      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. 😊

    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

    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
      @fairwayjohn6336  Před 3 lety

      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.

  • @cardplayer85
    @cardplayer85 Před 3 lety

    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
      @fairwayjohn6336  Před 3 lety

      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.

    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
      @fairwayjohn6336  Před 3 lety +1

      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. 👊
