Went to the driving range a couple days ago and nailed the ball retrieving cart real good. Prettttty proud of myself
that's the only thing I would aim at
how on earth is this video in my yt feed
the better question is... why did i watch it?
Spencer Minyo these are both very true questions
as a kid i loved hitting the golf ball picker great times
Why did you stop?
I had to do a picker without any protection. Idk why I did it but it was terrifying.
@@nathanchurch8934 id wear a helmet
azans number 1 fan ur reAlly smart
As an adult I find it more hilarious with more power comes more enjoyment I picture the ball forcing itself between the small holes and knocking the guy out cold
5:22 That one yellow ball!
😂
I was looking for this comment. Why? Why leave it in there? Heathens.
"nice straight lines" drives circle... what about straight line was not clear to you.
He's a f'ing divet head 'reaper!
Did anyone see the odd ball out, pause on 5:22 my OCD triggers
When I retire I would do that job just to keep busy
Who doesn't remember as a kid the first time at the range.....this is what made your day if you were able to hit the range attendant....I still know plenty of adults that still love to do this.
That thing looks,like fun!
Michael Zeleznik it gets old
ur right about that lol i do it like 3 hours straight :(
Michael Zeleznik
Michael Zeleznik true
Michael Zeleznik i
one of the most chill jobs just get some good headphones and boom your set
it gets old quickly.
AceInHD I work a course, it's nice somedays but when you have headphones on for 8+ hours a day. You tend to exhaust your listening material very quickly. Although picking the range is a lot nicer than some of the jobs I have to do at work.
At my work we're not allowed to use headphones in the picker incase someone calls for us on the radio.
U cant forget a little weed to smoke or a vape pen. Then your good to go on picking range balks
Trust me, not fun.
No one:
2019 RUclips recommendations: watch this dude get balls hit at him
No 2020

1:06 lovely shank
Lmao. It was exquisite.
I worked as a GSA at whistling straits. Such a fun job working at a golf course! Really miss it
In the winter in AZ I work at a golf course and it honestly is the best job I’ve ever had… the people are nice and if they are a little tipsy they tip very well.
I don't know how but here I am. These recommendations keep on recommending
As a teenager I had this job...one thing I will say is you don't know fear till your out about 100 yards out and someone hits your windshield and that plexiglass breaks. Then those guys still hit balls at you and your just praying that you can get off to the side without getting hit!
What a nice looking facility for the city.
Edina is great for this!! love it!
i've done manual picking at a 'chipping' range where i was also a caddy
Respect to your workers sir.
I played at this golf course a few weeks ago and it was pretty nice
5:38
Him: "What a great place, what a great venue to hit balls."
Me: Hehe
thanks pat
At San Bruno Golf Center they have pipes that send the balls to the 4 range servants they have 2 for the top decks and two for the bottom deck.
I built a water powered hammer called a
“Monjolo”. I started by making a water spout from half a hollow log to
direct water from the creek. This was set up in the creek and water
flowed through it. The hammer was made from a fallen tree. I cut it to
size by burning it at the points I wanted it cut (to save effort
chopping). Next I carved a trough in one end to catch falling water.
This was done first with a stone chisel that was then hafted to an
L-shaped handle and used as an adze. This adze only took about an hour
to make as I already had the chisel head and cordage made of bark fibre
to bind it with.
To save further effort carving I used hot coals from the fire to char
the wood in the trough. I put the coals in using “chopsticks” (unused
arrow shafts) to transfer them from the pit. The coals were fanned or
blown with a wooden blowpipe till the wood in the trough burned. Then
the char was scraped out. The sides of the trough were sealed with clay
to make sure the wooden sides did not burn away which would effectively
decrease the volume of the trough. This was approximately 8 hours work
over two days.
With the trough carved I made a hole in the middle of the log as a
pivot point. Using the same char and scrape method I burnt a hole right
through the log using hot coals and a blow pipe. Again clay was used to
prevent wood burning where it was wanted. To burn through the
approximately 25 cm diameter log it took about 4 hours and 30 minutes.
Another hole was burnt in the end to fit the wooden hammer head and it
took a similar amount of time.
A tripod lashed with loya cane was set up at the water spout. The
axel of the hammer was tied to one leg, the hammer fitted onto the axel
and the other end of the axel tied to another leg. The trough was
positioned under the waterspout to collect water and the tripod adjusted
so that the resting point of the hammer was horizontal (so water
wouldn’t prematurely spill out of the trough).
The trough filled with water, outweighed the hammer head and tilted
the hammer up into the air. The water then emptied out of the trough
(now slanting downwards) and the hammer then slammed down onto an anvil
stone returning to its original position. The cycle then repeated at the
approximate rate of one strike every 10 seconds. The hammer crushes
small soft types of stone like sandstone or ochre. I carved a bowl into
the anvil stone so that it would collect the powder. I then crushed old
pottery (useful as grog for new pots) and charcoal. Practically
speaking, this hammer worked ok as a proof of concept but I might adjust
it or make a new one with a larger trough and bigger hammer for heavy
duty work.
This is the first machine I’ve built using primitive technology that
produces work without human effort. Falling water replaces human
calories to perform a repetitive task. A permanent set up usually has a
shed protecting the hammer and materials from the weather while the
trough end sits outside under the spout. This type of hammer is used to
pulverise grain into flour and I thought I might use one to mill dry
cassava chips into flour when the garden matures. This device has also
been used to crush clay for porcelain production. A stone head might
make it useful as a stamp mill for crushing ores to powder. It might
pulp fibres for paper even.
Why?
I used to do this! Super fun job. A couple different things though from the range I worked at. We had an actual golf cart attached to the picker, not just a tractor/mower type thing. And we were allowed to drive it when it was wet outside - just not up and down any hills.
sounds like where I work lol
Every time I go to the rang it’s those cart driving and I alway try to hit it it’s pretty fun
dude i wish my city had a youtube
What?
In Japan, we have slanted slopes so any balls in any distance will roll to collectors! (Except the ones like chipping distance away, they get picked up manually!)
This channel is sooooo underated
Are the range balls used here (no water, no floaters) go as far as a regular golf ball?
My favorite part of the job working at Langdon farms 15 years ago.
I'd love for you to show me whoever that is using the gold light refraction sheet fired... other than that very professional and en"light"ening video! xD
Did anyone see that odd ball out pause on 5:22
Lmao. "That's exactly what they're gonna do!" Lmao
Hello! Please tell me the name of this contest? what is the name of such a structure as on video. I do not understand this is some kind of golf? when do people just hit the distance?
You could tell he was so excited to operate that tractor thing lol
im 15 and work also as a driving range attendant but we got a john deere gator to pick the bals up it way better
I have stuff for school to do but instead im watching this
MrCar,
You'll be driving the golf ball picker in no time!! They'll love your eight year liberal arts college diploma in underwater fire prevention!
Man, if i was there i would literally aim for that vehicle :D
I just got a call back from a golf course for a job and have an interview in the morning. I have a feeling that the hand picker is gonna be the worst lol
how did it go?
hahaha 😂 you can see all the dents in the picker from people wacking balls at it
I,d do it on purpose
So where can you do that job because it look fun and I love to drive stuff
Kendell Nguyen literally a million other jobs require driving and it literally says where it is
this is July, I'd kill for it to be summer. i do this as well and can get about 15 cans in a matter of two hours.
RUclips recommended me this which is scary because I was a range attendant in 2016 like wtf
My mans is too excited for this
Have you picked up a club in the last year?!
That explains the random selection process.
What state?
Why does the bucket it’s not like there going to get stuck 4:15
What brand is the buggy
GIGI PUG_SPARKLES does it really matter
it pisses me off so much that the picker doesn't get all of the balls it drives over
Paulie yeah where I play our picker kinda sucks it misses so many
it’s about the driver
You can go out and follow it and pick them by hand then.
yeah it's so annoying
M. H. you clearly have never driven one of these. When they’re old or damaged, they can miss a bunch.
Show us how to be a City Manager.
lamo
I thought this video was about how they collect chicken eggs.
Working at a golf range or golf course must so cool and fun to work at looks like I would say a job that I would like to do
5:40 tries to steal all the credit for all the paper pushin he did😆 get back in the office, Mr Keyboard! Labor doesn’t even compute with you😆
cleaner version of dirty jobs 😂
It would be very hard to drive one of those ball picker machines because I would struggle to steer the machine around the driving range if I learned how to drive one of those machines. Also I would be terrified of the balls hitting the picker machine when I'm inside and smash the glass out.
Wonder what the prevailing wage is for a golf ball picker...
I love the woman at the 1:07 mark in the red blouse...... She hits a dead shank, and follows through like it's right down the middle....😆
Subscribed. I live 1200 miles away. But subscribed.
Whats more impressive is seeing the golf balls 2 feet away from the tee box.
i thought he had like 1M not 1K
Nobody:
Absolutely nobody:
EdinaTv: lets make a video about an hard working driving range attendant
great
Everyone loves when the tractor comes out target practice
That would be perfect summer job
I picked for a year, our surface was full of potholes and bumps due to rain. Would love to pick on grass all we had was dirt and had to wear masks Haha. Glad I'm maintenance now. Actually feel good after a days work. And get to play with little duckies
How old do you have to be to do this?
I would do that but I would make it more entertaining with a funny uniform and funny paint job lol
And a small bulls eye to get a free bucket of balls!
I’m a golf range attendant. Why did I watch this
Another one of those random videos that pop up on your feed 4 years after they are posted even though you’ve never watched anything somewhat closely related to the topic.
He dumped golf balls in the machine just to get them put back in 😂🤣🤣😂
Where is Edina?
My question is is if they continue to hit the balls why would they use hand pickers
2019?????
Is this a city-owned range?
Bit like brooks showing Andy around the library in shawshank
I always aim to hit the ball in the exhasut pipe. but im not very good
omg... the course I worked at over the summer (kinda crappy), was just a golf cart with a ball picker upper attached to the front of it😂... talk about low budget...
This is a fun job! I could get used to this job.
They're called cart boys on my course
I prefer "cart jockey"
This was recommended to me from Chelsea 2016/17 champions???? wtf
Go blues!
I was they for a golf tournament it is a nice couse
I could see myself doing this for a living
I work at a golf course and I do this apart of my job lol
Benny Malykin ha ha so funny 😐
Is it Edina Minnesota?
I am pretty sure it is
Every

I
Need
Attention
That’s what Edina stands for
5:15 you gotta make sure you get those ghost balls out also.
Is this the male version of leslie knope?
