| Question: | "I have heard the term push and pull the fairways used on many occasions. What does this refer to?" |
|---|
| Source of Question: | Ohio |

| Answer/Response: | "This is a term referring to a mowing procedure. Pushing the fairways is mowing the turf from tee to green and pulling is mowing from green to tee. Another way to look at this would be to see a dark and a lighter appearance to the turf. The lighter appearance is pushed (mowed) away from the players eye, while the darker appearance is pulled (mowed) toward the tee. This mowing pattern is being used more frequently to aid in mowing effi ciency. Less time is spent mowing with much less turning in the rough. Fairways are often pushed and pulled for championship events." |
