Aerial picture of a golf greenWhen it comes to managing golf courses, greenkeepers play a crucial role in maintaining the pristine condition of the greens. Their duties include all horticultural practices as well as setting up flagsticks, marking hazards, irrigating areas, raking bunkers, repairing divots and general clean up.

After their morning work, a second round of tasks will begin and it often includes mowing the course, edging cart paths, and trimming the turf around bunkers and trees. However, they face a unique challenge  - dealing with rattlesnakes on the course.

You can help prevent snake bite injuries by implementing specialized clothing designed for all day comfort and protection. Originally designed for hunters and hikers,  Warwick Mills Turtleskin® brand of SnakeArmor products provide a lightweight puncture-resistant layer between the employee and the snake that wants to bite.  Wearing items such as Turtleskin® SnakeArmor chaps, pants and gaiters along with a pair of heavy-duty work boots will help prevent snake bites and punctures from thorny plants, shrubs and costly trips to the hospital emergency room!

Implementing Prevention Strategies

Greenkeepers work diligently to prevent rattlesnake encounters on the course. They often conduct regular inspections of the grounds to identify potential snake habitats, such as tall grass, brush piles, and rocky areas. By removing these attractive hiding spots, greenkeepers can reduce the likelihood of snakes taking up residence on the course. But before your crew hits the green, it’s important that you equip them with SnakeArmor!
