Putting Green Reclamation Part II

   

 

    I need to back track a little on an earlier discussion of expanding our greens.  It just didn't make sense to me how the greens could have shrunk as much as we originally thought.  I went on a recon mission and discovered there use to be another height of cut between the greens and where the collars are now.  As a way to save on labor, this second cut was eliminated, leading to perceived shrunken greens.  The consensus is still that some greens would be better suited if they were expanded, but others like #16 are plenty large enough.  We will continue working on #9 throughout this season and reevaluate this fall where we may want to expand elsewhere.  Sorry for the confusion.
