A golf mechanic maintains and repairs equipment used on the golf course, including golf carts, lawn mowers, and landscaping equipment. They also work in the golf shop and are responsible for engine maintenance, inventory control, and cart repairs.
A golf mechanic works to maintain the various machines and equipment used in the maintenance and operation of the golf course. Part of this job may involve maintaining golf carts, while other aspects of this profession require repairing and protecting ground equipment such as lawn mowers and mowers. A mechanic usually works on the grounds of the golf course as well as in the golf shop, performing repairs, maintenance and cleaning on items used by golfers and staff. While much of the work is manual, the mechanic must also be able to understand and apply knowledge from equipment manuals, as well as calculate schedules and repair times.
Engine maintenance and repair is a big part of any golf mechanic job. This can include smaller motors on lawn mowing equipment or larger motors like those found on construction equipment. A mechanic is responsible for diagnosing and repairing any problems found with this equipment. He must keep all golf course engines, such as those in tractors, haulage vehicles and chainsaws, in smooth operating order. He may also need to repair other parts of the equipment, such as the suspension or electrical systems.
A golf course uses many other types of landscaping equipment, and a golf mechanic may be tasked with repairing, prepping, and cleaning those as well. This can include items like scissors or sharpeners that need sharpening or oiling. The golf mechanic may also be responsible for maintaining an inventory and controlling a budget for these accessories.
While a golf mechanic is often called to a specific location on the golf course to help with repairs, he also spends a great deal of his time at the golf shop. Here, he is responsible for the routine care of the store and its machines, such as polishers, saws and drills. He is also responsible for store security and communicating safe operating requirements and machine maintenance standards to other golf course employees.
To maintain the carts, a golf mechanic may be tasked with cleaning and repairing golf cart parts including the battery, tires and underneath the carts. This type of mechanic is also responsible for testing, replacing and repairing golf cart batteries. A golf mechanic routinely checks battery connections, cables, and water levels as well. In addition, he must be able to troubleshoot and correct more sophisticated issues with golf cart operation, such as suspension patterns.
