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.
