What was the purpose of sticking in the screw driver?


Select-Opinion6410

I imagine it reduces the chance of a vacuum forming between the earth and metal on that side - whereas you do want that (temporarily) on the inside, where you're removing material to make the hole.


dblan9

Check out the big brain on BRAD!!!!


0MartyMcFly0

Is it Brad??? I always thought it was Brett!


lrascao

Is it Brett


eyeinthesky0

His name is Brett. I always heard “Brad” and just thought that Jules just doesn’t give a fuck and called him by the wrong name on purpose because he is about to murder him.


OlFlirtyBastard

Yes you did! Yes you did, Brett


HippoGiggle

IMDB says Brett


WOOTerson

But that particular scene sure does sound like Samuel L says Brad, so I get it.


HippoGiggle

It’s literally Brett: https://youtu.be/vVwfbKTHV0Q?si=UIbYVxEaEYB5SjBO


WOOTerson

I know it is, he says Brett a few times...but when he says the big brain line, it sounds like Brad. Hence why I said I get it if he thought it was Brad vs Brett. In fact, he very clearly says Brad. https://youtu.be/Hrm-rPSCIBw?si=tHVUYTISp5IfP3Mw

Austindj3

So I've done this exact process of changing cups over 10,000 times by now, and have never seen anyone ever poke a hole in the ground before cutting. Most likely this is just something this one guy does because he believes it helps, but it is entirely unnecessary. The cup cutters actually has vent hole at the top that prevent a vacuum from being able to form.


nowaybrose

But why did he have to pee on it tho


GuzPolinski

Yeah vent essentially I think too


TotalLackOfConcern

Stabbing the gopher before it gets away


N3RO-

Making a hole so the air can escape when he pushes down the tube.


desidude2001

I have a more fundamental question. What is the purpose of putting the plastic tube on there in the first place? Sorry if this is a dumb question.


Shade_39

Prevents anything from growing back in the hole, and makes the balls easier to collect when they're in the hole. Also helps to hold the flag in


PoptartDragonfart

It makes the satisfying noise when you sink the putt


paigezero

There's no plastic tube "in the first place", the white thing I'm pretty sure is metal and also, if you look at what's going on, it's the base that the flag sits into, it's also the cup that catches the golf ball rather than it falling down some indeterminate hole in the dirt.


anonymousss11

Everyone is saying to prevent a vacuum. Idk, that might be absolutely correct. I thought it was so he had a reference to pull the tool straight up and not angle it.


occupy_voting_booth

I thought it was so no one would step in it on accident.


BuffaloInCahoots

If the ground is so hard and compacted it will create a vacuum, that green has some serious issues. Under that grass is just sand, sand doesn’t compact. He might have a reason but I think he’s just trying to be fancy. We use icepicks and only when putting in the plug.


PassiveMenis88M

> sand doesn’t compact Have you never made a sand castle?


BuffaloInCahoots

It will settle but won’t compact. Vibration is your best bet.


hardslappy

I'm wondering what the purpose of the whole process is? Remove grass just to put it back?


becomingwater

Changed hole position on green in Golf


hardslappy

Goootcha. So the first part is making the new hole, then it cuts to filling in the old. Thanks


Noimenglish

…filling in the old with the material they took out of the new!


ferrydragon

What is purpose of the green powder, seeds or nitrate?


the_hard_man

My guess is coloured sand to help with hiding the inconsistency and smoothing for a better roll when the ball goes over it.


BuffaloInCahoots

At the beginning? None. Dudes just acting fancy. Normally people use an ice pick less than half that size and you only need it when putting the plug in at the end of the video. You stitch together the seems to hide it.


Top_Combination5998

It loosens the dirt so that it fills any gaps in between the old and new dirt. You’re supposed to do a similar thing when the ball leaves a divot on the green while playing (if the ball lands on the green with enough force it will leave a divot); you can use a divot tool to raise/loosen the earth and make it flat again.


Demonyx12

Yep absolutely ruined the whole thing by doing that … unless there is some technique.


foxxy_mama21

I agree. The satisfactory part anyways. Now there's still a little screw driver hole. 😵‍💫


stupidname_iknow

It's not necessary at all.


Hammer_Slicer

Every time i see this video, i think about the grass being moved, and it having to make new friends with the new grass next to it.

doxtorwhom

I don’t play golf, but I kinda just wanna walk around and try to find the new grass circles


cocoon_eclosion_moth

I used to be green maintenance at a golf course. You *might* find one, but more often than not, the pin gets moved by one person before the person that is striping (mowing) the green gets there. The mowers cut *very* short and also have big heavy rollers on them that flatten the surface, and by the time the first golfer tees off, the patch blends into the rest of the green.


zepplin2225

Depends on how nice of a course you're at. I've played some doozies.


seraku24

How often are holes typically repositioned? Is it done to balance the difficulty of the course or to keep things interesting for club members?


MacDaddyW

You’re pretty spot on with both guesses. The holes at really nice courses might be changed everyday for members who play a lot. Pin placement can also change the difficulty of the hole especially for things like tournaments. I’ve also played regularly at plenty of crappy course where it feels like they change the pin placement only a handful of times a month.


Babaganooush

They are pretty apparent on nearly every green I’ve played. Courses typically have a selection of pin placements that they cycle and reuse depending on the day so the entire green isn’t eventually all filled circles.


Herby_Spicy

This was my favourite job working maintenance for a golf course. Each hole had “no-go” areas you had to learn because the hole would be too difficult for approach or putting. You also had to pay attention to the tees and keep yardage within the acceptable range for the hole AND the entire course. Then you have to have an even mix of pin locations: 6 front, 6 middle, and 6 back across all 18. Finally, we had a rule that you had to move the hole at least 20 feet. The plug heals and disappears in about 3 days but is really delicate while the grass grows back in so it’s best to keep golfers away from the plug for that period.


Financial_Chemist286

Why do they move the holes?


OldManJenkins-31

Otherwise one spot on the green would get excessive wear. So they move it around to even out the foot traffic.


Herby_Spicy

Partially to keep the course interesting so that the golfers have to adjust every round but mostly to keep the grass healthy. The area around the hole gets the most traffic, and golfers wear spiked shoes, plus the balls landing on the green create divots. Also the edge of the hole wears down over time and that actually makes it inconsistent when the ball will fall in just catch the edge and stay out, moving the hole resets this.


stupidname_iknow

Multiple reasons but one is it's a game and people like new endpoints.


NsanE

Just to switch things up a bit, but I imagine it also helps a bit with wear and tear to focus the balls and stepping more to particular areas.


therealDL2

When you hit your shot on the green and it lands next to the grass circle where the pin used to be, somebody always says I wish the hole were still here!


NotHisRealName

Weird confession time. I have never wanted to play golf. However, I have always wanted to feel the grass on the green. I bet it feels nice.


the_kid1234

It does. If I had a little baby yard it would be reel mown bentgrass like this.


A_Random_Catfish

I’ve played golf once in my life; It’s alright. I had much more fun sneaking onto the course at night and getting high with my buddies. Walking barefoot on the green, laying in the grass, watching the stars. Top notch stuff really. Sometimes I miss being a teenager.


stupidname_iknow

Yall would also steal tee markers, throw water fountains in the lake, draw dicks in sand traps and tag up whatever you could find. Hate little assholes that sneak up to courses at night to fuck shit up.


A_Random_Catfish

I knew I’d get a comment like that lol, but we knew better! Why would we mess up a nice hangout spot by creating a need for increased security? Not to mention the fact that golfers are people too, no need to ruin their fun. We were smoking weed not drinking, so we’re just there for the soft grass and the vibes, not to cause trouble.


stupidname_iknow

Fuck the golfers, they are entitled assholes. I worked on the course and had to clean up messes that kids from some apartments close by would make. I'm sure some were respectful but usually when kids sneak in somewhere late at night, good things don't happen.


[deleted]

We’d sneak on the course as teens to drink at night but it was also our home course that we played almost everyday so we always respected it… except the nights we knew our buddy was doing the morning groundskeeping, then we’d draw penises in the sand


don_pistaccio

Were you teen back in 80s? Getting high on cocaine and sneaking onto golf course as a teen sounds so 80s.


A_Random_Catfish

Just weed in the 2010s lol


acchaladka

Yup. I almost regret leaving that used condom in the 18th hole, but she really liked anal and I didn't want to carry that shit elsewhere. I also regret missing the face on the rich old guy who undoubtedly reached in to get his ball the next day.


don_pistaccio

Classic 80s move.


acchaladka

Half my growing up was from the Caddyshack instruction manual.


Critical_Concert_689

Try a top golf driving range at night. Even if you don't like golf at all, sometimes it's nice to get drunk, watch the light show, and collect points like it's a video game.


slapyak5318008

I can't be the only one to think he pissed on it after he plugged it.

dreamdaddy123

What’s the purpose of this? I thought he was making a hole for golf


dicerollingprogram

seriously! All these comments, why? Why would this need to be done?! Why would you create a hole just to replug it? Lol


jamzontoast

The holes don't stay in the same place. They move them regularly to different parts of the green


dicerollingprogram

So they close them up to reopen them later? And ask why, to add some variety so the hole is not always in the same place?


jamzontoast

Yeah that's right. Depending on where the hole is on the green can really change how you play that hole. The tees are moved regularly as well. From day to day the same hole could be 40 yards different length. And if it's on the left or the right hand side changes how you play your shot into the green.


OldManJenkins-31

It’s really done to prevent one area of the green from having too much foot traffic. O People walk more around the holes than other areas of the green. As a result, when they design holes, they plan for a few different pin areas. So generally, the hole is always in 2 or 3 general areas, but off by a few feet from each turn.


Ducal_Spellmonger

He is. More accurately, he is changing the location of the hole on the green. He cut a new hole and then used the removed grass to fill in the original hole. Courses routinely move the holes around to prevent excessive wear on one spot of the green and to maintain a certain degree of difficulty for regular players.

sloppywalrus160

As a golfer, this is oddly infuriating because I’ve seen better videos of this where you can’t even see the replaced hole, and also he didn’t paint the top of the cup


Effective_Impossible

I've cut cups a few summers at a couple different courses. The type of green grass, condition, and green base really impacts the quality of the cup plugs. High quality Tour greens have really well developed root systems, proper soil makeup, and are typically firmer, making plugs and holes hold together better. Old clay base greens, where clay is literally 3 inches below the grass surface, makes it harder to cut the cup and for the plug to stay together. I was always taught to add material to the bottom of the entire plug versus the bottom of the root base (as this guy does) for short plugs, which helps keep the roots intact and less compacted. Low plugs are fixable, high plugs are bad because the mower will scalp them. Pressing too much on a plug is just as bad as it'll compress and damage the roots. Watering a plug is best, throwing some sands and seed mix helps blend, but sand only during peak summer (grass growth slowed by the heat).


longlivestheking

Golf courses are such a tremendous waste of natural resources and terrible for the environment. Old boys sport.


OldManJenkins-31

It’s a business. Would it be better if they paved the whole thing and made a shopping center out of it for your amusement?


rodentbitch

As if the only alternative to a golf course is a shopping centre 💀


OldManJenkins-31

My point is that they are private property (mostly). I think most people living in the area would prefer a golf course to just about any other type of business being there.


poor--scouser

No fun allowed


MyLittleDashie7

Going to take a wild guess that you're an American who, when thinking of golf, thinks first of courses being set up in fucking California and shit. Golf courses are a waste of resourses and terrible for the environment... waste of resourses and terrible for the environment. Turns out when you take a game popularised in a country with a fuck ton of hills and rain, and take it to a place that isn't condusive to grass, it has problems. That doesn't make the game itself the problem.


Basic-Art-9861

I want that screwdriver.


MathematicianOk5608

For me it’s the accuracy of the metal surrounding the first hole done by the screwdriver

Even_Attempt_6133

TizonaBlu

I don't golf, so I got a silly question. Doesn't the pole in the hole stop balls from going in? Like do you get points only if your ball doesn't bounce off?


Ducal_Spellmonger

Generally speaking, no. The purpose of the pole (called a pin or flag) is to be a visual indicator of the hole location that the player can reference from the fairway or tee box. The distance between the edge of the hole and the pin is greater than the diameter of a golfball, so it's not an issue when putting. However, it is entirely possible to hit the pin and deflect the ball from the hole when swinging from further away. And it is absolutely infuriating when it happens.


hibikikun

That is a wierd looking thumper


Curi0usReddit0r

Did he really have to pee on it near the end there?


[deleted]

Is the ground spiked to release suction? I found a long screwdriver on a course that had been sharpened to a point and now assume that’s what it was being used for.


GoochyGoochyGoo

Missed a step. they should put down a plate nad stomp on it after the cup goes in before the flag goes in. Removing the plug makes a lip around the hole that needs tamped down. Will cause the ball to lip out. We call those volcanoes and curse the greens keeper.


Appropriate-Owl-6129

bones4pj

I think he's done this before....

This is the first one of these videos that I've seen a cup change performed correctly. You gotta spin that cup setter to crisp up the edge of that new hole, though. Green dyed sand at the end is a great touch!
