**Ask a golf course employee**

[nehianh]

yes it is private.

during the summer there is one superintendent, an assistant, a gardener, a mechanic and then about 8 grounds laborers you could call them, i'm a laborer, not too sure but my guess is that at some public courses that may have a championship and executive course they may have more employees.

i've never learned to cut cups 1. because almost everyone else knows how and 2. i dont want to do that id rather cut grass.

pins are moved almost everyday depending on events at the course.

no groundhogs.

unfixed ball marks are our responsibility because the old superintendent who had been working at the course for some 40 years decided that the sand/seed mixture that was given to the memembers to fix their own divots was not working. so now we have to go out every other day and fill divots on fair ways by hand-second worst job behind weed whipping. there can be hundreds of divots over the course of the week as the course gets a lot of play.

from what i hear from other guys is that cutting cups is a good break from time to time but if you were to get stucking doing it for a week straight it gets old real fast.
