Question: | "My father has played at our home course for almost 60 years. He raised the question about why our superintendent doesn't pole the greens anymore. Is this still practiced by courses throughout our region?" |
Source of Question: | Virginia |
Answer/Response: | "Dew poles are still available for use and, in fact, are part of the standard operating procedures at many courses in the Mid-Atlantic Region. Many years ago, dew poles were used to remove dew and guttation water on mornings when the greens were not mowed. Maintenance practices evolve, and the use of this particular strategy is not very common today. Current course conditioning demands have led to daily mowing, but dew poles are still used to ensure that the surfaces are free of clippings and other debris. In this day and age, very few courses pole the greens daily to remove dew." |
