    Renovating an abandoned golf course

Transcript

You buy an old golf worse, comes with some pretty cool old clubs. Here's everything we got done this month. We found new irrigation lines on parts of the property we didn't even know had water. We got this line going into the ground. So I assume that feeds going out towards these greens. We good ourselves a new water pump so we can go from the river into the existing lines. Next step is just hook it up to where things break. Of course, we put a ton of hours into mowing. People keep asking us what we're using to mow this whole place. That would be the Snake yes three from TriMax. It has to be the most versatile rotary mower. The in range team sent a crew from South Africa to set up these seven new bays with in range simulators which has been the best decision that we've made to date. To promote that, we did a $10,000 hole
