| Question: | "We have a golf course that gets so wet during the winter months that we cannot even get mowers out to cut the roughs for several weeks. We cannot afford the amount of sand topdressing and drainage needed to make the roughs mowable, so do you have any other ideas?" |

| Answer/Response: | "Scott Stambaugh, superintendent of Overlake G&CC, has found a perfect answer to your question. He found that lightweight power bunker rakes can operate virtually anywhere without leaving tire marks. His mechanic then built a lightweight towbar that tows three lightweight homeowner lawn mowers to create his own triplex rough mowing unit. Mr. Stambaugh now reports that nine holes can be mowed daily using his "wet set" of mowers regardless of how wet the roughs (or fairways) may become." |
