We recently completed verticutting the greens for the second time in two weeks. This is a great cultural practice to remove thatch from the top layer of the greens. It promotes a more upright growth of the turf which will provide a cleaner cut with the mowers. This will help in ball roll speed as well. There is little negative impact to immediate playability of the greens. We will also add a light sand topdressing after we are finished. I hope to get one more verticutting in before temperatures really start to dive down.
