2/9/10

Another sunny day at Piperdam.





We cut of fairways, tee's and approaches on the wee course. Then moved onto the big course and started cutting the fairways, it was dry so they came up very well with no lumps of grass clippings. We also cut around trees and cut rough on the big course.
We also double cut the big greens with a triple with the groomers down, amongst other things the groomers vertically lift/cut any grass that has folded/flattened over and thus allows a cleaner more uniform cut. This also helps to stress and thin out the yorkshire fog this will allow the fescue and bent grasses the chance to out compete it. If yorkshire fog is left unchecked it will smother the finer grasses and spread. In the photo you can see the groomers inbetween the roller and cutting cylinder.
