| Question: | "Mowing heights on putting greens are being pushed lower and lower. Bench setting using the old bar-and-screw technique is becoming more and more difficult due to the small increments of change in mowing heights during the growing season. I realize the more precise gauge-type height adjustment tools are being used more often. However, I am a bit confused by the numbers. What do decimal numbers such as 0.130 mean in terms of cutting height?" |

| Answer/Response: | "The decimal numbers represent fractions of an inch. For example, 0.125 is equal to 1/8 inch; 0.140 is equal to 9/64 of an inch; 0.156 is equal to 5/32 of an inch; and 0.250 is 1/4 of an inch. The gauge-type height adjustment tools allow mowing heights between these heights to be set as well. These tools can take some getting used to, but they provide a greater level of precision when setting mowing heights." |
