Operation These factors can vary from golf course to golf course and from green to green. It is important, therefore, to inspect the greens frequently and vary the grooming practice in accordance with the need. Introduction Grooming is performed above the soil level. Grooming promotes vertical growth of the grass by cutting runners (stolons), removing thatch, and encouraging denser growth and deeper rooting.
PAGE 6
Note: The color of the grass will change when the grooming reel is used. This can be observed with the first grooming and will continue over time. Experience will allow the greens superintendent to judge by color of the turf (along with close examination) if the current grooming practice is appropriate for the particular green. Because the grooming reel stands up more grass and removes thatch, the quality of the cut will not be the same as without the groomer.
