GREENSKEEPER

Greenskeeper

A professional who maintains a golf course or country club's grounds. This includes all cultural practices along with setting of pins and marking of hazards for regular club play along with tournament play. Greenskeepers work under the direction of the Golf Course Superintendent or Director of Golf Course Operations. A detailed knowledge of agronomy, plant pathology, entomology, chemistry, and soil science is a necessity that sets greenskeepers apart from the regular grounds crew, and requires a college degree in agricultural or environmental sciences at higher end golf clubs. Other responsibilities include the art of tracking and obtaining gophers, as depicted in the movie Caddyshack.
