| Question: | "During hot, dry weather our fairway turf in places is brown, while in other places, especially those which lie low, it is green. There is quite a difference of opinion as to the advisability of cutting grass that is withered from the summer drought, and in cutting fairways of the condition described it is almost impossible to cut simply the green spots and leave the brown untouched." |

| Answer/Response: | "Our advice is to cut the fairways regularly whenever there is sufficient growth anywhere on a fairway to justify cutting even though portions of a fairway may be withered. To discontinue cutting entirely under such conditions would result in the grass on the low areas growing altogether too high and becoming objectionable from a playing standpoint. The mowers on the fairway should however be set to cut as high as the players will permit. If the grass on an entire fairway is withered, of course regular cutting should be discontinued." |
