It all depends on the course especially the layout. I could cut all 18 holes in 1 hour but it was wide open with a lot greens close to each other. That's no tee markers or divots because it was a private course with 5,000 rounds max a year. At my course I'm superintendent for now another private course it takes a lot longer. I Still only have them do only pins and divots unless we mow tees that's day. People who change tees also do water coolers and trash since I gave a large grounds crew. They fill divots on tees and on the range as well.

Consistent depth is vital to avoid time spent leveling a plug. A lot of courses use shitty, twist type cutters, like from R&R (with no depth gauge) and they're probably in need of sharpening. I have seen supers have a shelf full of old cutters because they buy new cutters (cheaper) rather than buying a sharpener for the ones they have. It's kind of pathetic what some supers deal with as far as budgets are concerned... A sharp pound-in cutter is always better. There is much less room for error and it requires less effort to use. Also, the assistant here gives the guy a little bit of shit because he didn't twist the cup setter before removing it.

I've wondered the same thing. I personally like the natural look, but from what I've beem told, its more of a preference the PGA has. Wherever the tournament is, the PGA has rights to go in and tell the superintendent how to take care of the care (i.e green speed and grass height). If the PGA wants a white cup all aound, they will get it, no questions asked.
