If you played golf earlier this week you may not have noticed the greens were verticut.What is verticutting? It is the thinning of turfgrass by blades that cut perpendiculally to the soil. Along with improved putting conditions, verticutting has many agronomic benefits as well. During the growing season it will be performed weekly to bi-weekly depending on growth rates and enviormental conditions. Topdressing will follow this at times.
