Over the past few weeks we've been verticutting fairways. This procedure is done to help improve the ball lie on the fairways. If you have an upright growth habit the ball will sit up better allowing golfers to hit a cleaner shot. The verticutting procedure cuts stolons and horizontally growing leaf blades, which will promote more vertical growth. We've completed three different directional cuts with the verticutter, which has made drastic changes to the overall ball lie on fairways. We'll be stopping this process until the fall, due to it being extremely stressful on the turfgrass.
