Verticutting greens today!

Today we begin our bi-weekly verticutting. Every other week we will perform a non aggressive vertical mowing of the greens. This procedure helps us control both the grain and the thatch levels. 
Too much thatch will create a spongy feel to the greens. Too much grain effects both putting and mowing. 
Twice a year, during our greens aerification we verticut aggressively. This is done during the height of the growing season so healing time is minimilized
