Being a greenkeeper at a small country golf course in New South Wales, Australia means you’re doing the equipment maintenance too. After working on a golf course as a jack-of-all-trades, and seeing a need for reel grinding for those country golf courses who would otherwise be facing downtime using a city grinding service, Gareth started a reel grinding operation of his own striving for an overnight turnaround. We discuss some what-not-to-dos from early in our careers and the satisfaction of bringing a dull mower back to life. Gareth gives a ton of credit for the way he operates his reel grinding service today to the Reel Turf Techs community and Hector’s Shop.
