- Welcome back to the course! In this episode, we wake-up in a strange location prior to heading to the course. We get assignment to the debris team, and do our best to beautify the golf course. Thanks for watching!
I’m not sure why I find watching you work as a greenskeeper after a day of ME working as a greenkeeper so relaxing - but I do! You work in a beautiful spot! I’m working on a course build and we are hoping to open 9 holes next April. I hope we can get it to look as great as your course does by then!
Hi Anita! Lol, it’s funny how that works out. I do the same thing. Thanks so much for watching and all the best to you out on the course!
I love this guys content and attitude. Seriously, your videos are awesome, please keep the content coming! I work in the technical field and my stress level is often through the roof.. but your attitude teaches me to just calm down, enjoy every moment I can, and make the best out of everything. My second passion is managing turf at my house, I absolutely love it!
Hey John! I started working at a course this year and I’ve loved it ever since I started. I’ve been watching you for a bit and I just want to say keep up the amazing work and stay healthy
Thanks Ben! Good luck out there. Glad you love it so much.
Love those John Deere compact tractors…. In fact I’m running one in the morning as have got to put a fungicide down on the greens ! Great work as per usual sir….. 👍🏻🔧
Thanks! Good luck tmrw on the fungicide?
@@fairwayjohn6336 signs of fusarium outbreak on greens mate 👍🏻🔧
Oh man, that’s a bummer. That happens quite often in the North but we are lucky, down in Florida, to avoid it for the most part. Best of luck and I hope you guys can manage it.
I worked as a GCS in Florida for 25 years. Keep up the great work. Yes, every single piece that you picked makes a difference. I wish I had an entire crew with your work ethic.
Thanks Bradley! I appreciate the compliment. Congrats on your years in the business, that’s awesome. Feel free to impart your wisdom whenever you see fit. Thanks again for watching.
@@fairwayjohn6336 I will be happy to give you my two cents. You have a new subscriber!
Keep them coming
Thanks a lot Scott. I’ll do my best. Thanks a lot for watching!
I can't stop watching them
Thanks Dan, appreciate you watching!
John, any idea where I could get used parts for a John Deere 220C. I'm specifically looking for a groomer to add on to mine.
Course always looks awesome. You guys do a great job. 👍
Thanks…and obviously…thanks for always watching and commenting 👊
@@fairwayjohn6336 no need for thanking me for watching I really enjoy your videos. I have the jd4720 so nice to see the smaller version. I hope your hone is bug free soon and that you can return.
Love these videos!
Appreciate it Robert! I’m glad you enjoy them. Thanks for tuning in!
Love the videos
Thank you Nic!
You have the ads of someone who has a million subscribers recently John lol 🤣 , glad you got the ok to film there , one day a ball will go in the hole. You will get there not only in subs, but in those jobs usually kept for the more experienced. Just keep doing what you do and continue to be you mate,it will happen 👍👍👍
Thanks Gavin! Yea…I’m not sure how RUclips decides how many ads they put per video…I think I can mess with that so it doesn’t ruin the videos. And yes, I’m going to make a shot on camera one day!!! Lol. Thanks for all your support.
Hey, shout out from Buffalo, NY. Save those Callaway Supersofts you find for me! My fave! LOL
Lol. Will do! Good luck to the Bills this upcoming season! 👊
Just passed along video one of our managers shot during verti cut last year
Thanks a lot Gary! Sweet!!
Love the videos! Keep up the great work. Question: I’ve noticed you don’t wear safety boots (steel toe) is that common in USA? In Australia you have to wear all safety equipment by law.
It is common, I barraly ever wear steel toe on the course I work at
I don’t but plenty of people do. It’s the smart thing to do honestly. It’s not required for us though. Great question.
Not a good tan line that's left though when wearing safety boots, I think people try and guess what your job is when you go on holiday
Keep up the good work. Curious to see what they feed you for lunch over at the new club?
Thanks Andrew. I can definitely film some of the food for you. I showed a little bit in a few videos when I started on the new course but haven’t done so lately. Good idea!
Hey we used to use those same rollers worked awesome... And then changed to toros latest greenspros. Absolute crap
I am starting a job on a course in the Caribbean end of this month...
Ps...love your videos john but I liked the old music ....
Good luck Jeff! That’s awesome. Thanks for letting me know about the music! Noted!
❤️ commenting for the algorithm
Haha, thanks Henry! I don’t pretend to understand the algorithm but I certainly appreciate the effort!!
Can you show us the superintendent?
Probably not…😂
Course looks awesome. How often do y’all spray herbicides and which ones?
Everyday…depends on what portion of the course. Fairways are sprayed daily. A lot of products are designed to help the soul retain water. I can ask for specific names if you want.
@@fairwayjohn6336 sheeeeeeesh no wonder my lawn had weeds.
Hi John, I'm a new subscriber to your channel so forgive me if you've covered this topic already, I haven't watch ALL of your videos yet but I'm working on it. Really enjoying them and learning alot. I'm in the hiring process for a course here in North Central Florida so they're giving me an idea of what to expect on the job. I have a really basic question: What do you wear to work? Shorts or pants, long or short sleeves, a combination of both and do you wear sneakers or some type of work boot. I'm assuming the weather will be about the same here as in South Florida so looking for your input. Thanks man, keep up the good work. You're making starting a new job a lot less scary!
Hi Bob - good luck out there! You’re going to love it. I usually wear waterproof outdoor work pants (blue - to match course colors). I sometimes wear blue shorts. I’d recommend long sleeve, breathable shirt, steel toed shoes. Definitely sunglasses and a hat. NOW, the course might require you to wear a uniform so that might change things. But definitely bring sunglasses, hat, water jug. Good luck!!!
@@fairwayjohn6336 Thanks brother!
I just got to the video where you answered my question already... You da man!
Hey John, wondering why you don’t use a large stainless RTIC cup for your water?
I should…I have in the past but I magically lose them. You’re right though. I’m pretty much the only one that doesn’t carry their own fluid container.
@@fairwayjohn6336 I’ve found you can buy cheap ones on Amazon that work pretty darn good and keep the ice and water cold for
Hours. I play golf after 12 three days a week in the Sarasota area and it keeps the ice and water really cold for up to 6 hours. Don’t need to
Be name brand
Are you still doing videos
Why do you have mulch and pine straw,is there any rhyme or reason, cos i saw some landscape beds and tree rings have pine straw others have mulch, why is that?
No reason…I believe they are shifting everything toward that reddish-mulch you see. Thanks for the question (and for watching).
@@fairwayjohn6336 what is that, is there any advantage mulch has over straw, or it's personal?
I’ve had to spray (RoundUp) to kill weeds in both pine straw beds and mulch beds. In my opinion, the mulch does a waaaaay better job preventing weeds than the pine straw. So maybe that’s why the Super is making the transition?
