| Question: | "I recently noticed a recommendation for cutting creeping bent in the early stages of turf development in which it is stated that the grass should be cut at first with an ordinary lawn mower, and after the first topdressing it should be cut with the mower set at three-quarters of an inch and gradually lowered until the proper height for the finished putting surface is reached. This is apparently contrary to former advice to cut it to a putting green length from the beginning. Which method should we follow?" |

| Answer/Response: | "Cut close from the beginning and you will find that a true putting surface and a good dense turf will develop quicker and with less labor." |
