We are verticutting Greens today. Verticutting helps eliminate grain. Grain develops when bentgrass grows. The bentgrass likes to grow horizontally. It lays flat on the putting surface. Verticutting cuts these horizontal leaves and lifts them out. What happens next is the new leaf grows upright, that will give you a much better ball roll. You will have less leaf that the ball comes in contact with. Our verticutting is agressive this time of year. In the warm months we are not as agressive taking about 1/2 as much material.
Dan Verticutting Putting Green. He fills baskets up about every 3 passes.
