it is
Didn't realise there was a host of video's on the greenkeeping - need to go back and watch them all as its interesting stuff. Cheers for sharing.

Very interesting. I had no idea about 80% of this stuff. Makes me appreciate the greenskeepers and their special knowledge and skills.
Same pal
Brilliant. Learnt so much and just how labour intensive greenkeeping is.
Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Make sure Dave knows that he is an excellent teacher as well as head greenskeeper.
Haha he’s

I really wasn't interested in this when I saw the title. Totally changed my mind as I watched. Interesting - keep up with the variety in videos. 👍🏼👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you, hope your new house is amazing 🏠
That was CLASS Liam! Love the green keepers videos! It's very cool to understand the reasons for all the work being done!
Great to see an insight into the hard work all greenkeepers do thanks you for keeping our golf courses in great condition we do appreciate it
One of the best golf videos on UA-cam!
Absolutely fascinating. Hats off to all green keepers.
Absolutely fascinating! Really makes you appreciate the work that goes on to give those smooth greens.
Golfmates hidden superheroes. Really interesting to see how much knowledge and work they put in. Keep it up👍
the Benny Hill music was perfectly placed once again, i love it! thank you greens-keepers all the world over!
Brilliant video Liam, really interesting, did not realise the time effort and science keeping greens in good quality. Brilliant idea, cheers mate.
Fantastic more of these please. Some of us afternoon players hardly know what the greenkeepers as ours have gone home by 3
👍 great to see all the hard work the green keepers have to do to keep the greens in such good condition
Yes it is!
Great interesting video. Shows the effort and the knowledge of the green keepers.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love these green keeping vlogs, very interesting, makes us appreciate the hard work that goes into keep a course in top shape.
Thanks, it does!
Fascinating insight into just how much work goes into keeping our greens pristine.
Great informative video, should be shown to all golfers to make them aware of what is necessary to keep greens in perfect condition🏌️♂️⛳️
Absolutley brilliant video! truly makes us golfers realise the behind the scenes work and what our money pays for. Thanks Liam that was great.
One of the most informative turf videos on youtube
Always learn something new with the greenkeeper video s 👍
Great video guys, really interesting and would love to see more like this. All ground staff are heroes, bless em all. 👍👍
They Are 👍
I learned to appreciate green keepers more. Wow what a process just so I can try to get the little white ball into a little round hole. Thanks Liam for the insight. :)
Very interesting and eye opening Liam. All for a better understanding of the greenkeeper's art.
Liam this sort of video is some of the best on the channel mate.
I was talking to our head greenkeeper at Springwood Country Club the other day and he said the first part of his interview was to see how thick skinned he was. We golfers really can moan about coring and sanding but it is essential for keeping the greens healthy. Thanks, Liam.
Every golf club should educate their members like this!
Brilliant video amazing how many golfers don't realize and appreciate how hard the green staff work and that they are qualified.
Played Ashton last month after top dressing and before brushing in, I won a special price for the best sand castle !😉
These are great videos Liam, would love to see more of this, too many golfers don't appreciate the valuable work greenkeepers do!
Liam, this was one of your most interesting and informative videos. I've always wondered about this process and the reasons for it...now I know. Thank you for making such a great behind the scenes video!
Fascinating video. I'm really enjoying the green keeper's series.
Mid-late 90s I was contracted to do this on courses all over Scotland. I was about 22 and was as far up north as doon rae, I did a few miles over Scotland that year.. I enjoyed it
Nice to see a fellow greenkeeper doing these type of videos👏🏼
Fascinating. Never seen them actually hollow tining. Amazed by how much it fetches out of the green
Great vlog today. I always see those lines on the green this time of year but didn't know what they actually did. Great day for golf here in Canada, sunny and 75 degrees. I am going out to play in a couple of hours at my favorite course, a beautiful Donald Ross course!
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent video Liam, really interesting all of the work that goes into our greens.
Big shout out to Dave and his team. Top work.👍
Nice comprehensive overview ! Mole plowing is something new. Makes a lot of sense. Really neat considering what's actually happening.
Absolutely tremendous - thought I understood why it was necessary but didn't know the half of it. Gave me a renewed respect for the GKs.
I hope we all appreciate how difficult it is to maintain coarse
Liam, the best explanation of what it takes to keep things looking good
Thanks
Amazing work by the greensmen and mostly unappreciated. Thanks for bringing some insight to their hard work and professionalism.
