GCSAA has launched video training that will focus on basic concepts for crew members. The GCSAA Video Training Series offers 11 crew-based videos on topics such as cup cutting, greens mowing and general introduction to a golf course. The videos are available for free on gcsaa.org exclusively for GCSAA members.
The video topics include:
- Crew Etiquette
- Cup Cutting
- This is a Golf Course
- Tee Service
- Greens Mowing
- Walk Behind Greens Mowing
- Safety Basics
- Handheld Equipment
- Bunker Maintenance
- Hand Watering
- Ride-on Equipment
The videos were developed based on requests from members and are part of GCSAA’s workforce development programs to help superintendents attract, train and retain employees. Spanish- and French-language versions will be available later this summer. “There is high demand for crew training information as finding and keeping qualified labor continues to be a challenge for the golf course management industry,” GCSAA CEO Rhett Evans said. “We are proud to offer the GCSAA Video Training Series as a tool for our members to use in teaching their teams golf course management basics.Additional series are planned for future release to provide superintendents a robust catalogue of content helpful to developing skilled employees.The videos are available for free on gcsaa.org exclusively for GCSAA members.
