A greenskeeper is the person responsible for the care and care of the golf course or the surface of a sports game.

Description and tasks
A professional who maintains a golf course or country club. This includes all cultural practices along with pin settings and marks the dangers to playing regular clubs along with tournament play. Greenskeepers works under the direction of the Golf Course Superintendent or the Field Golf Operations Director. For a greenskeeper, it is more important to have experience and abilities than formal education.
Measure green speed with stimpmeter
Greenskeepers measured golf "spacer" speed with a stimpmeter. Stimpmeter is used to compare the green speed inside the facility to ensure consistency. Stimmeter readings should not be used to compare one facility with another; many factors, including design, undulation and the type of grass affect the green speed. This tool measures how fast the green color allows the golf ball to travel. Greenskeeper can increase the green speed by cutting shorter grasses, cutting more than once in various directions, or by polishing green with a bit of fine sand to change the surface of the putting.
Responsibility for setting the pin to play
Arranging pins and tee markers is one piece of work that is different from the work of other gardener and horticulture experts. Otherwise, most of the loading tasks are almost identical.
Many people who have played golf know that holes and pins (flags) on the green are routinely moved. When setting or moving pins on the green, a greenskeeper should think of all these factors together.
- The pin location will affect the difficulty of the golf course.
- Green grass in green golf wears and tears around the putting hole.
- Pin and holes can not be legally placed anywhere in the green.
In most cases, the greenskeeper that governs the green pin also moves and sets the tee marker. The tee marker is a piece that sticks to the ground marking the line from which to tee-off or hit a golf ball. If greenskeeper moves all tee markers to the back of the tee and then, in addition, removes all holes and pins to the rear of the green, the total accumulation of yards to cover will increase drastically.
Almost every golf course is measured and ranked according to distance/distance. Therefore, it is wise to keep an accumulative long distance to play everyday close to the rankings for the course. There is no total number of yards to guide the gardener for every day of the moving pin. It calls the appraisal, approximate.
A course should be measured from the medal plate (the furthest possible distance in each hole, minus about 2 meters from the back of the tee to allow the backswing) from the tee to the green golf center following the fairways center. The actual distance from the hole may be slightly longer, with a pin on the back of the green, but the golfer should check the scoreboard or stroke-saver to find the depth of green to help the club selection.
If greenskeeper puts up some green golf pins behind the green center, it's logical and sensible to set some other green pin in front of the green center, on the fairway side.
In the same way - it does not refer to the size of the yard - some pins should be placed on the left green, some on the right, and some in the middle in terms of placement left and right.
For general daily golfing, some pin placement should be easy, some medium and some difficult. The closer the pin to the fairway does not mean the shot is easier, especially if there is a bunker (sand trap) immediately in front of the green. In this case, the back of the green may be easier pin placement even though the distance is larger.
Studying the golf course layout helps arrange the pins and tee markers. If all tee markers and green pins are set to the right, it will bring the tree on the right side into the game. If all tee markers and green pins are set to the left, which brings the tree to the left into the play.
The trees on the left, and the trees on the right, affect different players. Some players "SLICE" the ball to the right. Some golfers "KAIT" golf balls to the left. A piece or a hook is when the curve of the ball curve after being hit.
Because some players may chronically hit the ball to the left or right, it is only fair to give almost the same advantage to each player. So greenskeeper must bring the trees into the game both from the right and left tee, fairways and green. It is controlled by the setting and position of the tees markers, golf, green holes, and pins.
As much as possible, pins must be set upright or "PLUMB". The plumb is at 90 degrees to a level or horizontal plane. Golf green pins should not be perpendicular to the green surface because the green surface is usually uneven. If the pin is set at a 90-degree angle to what we consider to be a "level line", then the golfer can look down the fairway and see how drastically or slightly the green surface deviates from the flat surface.
Putting pins is done by "taste" and experience. Typically, greenskeeper allows the weight of the dangling cup cutter so that gravity makes it vertical and perpendicular. Then greenskeeper turns the handle to slice the round cylinder cut to green while trying to keep the tool in a vertical position. After the tool is cut, it lifts the cylinder core out of the new hole. The core of this soil is stored to repair the old or previous hole after the cup is caught and lifted. After the old hole is plugged with soil and grass core, greenskeeper puts the cup into a new hole.
The greenskeeper then sets the round gadget called the cup-setter to the cup and presses it down. This sets the top of the cup below the green surface to about 1 "according to the golf standard.If the cup is located too high, the golf ball can roll over the hole and up on the edge of the cup, then roll back.set the cup correctly, the ball must remain in the hole green golf.
Since the green is worn around the holes of the putting and play daily, the location of the new green pin should be placed at least 12 'to 20' from the previous one. Wearing can mean moving a green pin every day during golf in the summer. In summer, if the pins are left in the same place for several days, the grass can practically be destroyed.
It's okay to put a golf hole on the slope. If the ball is bent up toward the golf hole and pin, if the ball stops rolling up the hill before entering the hole, the ball must stop in place and not roll back down again. If the ball is hit uphill and then rolled down the slope, the slope is too steep for the placement of the golf pin.
Various tournaments, men's clubs and women's clubs may have their rules, but in general, green golf pins should not be placed closer to the edge of green golf than about 8 'to 10'.
Right path
Never hit the ball to green when the greenskeeper is there unless they obviously move for you to do so. Generally, golfers have the right to walk on the golf course, and workers will wait or give up on the players. But if greenskeeper is in green, and pin out, they have the right way.
