Our Greenskeeper Pushes Beyond Limits - 3,249 Pushups even with a Beer Keg on His Back!
At Footscray Park Bowling Club, we pride ourselves on strong greens, strong community… and apparently, very strong greenskeepers!
Recently, our legendary greenskeeper set out on a challenge that has left everyone shaking their heads in disbelief. Not only did he smash through an incredible 3,249 pushups, but he did it with a beer keg strapped to his back. Yes, you read that right – pushups plus beer keg resistance training!
This wasn’t just a display of brute strength. It was a demonstration of grit, endurance, and the kind of cheeky determination that embodies our club spirit. While most of us struggle after a few pushups (especially post-raffle dinner), our greenskeeper powered through thousands – making sure every rep was as solid as the work he puts into keeping our greens in pristine condition.
Why does this matter?
It shows the heart and resilience that make our club what it is.
It’s a reminder that sport is as much about spirit as it is about skill.
And let’s be honest – it’s a story that deserves to be told over and over at the bar.
What’s next?
While we don’t expect everyone to start keg-lifting pushups, we do invite you to bring that same energy to our greens. Whether it’s barefoot bowls, Friday night dinners, or simply having a laugh with mates, this club thrives on big moments – and this one is right up there.
So next time you see our greenskeeper, buy him a pint. After all, he’s earned it (3,249 times over). 🍻
