Behind the scenes at the JDC

Roberto Munoz, a TPC Deere Run course maintenance staff member, shuttles a mower toward the No. 13 green during the early morning hours on Wednesday, July 6, 2011. Beginning at 4:30 a.m., 25 staffers mow greens, reset pins and rake sand traps in preparation for John Deere Classic Tournament play. The maintenance team completes its tasks by 8 a.m. and returns to the course after play where it continues to tend to the 4 miles of turf until 9 p.m. The cycle starts over the next morning.
