| Question: | "We notice that after cutting our putting greens this year the grass is ribbed, presenting a square checkerboard effect, when cutting both ways. Can you suggest a remedy?" |

| Source of Question: | Massachusetts |

| Answer/Response: | "The effect you describe will be produced if the cutting blades of a mower are not evenly adjusted or if the roller on the mower is not set level. In both cases the grass at one end of the knife is not cut as close at the grass at the other end, producing unevenness, or ridges or ribs of uncut grass running parallel with the direction in which the mower is pushed. By cutting both ways with such a mower the checkerboard effect is produced. In cutting thick turf too much attention can not be given to the adjustment of the blades of the mower. The blades must also be sharp, else an uneven, or corrugated, turf will result." |
