On The Job - Driving Range Attendant - July 2016 

how on earth is this video in my yt feed

as a kid i loved hitting the golf ball picker great times

"nice straight lines" drives circle... what about straight line was not clear to you.

Went to the driving range a couple days ago and nailed the ball retrieving cart real good. Prettttty proud of myself

5:22 That one yellow ball!

Did anyone see the odd ball out, pause on 5:22 my OCD triggers

When I retire I would do that job just to keep busy

No one: 2019 RU-vid recommendations: watch this dude get balls hit at him

That thing looks,like fun!

one of the most chill jobs just get some good headphones and boom your set

I thought this video was about how they collect chicken eggs.

1:06 lovely shank

5:40 tries to steal all the credit for all the paper pushin he did😆 get back in the office, Mr Keyboard! Labor doesn’t even compute with you😆

hahaha 😂 you can see all the dents in the picker from people wacking balls at it

5:38 Him: "What a great place, what a great venue to hit balls." Me: Hehe

dude i wish my city had a youtube

cleaner version of dirty jobs 😂

Did anyone see that odd ball out pause on 5:22

it pisses me off so much that the picker doesn't get all of the balls it drives over

Show us how to be a City Manager.

Who doesn't remember as a kid the first time at the range.....this is what made your day if you were able to hit the range attendant....I still know plenty of adults that still love to do this.

As a teenager I had this job...one thing I will say is you don't know fear till your out about 100 yards out and someone hits your windshield and that plexiglass breaks. Then those guys still hit balls at you and your just praying that you can get off to the side without getting hit!

i've done manual picking at a 'chipping' range where i was also a caddy

i thought he had like 1M not 1K

great zombie car to use.

RU-vid recommended me this which is scary because I was a range attendant in 2016 like wtf

Another one of those random videos that pop up on your feed 4 years after they are posted even though you’ve never watched anything somewhat closely related to the topic.

I’m a golf range attendant. Why did I watch this

I'm planning something VERY heavy. Stay tuned😂

In the winter in AZ I work at a golf course and it honestly is the best job I’ve ever had… the people are nice and if they are a little tipsy they tip very well.

I built a water powered hammer called a “Monjolo”. I started by making a water spout from half a hollow log to direct water from the creek. This was set up in the creek and water flowed through it. The hammer was made from a fallen tree. I cut it to size by burning it at the points I wanted it cut (to save effort chopping). Next I carved a trough in one end to catch falling water. This was done first with a stone chisel that was then hafted to an L-shaped handle and used as an adze. This adze only took about an hour to make as I already had the chisel head and cordage made of bark fibre to bind it with. To save further effort carving I used hot coals from the fire to char the wood in the trough. I put the coals in using “chopsticks” (unused arrow shafts) to transfer them from the pit. The coals were fanned or blown with a wooden blowpipe till the wood in the trough burned. Then the char was scraped out. The sides of the trough were sealed with clay to make sure the wooden sides did not burn away which would effectively decrease the volume of the trough. This was approximately 8 hours work over two days. With the trough carved I made a hole in the middle of the log as a pivot point. Using the same char and scrape method I burnt a hole right through the log using hot coals and a blow pipe. Again clay was used to prevent wood burning where it was wanted. To burn through the approximately 25 cm diameter log it took about 4 hours and 30 minutes. Another hole was burnt in the end to fit the wooden hammer head and it took a similar amount of time. A tripod lashed with loya cane was set up at the water spout. The axel of the hammer was tied to one leg, the hammer fitted onto the axel and the other end of the axel tied to another leg. The trough was positioned under the waterspout to collect water and the tripod adjusted so that the resting point of the hammer was horizontal (so water wouldn’t prematurely spill out of the trough). The trough filled with water, outweighed the hammer head and tilted the hammer up into the air. The water then emptied out of the trough (now slanting downwards) and the hammer then slammed down onto an anvil stone returning to its original position. The cycle then repeated at the approximate rate of one strike every 10 seconds. The hammer crushes small soft types of stone like sandstone or ochre. I carved a bowl into the anvil stone so that it would collect the powder. I then crushed old pottery (useful as grog for new pots) and charcoal. Practically speaking, this hammer worked ok as a proof of concept but I might adjust it or make a new one with a larger trough and bigger hammer for heavy duty work. This is the first machine I’ve built using primitive technology that produces work without human effort. Falling water replaces human calories to perform a repetitive task. A permanent set up usually has a shed protecting the hammer and materials from the weather while the trough end sits outside under the spout. This type of hammer is used to pulverise grain into flour and I thought I might use one to mill dry cassava chips into flour when the garden matures. This device has also been used to crush clay for porcelain production. A stone head might make it useful as a stamp mill for crushing ores to powder. It might pulp fibres for paper even.

This was recommended to me from Chelsea 2016/17 champions???? wtf

this is litteratly my job and I'm sixteen don't go acting like this is hella difficult

Every Day I Need Attention That’s what Edina stands for

Lol... range balls. I use titleist pro v1 when im at the range. They fly much longer

Lmao. "That's exactly what they're gonna do!" Lmao

I just got a call back from a golf course for a job and have an interview in the morning. I have a feeling that the hand picker is gonna be the worst lol

It would be very hard to drive one of those ball picker machines because I would struggle to steer the machine around the driving range if I learned how to drive one of those machines. Also I would be terrified of the balls hitting the picker machine when I'm inside and smash the glass out.

I love the woman at the 1:07 mark in the red blouse...... She hits a dead shank, and follows through like it's right down the middle....😆

What a nice looking facility for the city.

I picked for a year, our surface was full of potholes and bumps due to rain. Would love to pick on grass all we had was dirt and had to wear masks Haha. Glad I'm maintenance now. Actually feel good after a days work. And get to play with little duckies

me nd my uncle who got me into golfing, we have a game who can hit the golf scooper. who ever hit it has to give them a back scratch

4:25 lmao

Subscribed. I live 1200 miles away. But subscribed.

He dumped golf balls in the machine just to get them put back in 😂🤣🤣😂

1:08 hozel rocket

This channel is sooooo underated

That would be perfect summer job

I would do that but I would make it more entertaining with a funny uniform and funny paint job lol

I’ve driven a picker as a job and lemme just say it sucks!!

I always aim to hit the ball in the exhasut pipe. but im not very good

I worked this job as a 16 year old. Trust me, it gets old QUICK. Most golfers drink excessively, smoke, dip, and do everything they can to trash the course and the carts. Not fun after a while.

my parents divorced when I was twelve so golf found me a job at Jon stadlers driving range. He couldn't pay me much...twenty dollars a week, I would have worked for free because I got to hit as many balls as I wanted I was there seven days a week. Got my draft notice six years after. Jon said you can have your job back when you come home from 'nam... eighteen months later, and an early release progress had built a warehouse on Jon's range he passed... I hate progress.

I used to do this! Super fun job. A couple different things though from the range I worked at. We had an actual golf cart attached to the picker, not just a tractor/mower type thing. And we were allowed to drive it when it was wet outside - just not up and down any hills.

I'd love for you to show me whoever that is using the gold light refraction sheet fired... other than that very professional and en"light"ening video! xD

In Japan, we have slanted slopes so any balls in any distance will roll to collectors! (Except the ones like chipping distance away, they get picked up manually!)

Nobody: Absolutely nobody: EdinaTv: lets make a video about an hard working driving range attendant

I always wear a dress shirt and tie when I go to the driving range .

Whats more impressive is seeing the golf balls 2 feet away from the tee box.

Bit like brooks showing Andy around the library in shawshank

"Driving Range Attendant" ... More like moving target practice.

omg... the course I worked at over the summer (kinda crappy), was just a golf cart with a ball picker upper attached to the front of it😂... talk about low budget...

Have you picked up a club in the last year?! That explains the random selection process.

At San Bruno Golf Center they have pipes that send the balls to the 4 range servants they have 2 for the top decks and two for the bottom deck.

Hello! Please tell me the name of this contest? what is the name of such a structure as on video. I do not understand this is some kind of golf? when do people just hit the distance?

Working at a golf range or golf course must so cool and fun to work at looks like I would say a job that I would like to do

this is July, I'd kill for it to be summer. i do this as well and can get about 15 cans in a matter of two hours.

Im 12 and i was at a golf clinic and the guy said whoever could hit the cart golf ball collecter would get a soda

You didn't have fun if you haven't tried hitting the ball picker with your friends

I worked as a GSA at whistling straits. Such a fun job working at a golf course! Really miss it

Great clothes for if I showed up to job wearing that I'd look like an idiot of an office worker

im 15 and work also as a driving range attendant but we got a john deere gator to pick the bals up it way better

Everyone loves when the tractor comes out target practice

I don't know how but here I am. These recommendations keep on recommending

Every time I go to the rang it’s those cart driving and I alway try to hit it it’s pretty fun

My question is is if they continue to hit the balls why would they use hand pickers

Pat looks like he's been riding too many golf carts and not enough walking.

i do this 3 times a week for 5 hours a day smh

My favorite part of the job working at Langdon farms 15 years ago.

Man, if i was there i would literally aim for that vehicle :D

I was at top golf it was out and I always try to hit it I do a game with my family who ever hits it first wins a free drink 😂

Are the range balls used here (no water, no floaters) go as far as a regular golf ball?

ronald

RU-vid knows I watched gavin and Stacy damn it

They're called cart boys on my course

Why do they wash the balls

I played at this golf course a few weeks ago and it was pretty nice

thanks pat

Why does he shake the bucket not like there going to get stuck 5:15

You could tell he was so excited to operate that tractor thing lol

How old do you have to be to do this?

Why does the bucket it’s not like there going to get stuck 4:15

Why tf is this recommended

He looks like skippy

When I go to the practice field when I see those car I am at them

I like to aim at it

I’m 16 and that’s what I do

This may just be the whitest thing I’ve ever seen

My mans is too excited for this
