| Answer/Response: | "One of the most common issues of new putting greens is perimeter thinning from continual mowing. Young greens lack an appropriate pad of thatch and organic matter, necessary for stress recovery. To maintain good turf density during the winter play season, perimeter mowers (preferably walk-behind mowers) should be affixed with solid rollers. It is also important to disperse play properly over the winter during the first season of growth. Limited entry/exit areas can become quite thin from increased traffic. These issues become tolerable following the first season of growth, when a proper pad has developed, but they are quite stressful during the initial year after sprigging." |
