Last week the crew finished verticutting tees. The machine being used to do this has blades that spin around on a shaft. Each blade then cuts a linear groove in the turf removing accumulated thatch. The removal of excess thatch helps lessen disease pressure, helps with water penetration and maintains a firmer playing surface.
After the tees were verticut in 2 directions there was a substantial amount of thatch to be picked up. Sand topdressing was then applied.
