  What I do every day
Unlike people’s lawns, golf courses need extra care and attention to look flawless. This means I do more than just mow, water, and fertilize the grass. I make sure the underlying soil drains properly and contains the right nutrients to support the turf used on the course. To keep the game interesting and eliminate uneven wear of the turf, I periodically relocate the holes on the putting greens. Sometimes I harvest sod and replant it elsewhere to keep the course looking perfect. Repairing and painting canopies, benches, golf ball washers, and tee markers is also part of my job.
