Golf “
Our work schedule was pretty hectic, working twelve days on, two days off, starting at 6.00 in the morning, finishing at the earliest 5.00 in the evening

same greens. I was lucky enough to have what I think is one of the most beautiful holes on the golf course - the 13th - so the view looking out over Lake Manassas was gorgeous - but the signature hole, and the most famous, is the 11th. As you have probably realised by now, our
work schedule was pretty hectic, working twelve days on, two days off, starting at 6.00 in the morning, finishing at the earliest 5.00 in the evening, with the exception of a few days where we might finish at 8.00, 9.00 or even 10.00 at night, depending on what had
to be done that day. But, in the American turf industry, this is called the American dream; your co-workers are your family, you see them more than anyone else and, to be honest, I wouldn’t have changed it for the world. I was lucky enough to have worked with a great bunch of people. Our most craziest time, in my opinion, was
aeration week. During this period, we worked from 6.00am until 9.30pm. We aerated greens, approaches, tees and solid tined fairways and rough, along with fertilising and topdressing everything after.
The course was closed for five days, so we knew we were on a time limit to get everything done, and we did, as a team. We were left with a great sense of accomplishment. We also got to experience crazy ‘eighty- people’ shotgun start tournaments; comprising two members, a tournament member and a guest, and nothing like what you expect, with green speeds reaching double figures - in the high teens. Anything lower was not accepted. It wasn’t always work and no play, thanks
