Greens Mowing


We are officially down to out summer height of cut of 0.125" (1/8").  We are double cutting daily and rolling 3x a week. The greens will pick up considerable speed in the next week.  Once we get a denser canopy, we will start grooming and verticutting to get more upright, faster conditions.  With the immense amount of shade we receive later in the year, it is crucial that we grow the densest stand of turf possible because in another couple weeks, it's all downhill in terms of growth.  Many of our greens can't recover from normal wear and tear.  It's is important we don't push them too early in the season so we have turf that lasts season long.
