Walk Mowing Greens


Following aerification, when there is a lot of sand on the greens, we triplex-mow greens for a week or two until we can get through a majority of the sand, which is damaging to mower reels.  Today was our first day of walk-mowing greens this spring.  Its a blustery day with a high temperature in the low 50's and 20-30 mph wind gusts.  The greens are recovering nicely and provided the weather remains consistent, the greens will be really nice in a week or so.  We are currently mowing at 0.132" with our seasonal goal being 0.125".  By next week we'll be at 1/8" (.125).
