Walk mowing greens

Last week the maintenance staff started walk mowing greens for the season.


During the spring, fall and winter months we utilize a ride on triplex greens mower that allows us to mow the greens with 1 mower and operator.


During the summer months we use walk mowers, which requires 3 machines and 3 operators.  But the results and benefits are far superior to the ride on triplex.  There are not tire tracks on the greens, the quality of cut is better, and the smoothness of the green is superior.  Getting the tire marks off of the green, and having the rear drum that a walk mower rolls on really keeps the greens smooth.  Over the next few weeks you will see an improvement to the quality of the greens.
