| Abstract/Contents: | Suggests that brushing greens before mowing them has multiple benefits without disturbing the surface. Explains that according to a United States Golf Association (USGA) Senior Agronomist, "brushing encourages more upright growth of creeping bentgrass and provides a smoother putting surface." Provides comments from superintendents about their views concerning brushing greens prior to mowing, noting that the negative is possible physical damage to leaf tissue. Details that the cost of equipment is a potential reason more superintendents don't utilize various agronomic practices. Notes the frequency of brushing greens is up to the superintendent, but often depends on the time of year or the topdressing schedule. |
