    Lawnman,

    Top property!!
    Yes.........Looks like a tuff job!!
    Especially mowing with a cylinder.
    Bloody good job by the looks of things.

    But.....All that said I'd have absolutly no issues what so ever.............any way....shape.....or fourm mowing those hills and doing a bang up job of it with a 52'' ZTR .

    I'd try and I'd succeed and not only would it look bloody tops.. it would be economical for the owner

    Where are the BMX bikes! Would of loved something like that as a kid!

    Whats the thinking behind it! Is it there for a reason?

    Is it Lawn Sculpture or something?

    The people who come up with this stuff obviously dont mow!

    I dont envy you mowing that mate! Looks like a Pain in the azz!

    Ryan it was $50/hr with a total of 3.5 hours = $175

    There was way more to it than pictured and very long in places. There rough area mower had broken down and they were desperate to get it mowed. People were loosing there balls! hehe

    Greg, there was no way of working out how many acres! Thats why I did it per hr! There were no square areas just driving around the fairway. Heaps of fig trees with the roots across the ground slowed me down not to mention the length and thickness of the couch and where it was being thrown. That pic shows really the only open bit of ground if you know what I mean. Also had to pick up some palm frons, wait for golfers to move on, driving out to the fairway, talking etc so it wasnt 3.5hrs constant mowing
    This is regularly ferted/watered stuff that hadnt been mowed for a few weeks.

    Really wasnt as straight forward as you may think.

    If I was to hazard a guess, somewhere around the 3-4 acres or so but dont quote me on that!

    I can see one on the other side of the tree line (Thats more golf talk for ya) but is there one in the open area in the open space in the pic...........I cant tell where if thats rough meeting fairway (Golf talk)?

    Al, Cant tell where the fairway is? Hmmm, I must be good! haaa

    In the first pic, above the mower is the Fairway and the Tee's behind me.
    This pic shows it I think! Fairway left, Tee right!

    Really wish I'd taken more pics to show properly but thats life!

    Before pics I cant see the fairways over the long grass................Arfter pics can't see over the piles of clippings ya left everywhere ya grub

    Hehe......Nah....that last pic is good. Bit more defenition to where tee, rough and fairway begin and end



    So did ya leave clippings all over thier golf buggy paths arfter ya packed up and left mate ....... Thats a bit dodgy aint it

    Also...........Last pic bottom kinda left area..........Whats the deal with all those clippings mate?

    Cheers mate! I was happy and so was... The man!

    I asked him about the clippings and he said theyd sweep em up but I did the reverse blow thing from the deck which cleaned them up some!

    Clippings have gotta go somewhere mate and as long as they wernt on the fairway its cool!

    I would loved to of left the place with bugger all clipping on the grass etc but I let The Man pick the height and it was so thick they just sat on top.

    He just needed it cut whick I was happy to do!

    Always wanted to mow on a golf course. Next, an airport then a footy field! hehe Wheres that big Toro thing? hehe
