Abstract/Contents:Describes a system of painted dots used at Cattail Creek Country Club to delineate daily mowing patterns. Explains that the system "eliminates the confusion regarding where the approach mowers stop and the fairway mowers begin. It also effectively distributes wear from the larger fairway mowers over a broader area, which reduces the negative impact on turfgrass quality. The connect-the-dots system also provides a definitive transition line between fairway and approach spray applications." States that "this system of small painted dots of varying colors to address mowing patterns is very simple, but effective. The results provided at Cattail Creek speak for themselves."
