Immediately after the 106th Rose Bowl Game, we went over to Brookside Golf Club just outside the north end zone of the stadium in Pasadena, California to visit with superintendent George Winters.

Each year for the Rose Bowl, UCLA home football games, concerts and several other events throughout the year, Winters and his team convert parts of the 36-hole Brookside property into parking and tailgate areas.

When the events are over, his team works throughout the night to turn all 36 holes back into functioning golf courses by 8 o'clock the following morning. In other words, by the time this video was posted, the golf course still was in the process of being cleaned up overnight for the morning's first foursomes.

Winters said this year his team will fill eight dumpsters overnight with garbage left on the golf course. When we met up with him, his utility cart included a discarded grill and a child's battery-operated car.

After the game, he was kind enough to take time out of his busy reclamation schedule after the game to share some of what he and his team go through as they convert to parking and partying and back to golf again.
