Training

Training is a crucial step in successful golf course management. Operating mowers, carts, tractors and other heavy machinery can be dangerous if not trained properly.

Safety is always the main concern when caring for the turf.

This week we are training the trainers. This is an exercise where all supervisors train each other on every job. This way whoever trains a new employee, they are trained the same way. This equals consistent results on the golf course. We are focusing on all of the steps to mowing greens, tees, fairways, roughs, raking bunkers and even how we pick up trash around the property.

In a seasonal location such as Denver, it is rare to have the same staff of greenskeepers year to year. There are many different ways to mow and manage turf. Everyone picks up a new idea along their career. Getting those ideas together is a win-win for everyone.
