- I WORKED AS A GREENKEEPER DURING GREENS MAINTENANCE! MY NEW JOB?! We all moan about golf courses, about greenskeepers and green staff, especially during maintenance week. Holo Tyne greens or spiked greens as some people like to call it and sanded greens is everyones worse nightmare, but the boys at Woolley Park Golf club wanted me to see exactly how they do it... and why they do it... lets do it... and lets do it now!

I’m a greenkeeper.. and I’m so happy that you have gone behind the scenes to work along side us and show other golfers what goes on and why we do it. Great video James and John 👍🏻
Thanks buddy appreciate that
I'm too
I've just gone back to work as a greenskeeper at the age of 64 after 4 years of retirement and 43 years working in aerospace engineering before that. I've never physically worked so hard in my life, but it's very satisfying and great exercise. I'll be out in the rain tomorrow morning at 5.30 changing all 18 pin locations.
Its good to see what goes into how they maintain those lovely greens we all love ti play on fantastic James 🏌️⛳👍💯
Thanks Mark! 🤙🏼⛳️
Didn’t realise how much work goes into keeping greens so good, nice one james great video
Me either! Or I wouldn’t have said yes! Haha
James Robinson Golf lol haven’t seen you so quiet when you were on the machine, nice work though mate
no shit
Just make sure you wash down after you get off the course, and don't put anything near your face that's come in contact with the grass. Most pro golfers and superintendents suffer from debilitating illnesses due to extended exposure to pesticides, or worse such as cancer.
I don't think most golfers realize the amount of work that goes into a well-kept course. Nice insight for the uninitiated. Thanks, James.
Excellent! Part-time maintenance staff at Indian Hills in Murfreesboro, TN for over 20 years. Had many of those maintenance weeks in years gone by.
Excellent insight into how the green keepers keep our courses as good as can be. Thank you to all the Green keepers in the world your work is really appreciated 👏👏👏👍👍
I'm a greenkeeper.......and I love it.......especially when the suns out
I’m 19 and thinking of becoming a greenskeeper. Iv been golfing my entire life and for a year and a half now Iv been working at a GC. I really like getting up In the morning and seeing the sun rise as you are out on a beautiful course with the dew on the grass and the clear air!
It is the best job in the world in fairness
Diarmuid I’m thinking about going to penn state for turf-grass science. And becoming a superintendent. You recommend it?
Matt 476 if you’re prepared to work hard, go for it!
I’m a greenkeeper in Leeds, best job ever! Also played here at Woolley park and will be returning deffinatly!
Very interesting to see why when we play and the greens are spiked, why they are and what it does to the greens. Thank you James for this video! nice to see the work being done so we can play on fabulous greens!
Core aeration. Not spiked...
i really enjoyed this did not realize how much work went into the process of keeping greens playable. Thanks james.
Like your videos. I worked on a golf course maintenance crew all through high school here in the States. I did it to get my golf for free and it was great experience and I learned alot about taking care of grass. Now 30 years later it still spills into my lawn maintenance program.
🔥🔥
This was maybe the most interesting golf video I've ever watched and I did watch the whole video. Your videos have always been great but this one was the top one. It gave me insight into what actually goes into the maintenance at a golf course and I will never again complain about how the greens are being worked on. Thanks.
Great video to show the work the greenkeepers do to let us enjoy the game of golf. A lot of work goes in and as you said they're not always appreciated for their hard work.
Great to see the amount of work that goes into the greens, always appreciate the work the guys do at my club but even more now!!
🔥🔥🔥
A great video. Nice to see a different type of golf related content. Thanks James (and green keepers).
Great in depth explanation of what is done and why. I hope those that complain all the time about greens maintenance now have a better understanding of it.
Excellent vlog - more people need to realise what really goes into the making of a quality golf course and appreciate it.
Replacing divots and mending pitch marks make a big difference!!💪👌👍🙂🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Great video...nice to see all the hard work that goes into keeping the courses we play in the best condition
Nice to see what goes into keeping courses looking great!
I absolutely loved this video. I do this for homeowners and my hats off to all greens keepers and superintendents everywhere!!
Definitely do more of these once we’re back up and running. Love seeing course maintenance. Always kept my eye on what they do then copy it on my lawn as best I can. My neighbours think I know what I’m doing when they see me top dressing!
Thanks James & the maintenance staff for a good presentation for what goes into golf course maintenance. It's a heck of a lot of work & perhaps many of us will be much more appreciative of what goes on & not complain so much it we see an imperfection.
Excellent, luv the insight into ground maintenance!
Good video, let's hope we get a chance to admire all the hard word the green staff put in before the summer ends. Say safe & sane everry one
Great video James - and the boys. I learnt a lot. Dogs were brilliant extras!
James.
We appreciate you and all you do brother. The work and time you put into your videos and your awesome attitude.
This was a great video to show people what happens behind the scenes of a golf course to show people how those awesome conditions of a course actsiolt become that way! Great job!
Absolutely Fantastic work James. Great staff there taking great care of that course. Thanks for the insight, it's appreciated from my perspective as well. I am heading into my second year as a member of the Grounds Crew for a local course. It will be my full-time retirement job in a few years!!!
Yes James , it gives us as golfer a new perspective of what goes into keeping the course in tip top shape giving us a better experience playing a round⛳🏌️♂️
Great vid James. Can't wait to get back out on the course. The greens and fairways should be fantastic after the rest they have had. Keep safe everyone
Much appreciated, great content, teamwork and banter, can't beat it!
Thanks David! Stay safe mate!
Really interesting. Thanks for showing this side of golf.
More than welcome mate
Tough work isn't it James that's what I do for a living. Love it
Great insight into the work involved in maintaining a green - I’ve certainly learnt from this. Great content James, I know it’s going to be difficult to keep coming up with interesting videos.
Great vid. The greens at Woolley are incredible. Thanks for all the great work you lads put in! Can’t wait to get back and 3stab!
Best job I ever had . Straight out a school . Loved it. Apart from the hand held hollow core device , what made ye, valuable lessons learned. Great 3 & half years.
It’s cool to see a golfer who appreciates the work that goes into maintaining the course, many don’t
Couldn’t agree more
really enjoyed this vid. I really appreciate green keepers and have watched loads of these style vids on youtube :). well done lads keep up the good work
Thanks David!!
Great insight into green keepings, you're right us gofers don't realise how much work it is well done to the Woolley green staff 👍🤗
Really interesting video. Gives a better understanding of the hard work that the team put in.
Great vid man it's always good to see just exactly how much work goes into making a course beautiful.
A most interesting video on things that go on behind the scenes on a golf course. When out playing you see the green keepers out there doing their work to keep the course up to scratch. Took the opportunity a few weeks ago to watch the hollow tine machine being used
and thought that's going to take some time to get the green back in shape, hardly know its been done now. The green keepers say its going to be hard work to get it how they'd like it to be after the last winter we've had. About time Brad's second fitting video was shown.
Love this, great to see what goes on in maintaining our courses
Green keepers do an amazing job and when you get a awesome one at your club look after them
Cracking video James and many thanks for sharing it with us
Thanks TT!!!
great vlog James one of the better ones you have done, because that is proper work and dedication to please the paying golfers. it is good to see the other side of golf, you should do more. hats off to all the ground staff
Great video James, good to see a behind the scene of what the green keepers do to make the courses great. Defo going to get a day in at Wooly park when this is all over
Great video good green keeps are worth the money they make and more. Glad you did this video most golfers may not understand why things are done.
That was a great idea for a video Jimmy. Thanks.
That’s a great video on the work that goes in to preparing a good course. People are so quick to complain.
Absolutely Daniel!!
I work at whitensville golf club and we have 2 days to plug and top dress fairways, greens, T's. Long days but its always a good time good with a good crew of guys. Awsome job!
Enjoyed the video! Behind the scenes of greens keeping 👌
Nice video. Good to see what the green staff do. Very informative.
Great video mate, I was a greens assistant as teenager it was my first real job and I loved it. This could be a little bit of a series? Pop in and spend a day with the guys once every few weeks (or when they do a big job) I think a lot of golfers could benefit hugely from seeing the work that goes into maintaining a golf course.
I loved this video James. I have always watched/moaned at our green keepers doing this from time to time and wondered what went into it. Thanks for this mate 👍
What an amazing video, fascinating to see what goes on to keep the Green’s looking and playing well.
Amazing video! Just goes to show what is needed and how much effort goes into making a maintaining a decent golf course!
This was great video James very informative and great to see the other side of the business. Thank you!
Thank you! Very educational! I learned alot in your Video and saw all of it on my local course...now I know how long it takes for the greens to repair from those holes
Nice on James. I'm off to work on my short game today, in my back garden! All the best mate and stay safe as they say.
My dream job..... I love turf science and grass. Sadly I love looking after my own lawn. Great job, greens are so hard to maintain. Nice to hear about the turf nursery, a course I used to play on contaminated the greens with some sand that had oil in it. The sand was kept in ton bags on the warehouse floor, the roof leaked, the floor got wet, the oil soaked in to the sand. They spread it on the greens and it killed 2 of the greens. They had no turf nursery!
Always enjoyed golf but I never realized how much attention to detail and amount of work these greenskeepers put in until I decided to put one in at my house. It’s real not that easy to get a nice looking green. Nice job boys!!
A great insight into what it takes to keep our courses looking their best ⛳
Great video, love seeing the work that goes into a course
awesome content, and didn't realise how much goes in to painting the greens, hats of to the green-keepers
Very educational James... great idea to show us what goes into maintaining a green. Just hope we can get out and play on some before the clocks change back :(
Great content. Gives us golfers an idea of what goes on behind the scenes. Respect to these guys, especially in the colder months 🙌🏼
Great video. Something different and really educational for golfers. Well done!
Nice to see a side of the course you dont normally get to see and a bit of a different video really enjoyed it
Brilliant James, great to see what goes on and learn why the Greenkeepers do what they do!
Awesome video James. Great group of guys, interesting stuff, thanks.
Thanks!
Never thought I would enjoy the video, but it was really interesting and entertaining. Probably helps that the greenkeeper also has a sense of humour and patience. Really great video.
James what a fantastic video a real insight into what steps it takes to keep greens in good condition. Maybe your back garden could do with a little prep 😂😂😂😂 stay safe 👍🏻
Hey Hey really enjoyed the vid
I am currently studying Greenkeeping at African Turf Academy in South Africa!!!
Please tell the club if they have a job opening I will come work For them!!!!!!!
Again awesome video for teaching people what happens when they are not there.
Interesting to see the techniques that very from over the pond. I’ve never seen throwing seed after pro coring and top dressing.
James that was really interesting, I was on my clubs greens committee back in the 80s in South Africa and it just shows how times and methods have changed in that time.
I really enjoyed this video James! It's great to see how it all comes together!
Loved this video. Very informative.
This is a great video James pal!! I've always said just how valuable the green staff are at any golf course. It's like, I've a golf club has a lower than average hospitality team, or a lower than average pro etc you'd just about get away with it. Would Not get away with a poor grounds team, they really are the back bone. Nice to see a bit of appreciation for them
That was bloody fascinating! 👍
Have a greater appreciation what goes into the upkeep of the greens at my golf club, thanks
Thanks for making this video. It helps the players and community better undestand our duties as ground keepers...
That’s a great video mate! So many people moan about conditions and green fees etc but you look at the work gone into that one green! Can’t wait to get on that course again when we’re allowed! Brilliant 👍🏻🏌️♂️
Couldn’t agree more Russ!
James Robinson Golf are you applying your new skills to your back garden course? 🤔
Russ Garbutt I don’t have the machinery but I’ve learnt a lot!
James Robinson Golf just get an apple corer and some seeds! Dog will give you a hand won’t it! 🤣
Absolutely loved that. It’s nice to see how the green keepers keep the greens in check. Bet it’s a long day from start to finish tho.
Great video mate something we all take for granted and never give a second thought unsung heroes 👏👏👏
Love the dogs supervising all your hard work. Greenskeeping seems like tuff work
A new understanding of the work performed for the golfing world. I think longer handles on the plug shovels might be beneficial for the back.
Thanks James really enjoyed watching this video. 👏👏
🔥🔥🔥
Brilliant video. Very informative. Cheers. 👍👍👍
Super cool - the little dog is a riot! This is a must watch for golfers - maybe they would be more inclined to repair ball marks - correctly (push them in towards the center and not pry up the center.)
Should be more of these types of videos watching what the Greenkeepers do. The more we are told the more I would appreciate what the Greenkeeping staff do. Knew they worked hard and had a lot to do, but hadn't the faintest idea its was so much. As ever James a really enjoyable video !
Excellent video we should all know how hard our green keepers work and what they do for us 👍
Incredible video!!!!! All that work just for 1 green. I'm glad I'm not a complainer when the greens are aerated...lol Thank you to all the Greens Keepers for all their hard work!!!!
Great video james, hope this makes people appreciate the work and effort that greenkeepers put into a golf course👍🏻
🔥⛳️
Great content! Glad you had some material saved up ahead of the social distancing. Stay well!
Cool video James, much enjoyed!
I really enjoyed this one! Thank you for doing it.
very good content. would like more of these kinds. see if you can film when they fix bunkers and water hazards or other kind of important work we know little about. also film what other staff do, like reception restaurant etc. always interesting to see what's going on behind the curtains for us to have a nice course to play. all staff need respect and greet.
Loved that vid every golfer should go out with green keepers every now and then and see y they do shat they do to make the green and cores do nice
Great video, as an ex greenkeeper, nice to see all the processes and graft that goes into refurb for people to see
Thanks Roger! Hope your well mate
Wow... loved this one James 👍
Me too mate!
What a great instructional video, James. Always thought greenkeepers were there, like mosquitoes, to buzz in your ear and annoy you. I am really impressed by the work they do. If not for you videos I wouldn't have known!
