Turf School Day Two

Today we had Math, Introduction to Mowers, and Landscape Management. Tha math was all about solving the areas of different shapes and areas. The mowing class was about clip rates and making sure that your mower is set up with the correct number of blades to cut at the needed height. We discussed the difference between rotary and reel mowers; the pros and cons of each. We finished up the day with Landscape Management. We discussed the difference between management and maintenance. We also discussed the importance of managing the golf course and landscape to the intent of the designer.

    I have read your BLOG, great idea to document your turf education; I just wish something like this was available “back in the day”.

    Good luck and keep up the good work.

    All my best, Mike
