Online video series helps superintendents teach the necessary skills all golf course maintenance staff need to know

Lawrence, Kan. (May 27, 2025) ­– The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (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.
