Operation • The type of grass • The overall management program (i.e., irrigation, fertilizing, spraying, coring, overseeding, etc.) Introduction • Traffic Grooming is performed in the turf canopy above the soil level. Grooming promotes vertical growth of grass plants, reduces grain, and severs stolons, producing a denser turf. Grooming produces a more uniform and tighter playing surface for faster and truer action of the golf ball. • Stress periods (i.e.
Height-of-Cut (HOC) and Height-of-Groom (HOG) Settings Use the Height-of-Cut (HOC) and Height-of-Groom (HOG) table to determine the recommended engagement ranges.

Important: Improper or over-aggressive use of the grooming reel (i.e., too deep or too frequent grooming) may cause unnecessary stress on the turf, leading to severe damage. Use the groomer cautiously.
