Default Green sludge

My wife and I are new to this pond thing. We just put in a 2000 gl pond,
everything is great. Water is clear, we have a skimmer to get all the junk
on top of the water and a bottom drain to get the junk on the bottom. We
have 2 spillways that return the water back to the bond, 2 lilies and a
bunch of marginal plants. In the morning everything looks great but as the
day goes on clumps of green algae float to the surface. These things look
like green globs. The skimmer get them no problem but it takes away from the
looks of the water.
What is this stuff, and how do we control/get rid of it?
(We also have goldfish in the pond)
