5 guys for the greens, that's our entire staff for the course haha...gotta love working for a city owned course. Quite the operation you guys have, wish we'd switch to the Toro's instead of the Jacobsens.
@@ryanmarshall3487 that's what we're finding out too. Our old superintendent could work on them but since he left looks like we're going to contract out with toro as the Jacobsen's break down
I worked construction 33 years. Once retired I landed a job at a very nice golf course. It's a lot of work but fun. Sometimes even the Caddy Shack vibe...lol!
4:19 Toro sidewinder. That was always my favorite mower to use. No emptying buckets with the rotary mower and striped awesome. Plus the joystick to slide the decks left or right was great. Bunker machine on the other hand… worst.
Shit constantly breaks! where I work for instance at 2:15 in the video they are careful to not hit the sprinkler head... We like to make sure there aerated as well!
Gets monotonous and the members like to complain all the time. It's not bad when you get to bounce around from task to task but if you're stuck on one task it gets boring quick.

Jacobsen is just complete rubbish equipment. Never once have I heard a good thing said about them.

Now that is the team you want to have or be on. I can only imagine the budget.
Looking good Brian.
Nice equipment. Good sized crew and even some pretty ladies working there. Man I'm at the wrong course!!
Can I apply for a job as a groundskeeper or park maintenance worker ???
I'm 40 years old man .
Looks like a great setup you guys have
Did they play this guitar music also? That would round out the skill-set
I'm gonna retire from 32 years of OTR driving in February 2022 and I want to become a grounds keeper...time to get off my ass
I’ve always wondered what it would it be like to be a groundskeeper!
