Last week we began to experiment with brushing greens before we mow them. Our aim was to stand the grass up that had been laid over on its side so that we could get a much better cut on the greens. Getting a better cut on the greens will help them to remain fast and smooth.

We used four large brushes and had four members of the crew brush each green on the course. We then hand mowed the greens immediately afterwards.

The procedure was a complete success. We observed a phenomenal cut after the brushing. We plan to continue this practice every other week (weather permitting).
