| Question: | "Two of our greens were planted from bent stolons last fall, but unfortunately the greenkeeper let them get away from him so that the mower could not cut the grass at all. The result was that the greens were practically hopeless; although soft and comfortable to walk on, they were impossible as putting surfaces, being neither true nor fast enough. Personally I think the turf is too thick and matted and far too long, and our problem is to get it into condition where it can be properly cut with a mower and kept so." |

| Answer/Response: | "You have no remedy except to rake up and then cut away the tall, matted growth. When this is once done, by topdressing every month and cutting closely each day you can get a good putting surface again. Your greens will look bad for a time, of course, but they can be kept in good condition only in the manner we have outlined." |
