Today we tried something "different" for lack of better words. We verti-cut greens and other turf to eliminate thatch and to reduce the "spongy" characteristics of the putting surface. This effect is common this time of year on our type of greens. starting now through the heavy growing season, we will verti-cut at a depth of 1/8 of an inch every week and "reverse reel" verti-cut once of month. The latter process requires for the mower reels to turn in reverse and will cut deeper, more aggressive into the turf. As you can see in the videos, we are removing copious amounts of thatch.
I love doing this to the greens!
