Video of covering #11

Here is a video of us covering #11 green. It is a little long and gets a little boring watching us spread out all of the sandbags, pallets, blocks, ect. that we have to put on there to keep it in place. Most of the video is sped up a lot but the part where we actually unfold the covers is almost actual speed. I condensed a 26 minute video into just under 6 minutes. Due to the size of #11 green it has 2 covers that cover about half of the green each. This makes the covers a little easier to handle due to the size, but it makes it a little bit more difficult to keep both covers down in the wind. The temperature when we started pulling covers was still in the mid 50's so it was not too cold out there and the winds were just getting up, blowing around 10-15 MPH. The camera was on a tripod and the winds starts to shake it a little bit towards then end. These temperatures and these winds are not even close to the worst conditions that we have encountered when covering this green. We have covered it in 30 degree temperatures with 30 MPH winds. Both of these covers were not folded up like we normally have them. As crazy as it sounds there is a way to fold them so that it makes it as easy as possible to unfold them. The second cover that we unfold in the video had all four corners folded in a way that all four ended up in the same place and this makes it very difficult to unfold in the wind.
