I worked on a golf course when I was young for a couple of years.


All our greens mowers were Toros with reels and grass catchers.

The greens mower was a 3 gang unit with hydraulics to raise and lower the reels. If a hydraulic line blew out on the green it would leave a skid mark that took a couple of weeks to repair.

We used to test the sharpness of the reels with newspaper.

We had a retired Baptist minister who used to sharpen the reels. He swore like a trooper at us if we hit a pebble on the green from a sand trap.

We had a retired guy who was our pinsetter. He would never play golf on Mondays with us when we were off. But he knew all the rules when it came to pinsetting.

He had his own Cushman 3 wheeler and that was his only job.


Members at the club on weekends would complain to where he set pins.

He'd say screw them if they can't hit a wedge.
