| Abstract/Contents: | Presents suggestions for mowing putting greens. Suggests that "putting surfaces are the most intensely maintained turf on the course. In most instances, greens are mowed at least daily, with some course managers choosing to double or even triple mow greens to prepare for play." Explains that "it is important to have a defined interface between the green and the collar so the golfer knows if any part of a ball is touching the putting surface." Details green mowing practices at Valley Brook Country Club in McMurray, Pennsylvania, stating that "all of the collars are mowed with a single triplex. This itself is not unique, but the way the machine is set up is. One of the cutting units is set at putting green height and the other two are set to collar height. This setup allows the collar width to be easily maintained." |
